Workfront Updates Pin Feature and Filtering

Description - Would love to have the option to pin and unpin a certain update to the top of the updates thread. This would allow for easy visibility on the most up to date items, etc. Would also love the option to filter updates by date, time, etc. to quickly search through and locate a certain update. 

 

Why is this feature important to you - This would increase productivity within the Workfront platform tremendously and would avoid confusion and clearer communication with cross-functional partners looking for information via updates.

 

How would you like the feature to work - A button that says "Pin" next to "Reply" and " Like" - Once pinned there would be an option to "Unpin" 

For the filter, some sort of filtering option at the top right of updates then you can click and customize certain date, time, latest comments, etc) 

 

Current Behaviour - Updates are ordered in the time in they are posted, and all replies and updates are not able to be customized at this time making it difficult to find important updates.

    @hollybartlow Apologies for any confusion caused, I was just agreeing with everyone else saying it's a needed feature in my instance as well. And wanted to add that this feature needs to exist beyond the Project Level. I have no inside info from Adobe on if this will move forward. But hopefully everyone keeps voting and gets Product's attention.

    Our former Project Management software allowed workers to be able to create an update, and then pin to the top to indicate this was important.

    From the competitor:

    Do you have a super important message that you need to position front and center of a project? Introducing "Pin to Top." Now you will have the option to pin a message to the top of a project feed! Here's how to get started:

    Hover over a message and a Gear will appear in the upper right-hand side.

    Select the Gear and Click "Pin this post to the top."

    Voilà! Your most important message will appear at the top of the project feed.

      This would be a great feature to implement. Often users spend too much time sifting through all updates looking for a link or specific info.

      Hi All,

       

      Thanks a lot for your feedback and description of the use cases.

       

      We did have the enhancement of pinning/unpinning as well as filtering comments planned initially for implementation, but other priorities have come to replace it. Unfortunately I am unable to provide a timeline at this moment on when we will be able to get to this enhancements.

      We'd also like this, or at least the ability to display the most recent update at the top of a view. Right now, there is the 'All updates' view, which actually doesn't show the most recent update first. If the update is within another thread, it still doesn't rise to the top of the list. It becomes extremely difficult to stay on top of communication without this feature.

      Thank you for your interest in making our product more useful and user friendly.

       

      We understand the use case behind this and think this will be a valuable addition to the product, however, we are unable to commit to a timeline at this point. We might come back to this in the future.
