Better notification when someone on PTO

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?

This is a great idea. I'm glad that you are following up on the idea and holding us accountable. Unfortunately, the team is currently unable to build this feature. Right now, we're fully occupied with the recent Adobe acquisition and other initiatives, so our development resources are limited for the rest of 2021/early 2022. Since this is officially on our radar, we are always happy to revisit this in the future; but at this point, we don't know when that will be.

This came up from our side too. If you move communications away from email, these types of things need to be implemented. Even something like adding an icon next to your name like Slack does helps to understand if that user is OOO.

I am amazed that Workfront has not implemented this functionality yet. This should be a simple quick fix that would solve so many problems.

The fact that it has so many votes and has not been prioritized is very confusing to me.
