Description:
Our organization relies heavily on Workfront for document collaboration and approval workflows. One consistent limitation we've encountered is the inability to reposition the system-defined document-level approval field within the document panel. While custom forms can be layered above this field, the approval section itself remains fixed in place, which restricts layout flexibility and user experience optimization.
Why is this feature important to you:
I’ve observed that the fixed placement of the approval field often leads to confusion—especially when custom forms are used to capture additional metadata or context. This limitation impacts usability, and reduces the ability to tailor Workfront to our internal workflows. Allowing repositioning would improve clarity, streamline processes, and enhance alignment with team-specific needs.
How would you like the feature to work:
We propose that the document-level approval field be made configurable within layout templates—similar to how custom form fields can be arranged. Administrators should be able to drag and drop the approval field to a preferred location within the document view, allowing for better integration with custom forms and other workflow elements.
Current Behavior:
The document-level approval field is currently fixed in its placement and cannot be moved. It always appears in the same location within the document panel, regardless of layout template or custom form configuration. This limits flexibility and can lead to a disjointed user experience when additional fields are added above it.
