New Priorities Page Functionality

[#1]

Description - I like the look and feel of the new Priorities page as well as the filter and grouping options. I also like that if I create a new task from here and it automatically includes me as the assignee which I can "x" out if assigning to someone else. Here are a few things that would be helpful and enhance the UX:

1. Ability to add custom fields to the columns displayed.
2. Hyperlink the project names so we could right-click to open in a new tab. Task name is already hyperlinked, but you can't right-click and open in a new tab.
3. Add hover text to the Lightning Bolt like there is for the Home and Priorities icons.
4. Display the entire Task Name when you hover over it like it does for Project.
5. Have the pop-out icon pop out and open in a new tab like all my other applications.
6. Allow us to color code the Action button based on Due Date, My Focus or what criteria we choose. 

Why is this feature important to you - These features would increase the UX.

How would you like the feature to work - 

1. Be able to select from a list of fields including our custom fields to the displayed columns. 
2. Hyperlink the project names so we could right-click to open in a new tab. 
3. Hover over the Lightning Bolt and to see a description.
4. Hover over the Task Name and see the full name.
5. Click the pop-out icon and it open a new tab in my browser.
6. Seeing a visual cue if something is urgent, due soon, or past due would help to prioritize. 

Current Behaviour -

1. Adding custom fields to the columns displayed is not an option.
2. Projects aren't hyperlinked. Task name is hyperlinked but unable to right-click and open in a new tab.
3. Hover text is missing on the Lightning Bolt icon.
4. Full Task Name does not appear when hovering over it. 
5. The pop-out icon opens a side view window (iframe)
6. Action button is white. 

Workfront - Priorities - 2024-11-08_16-02-14.jpg ‏202 KB

I have been seeing this 'Priorities' button on my home page, but never tried this new feature.

Any Idea how this works and what to do with this feature? Is this really helpful for a Admin or Just for a end user?

Could not agree more - we utilize a lot of custom forms, and the priorities tab is actually incredibly user-friendly, and we would utilize it far more if we were able to add items to the summary panel even if we couldn't add columns. In the layout templates, I'm able to customize the summary panel, but the priorities page is excluded from any updates to that panel.

@KennyLarkins - Completely agree with all of your suggestions.

@Nijs_Gold_23 - From my use, this view is VERY end user oriented. It seems built for team members to use and even limits the movement to other areas of Workfront. This can be seen at a good thing if you value teams focusing on very specific Workfront functions and not getting lost in the sea of views and features elsewhere.

A few more key drawbacks I have seen:

1. Filtering by custom statuses is not possible. It seems that the simplified GUI has only made room for the out-of-the-box statuses. My suggestion would be to A) incorporate custom statuses as set by admins or B) open this up to status "equates to" options. As of right now, tasks with a custom status only show up if no filters are applied, but disappear if any of the preset status filters are checked. 

2. The My Focus column introduces a new categorization for tagging tasks that looks similar to, BUT NOT THE SAME AS a task's priority. I can understand why there is separation between the two (e.g. a task assigned to two people is one person's high focus, but not the other person's). However, it would be tremendously helpful if we were able to filter based on the My Focus metadata in other parts of Workfront. For me, I could use this in the workload balancer to filter out planned hours for tasks that is low priority. I think the reason this isn't available is because the metadata of My Focus is user-specific and in relation to their assigned task. It's the same reason we can't group tasks by assigned users - because there could be more than one user assigned to a task and Workfront can't show you the same task twice in the same report. Because of this, I don't have a great suggestion to allow us to filter by My Focus, but hoping Adobe can come up with something. 

3. My final suggestion is more of plea. If you're going to continue developing Workfront in this new UX, please incorporate other functionality like the workload balance. The ability for team members to see their planned hours stacked up together in a week or month timeframe is extremely valuable and has a direct relationship with what they focus on and prioritize. Introducing a gantt view that shows the same list of tasks would help do that and being able to adjust planned hours on the fly would unlock my team's use of Workfront as their source of truth and planning tool.
