Awaiting My Approval Widgets Functionality Request: Proof Deadlines

Description: The Awaiting my approval widget is ALMOST really useful. It would be even better IF it contained proof deadline information. 

Why is this feature important to you: Many of our users, especially Legal and Compliance rely on Workfront to conduct asset reviews. Part of their requirements are a means of prioritizing their work. In it's current state, this widget does not provide that ability. 

How would you like the feature to work: I would like an additional column to be populated in the middle of the widget with proof deadline information and for the proofs to be natively sorted in deadline order. This will help our proof decision makers prioritize their decisions.  

Current Behaviour: It doesn't exist. It currently has the entry date with no explanation of what that date is, which is confusing to customers. 

 

For what it's worth, I would also like to see a proofs I need to review Widget with the same access and prioritization functional for folks who do NOT have decision making rights but are need to make comments.

@Kiersten_K  - currently we're using a combination of the my tasks widget - assigning a project task to the user(s) who's responsible for making the decision and making sure we match that task due date with the proof due date. We've also developed some pretty slick proof reporting but that would be less necessary if they just took that approvals/decisions widget all the way. They seem to take a lot of their new tools NEARLY there... but always manage to leave some some seemingly key functionality out.

This is something that would be beneficial to our internal customers who needs to approve assets as well. Without having a proof deadline it is confusing to our customers and doesn't give them the "sense of urgency" to approve on very time sensitive projects.
