Description:
The current capabilities of Adobe Workfront and Fusion do not fully support the need to restrict users from changing proof decisions after a stage has been locked. This poses a risk to the integrity of the proofing workflow, as it allows proof creators to unlock stages and alter decisions, potentially affecting the outcome of the proofing process.
Why is this feature important to you:
This feature is essential for ensuring the security and reliability of our proofing workflows. By preventing unauthorized changes to proof decisions and stage locks, we can maintain the integrity of our decision-making process and ensure that all stakeholders have confidence in the final outcomes. This is particularly important for teams that rely on accurate and consistent proofing processes to make informed decisions and maintain accountability.
How would you like the feature to work:
- Restrict Stage Unlocking: Implement a feature that allows administrators to set permissions that prevent any user, including the proof creator, from unlocking a proof stage once it has been locked. Only users with explicit system administrator rights should have the ability to unlock a stage after it has been locked.
- Enhanced Decision Change Tracking: Develop a feature that allows for tracking and reporting on changes to proof decisions. This could include:
- A new "Decision changed flag" field that is automatically filled out when a decision is changed, allowing for easy reporting on changed decisions.
- A notification system that alerts relevant stakeholders when a decision is changed after a stage has been locked.
Current Behavior:
- Proof creators can unlock proof stages and change decisions after a stage has been locked (regardless of their proof permissions level), which poses a risk to workflow integrity.
- Fusion does not reliably track changes in proof decisions, especially when the overall proof status does not change.
- Workfront lacks specific reporting capabilities to filter and identify changed decisions, making it difficult to track and report on decision changes.
