people appear in multiple stages

We need to be able to have individuals appear in different stages. For example the studio manager has to appear in the final stage to have final approval on everything.

For some clients the studio manager may also doing the artwork in the initial stages, therefor in the first or second stage.

Our workflows are set up to have the studio manager on the final stage so he cant easily be added to the early stages, because he is in the final stage. We dont want to delete the final stage so have to put someone else in the final stage to trick the system. All of this is unnecessarily cumbersome.

We need this ASAP as it is critical to our workflow. Our creative teams cannot use Workfront Proof without this ability to have the proof owner be named on a subsequent routing stage!

Andrzej Belka,

Any updates to this one?? We have a sister company who is in need of this. Above you mention moving this into development some time ago, but have not heard back.

Please let us know the progress and timeline around it.

Thank you!

Yes I remember mid last year seeing this as one of the roll-outs for the end of the year, but it seems like that didn't happen. Can we please get an update where this is in it's progress?

It looks like this has gone on for almost TWO YEARS without any movement?? I just had a Workfront rep refer me to vote on this thread instead of providing a solution- but this appears to be where user needs go to die.


This is basic project management need- can this please be prioritized and update the poor users on this thread?


Thanks.

Agreed. We haven't gone live with WF Proof yet, and this would be something we'd love to have live before we do. Is this within the roadmap?

This has been open for nearly 3 years now....

When can we expect a timeline? There has only been one comment from the Workfront team on this idea during that time, yet it has over 90 votes, well above the threshold....

My digital imaging team needs to use automated approval workflows and they need to have the same person on multiple stages, but are unable to do so, this is hindering adoption.


Any updates would be great so we can communicate with our users and set expectations.

Ditto on this. We need our associate producers on each stage to wrangle approvals from a very busy team, and having them subscribe to each approval (that they don't even create) is a huge time-drain.


Maybe we can get someone on the WF team to comment on the status of this?
