Workload Balancer Updates

The Workload Balancer is one of the most useful tools within Workfront but could be made even better with some quality of life updates.

1. Ability to extend the length of time you’re viewing.  Right now there are limitations on the number of weeks or months you’re allowed to view (only up to 12 weeks/3 months).  Extending the ability to view as long as 6months to even a full year would be helpful.
   1. We see a variety of use with entering and managing allocations. Some teams enter allocations for the year on a handful of tasks and redistribute allocations as needed on a monthly basis when changes occur. Others focus on the more granular allocation to short-duration tasks that they need to see totals by day but over a period of several months.
2. Clear allocation to capacity comparison on the screen. A toggle to turn this on/off and display on screen rather than only having the pop up that shows you this information. 
3. Correcting the Workload Balancer so that when hours get contoured in the WLB and then dates later change the updates respect the project schedule and do no put planned hours on weekends.  This is a known and ongoing issue that needs to be corrected. If durations change and you don’t have the same number of days to put hours on, just revert to spreadhing the hours evenly with a warning message to the user they have to accept.
4. Ability to show/hide weekends for companies that do not schedule work on weekends. (Obviously need to fix the issue with Contouring before this can be an option.)  This would be another setting that can be toggled on/off.
