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?

Or have a function similar to the following when typing an update to someone:

when you type in a name for a task assignment, you can see that they are absent

We have gotten around this issue by asking the users to add (OOO until date) after their last name on their user profile before they are away and then removing it when they return. For the last week, anyone that tagged me in Workfront saw Mark Hahn (OOO till 7/5) as my name. Not elegant but it works!

We really liked Mark's idea. But in our WF instance due to SSO mapping with the company directory, if one checks in from time to time while out, the name change will be overwritten.


Looking forward to a solution soon from Adobe WF!

This function is needed urgently. Not being able to see when another user is ooo is one of the main complaints of our users. Adding "ooo" to the name does not cut it due to SSO. In one of our main processes, the proof owner will need to tag a lot of users and only see that someone is ooo after the feedback is overdue and the deadline has passed.


The best solution would be an easily accessible button on the profile page where the user just has to tick that they're ooo and select the start and end date of their absence.
