Offer a more grid-like view in Tasks

Some of our business lines are using existing tools like SmartSheet that have a very grid-based view.

The main benefits of this seem to be:

  • Looks more like a spreadsheet - empty rows are shown which make it feel very similar to using Excel
  • Full keyboard controls - because you are just seeing the grid, you can key across the columns/rows very easily
  • In-line editing is much quicker
  • Rows are constrained to a single height and don't automatically wrap - again helps with familiarity
  • Certain elements (e.g. comments) load in a dialog rather than as a whole new page which make it easier to go through the plan collaboratively

Moving to Workfront for these teams feels like a trade-off in terms of speed of entry. It would be great to have such a view in Workfront.

Hi Jamie, I put this in back in 2017 and it only has 11 votes, but never hurts to try to build critical mass. ;)

Upvoting but would really like to see this as a data set element instead.

Yes! I'd like some Keyboard Shortcuts, please.

Something like [CMD-HOME] & [CMD-END] to navigate to Top & Bottom Tasks on a long plan.


Thank you!
