Ability to Delegate Proof Approvals

Just like we can delegate project/task/issue approvals, and with 22.3 can delegate task/issue assignments, PLEASE have the ability to delegate proof approvals! There are other ideas for this with 'Not Planned' labeled, hoping power in numbers can help sway this bc this is something WF really needs. Hoping it is part of near-future proof enhancements.

As mentioned previously, this is something we absolutely recognize the value of, and it’s on our roadmap.

 

At the moment, there are no new updates to share but our plan is to introduce this as part of our new unified review and approval experience powered by Workfront and Frame.io 

 

We truly appreciate your patience and continued input. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as things progress.

Hi All,

 

If you're using Fusion you can create a "proof delegation" based on standard Work delegation.

This is something I just put in place for one of my clients. Working perfectly!

Hi nfo, we are using Fusion although it was configured by a third party for us so I'm not an expert..

is there a particular node that needs to be used or any further colour on this that might help us configure something similar to test here?

Any information gratefully received!

Hi @WhitUser 

 

The high level use case is:

  1. Daily Check on User delegations
  2. if user delegation, check if delegator is belonging to any current proofing workflow
  3. if yes, add the delegate user to the proofing workflow at proper stage with proper role
  4. if new proof created during delegation period, do the same for this specific proof (based on watch event in this case, not daily check) 

In our case it's 5 different Fusion scenarios with about 65 modules in total.

Thank you nfo for taking the time to elaborate, will be looking into this as it could save a lot of trouble.

Good news! We anticipate the approval delegation feature to be released in the Fall of 26 (Sept - Nov). This will be a feature exclusive to Unified Approvals.
