Dear Adobe Workfront Innovation Team,
I would like to propose a feature that would enhance efficiency and accuracy in Workfront: the ability to create a “Favorites” list for users and teams within task assignments and tagging functions.
Description
In many workflows, users frequently collaborate with the same individuals or teams. However, Workfront currently requires searching through the full user directory every time a task needs to be assigned or a colleague is tagged. This can lead to misclicks, slowdowns, and inefficiencies, especially when users have similar names. To streamline this process, I propose a "Favorites" List that allows users to mark colleagues or teams they work with most often for quick access in assignments and tagging.
Why is this feature important to you?
This feature is crucial for improving workflow efficiency, accuracy, and user experience:
- Saves Time – Reduces time spent searching for frequently assigned users.
- Minimizes Errors – Prevents misassignments caused by selecting the wrong person with a similar name.
- Enhances Productivity – Allows users to focus on work rather than repetitive administrative steps.
- Improves Usability – Makes Workfront more intuitive and personalized for users with high-volume task assignments.
How Would You Like the Feature to Work?
- Users can mark individuals or teams as Favorites from their profile, a dropdown menu, or the People section.
- When assigning tasks or tagging users, Favorite users appear first in search results or in a designated section at the top.
- The Favorites list is customizable—users can add or remove people based on changing workflows.
- This feature could be an optional toggle for users who prefer to keep the full directory view.
Current Behavior
Currently, Workfront requires users to manually search for individuals each time they assign a task or tag a person in comments. This leads to:
- Increased time spent scrolling/searching for the right user.
- Risk of selecting the wrong person, especially when names are similar.
- A less personalized and efficient workflow experience for users with recurring assignments.
By implementing a Favorites feature, Workfront can enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and improve overall user experience—helping teams stay focused and productive.
I appreciate your time and consideration, and I look forward to your feedback!
Best regards,
Mirella B
