Out of Office auto replies to directed updates

[#1]

When in the Tasks tab and your assigning a task to someone, if that user has PTO recorded in Workfront during the timeframe of that task, the only thing that displays is a yellow triangle next to the persons name that you have to hover your cursor over to read the message that the user is away during that timeframe. Can there be a pop-up instead as no one will read this message?

[#2]

We would really like this as well. We have been getting complaints if someone doesn't respond on a notification right away but if the person is out of the office, they cannot. It would be good to set an Out of Office just like MS Outlook

Hear hear -- my organization also is looking for Workfront functionality that informs end-users when a coworker they've tagged in an update/comment is out of the office. Drew, I'll vote up your related idea and post this same comment there!

We would like to see a way for a user to create an "Out of office message" (in addition to the current ability to log time off) that would either auto-send or notify someone who is trying to tag the PTO/Out of Office employee in a comment.

IN SUMMARY:

User A:

• Knows they will be out of the office September 7-11
• Blocks off time in their "time off" calendar (already an existing feature in Workfront)
• Sets up an "out of office message" (or the ability to use a system default out of office message), so if they are tagged in a comment, the tagger is notified that User A is out of the office

User B:

• Is unaware of User A's PTO schedule and has been working with them on an existing project
• On September 7, User B tags User A in a comment on a project they're working on together--immediately, there is a pop-up or * with User B's out of office notification, which helps to manage User B's expectations that a response from User A won't come until they return from PTO and allow User B to consider tagging a different team member who is in the office that week (currently User B would hear nothing all week)

This came up as a question in my company today. Would be lovely to add to the roadmap. Looks like the last update was over a year ago.

This is necessary if Workfront is to become a system of record!

[#8]

is this a duplicate idea to https://one.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PStQAAW/detail

[#9]

I think in spirit, my feature request is similar/the same, with just a use case built in and making sure the user could set up a detailed, custom out of office message instead of something generic.

Now that I see the other idea, it's amazing to me that it's been out there since 2017, has lots of votes and still isn't on the roadmap since it's a barrier to collaboration.

I'm happy to donate all of these points over to the idea linked below!

Great feedback everyone! We will take this into account as we go into our curation period (now until February 8th).

Or at the very least, the same type of "!" + overview text that comes up during task assigning.
