Show Allocation button no longer stays selected from session to session or after page refresh

The Show Allocation button no longer stays selected from session to session or after page refresh like it did in the past. Another in the long list of settings and UI changes that Adobe got wrong for Workfront.

 

Adobe's AI showed me this answer, which is BS:
"In recent updates, Workfront has modified how certain UI preferences are stored. The “Show Allocation” button state is now reset to its default (unselected) state when you log out or refresh the page. This change was implemented to ensure consistency across different devices and browsers.

 

To work around this:

  • You’ll need to re-select the “Show Allocation” button each time you log in or refresh the page.
  • Consider bookmarking the page with the allocation view already active, if you frequently use this view."

Note, the second suggested work around of Bookmarking or Pinning does not actually save the allocation setting as selected. If the “Show Allocation” button state is needing to be set as a default, then it should default to the selected state when you log out or refresh the page. As it is now, the default state is useless being "unselected," because it causes unnecessary extra work to select it every time you use the Work Load Balancer.

Glad you pointed this out, I noticed this today as well. The workload balancer itself is very frustrating tool. I've mentioned this several times in survey feedback. 

The out of box experience with Resourcing & Workload management is lacking. I really hope to see some updates that actual improve the product rather than revert to pointless adjustments like this one. The button to me is personally useless, I want to see the hours automatically not the project name. 

 

Hopefully this is something they can fix if enough people complain about it.

Well, I got an email today from WF support, and they fixed the issue. The button now again stays selected from session to session.
