Hi everyone! I've collapsed down a list of ideas that we have upvoted within our internal team and would appreciate your support too! Managing Tasks/Approvals Prevent Task from Being Marked as Complete If Required Fields on Custom Form Attached to the Task Are Blank Routing Custom Forms for Approval or Print to PDF Link Proof and Task approvals Task getting auto-approved when a Proof or Document associated with the Task is approved Managing Proofs Proof reviewer / approver delegation by current reviewer / approver Add/Edit Automated Proof Workflow from Inside the Proof Viewer New Proof: Change default from basic to automated Automated Proofs: Add option to create automated proofs as default or expose to API UX/Other/Admin Ability to export Custom Forms "https://community.workfront.com/discussions/community-home/digestviewer/Ability%20to%20report%20on%20issues,%20tasks,%20and%20projects%20together%20in%20one%20report" Ability to report on issues, tasks, and projects together in one report Allow screenshots in updates/comments Ability to convert the field type to another field type Make Custom Forms Appear as Tabs Implement Quick Pins for Custom Forms for shortcuts to Layout Templates New Home: Bring back Recent Updates I want to be able to set a default View/Filter/Grouping from Layout Template Ability to move from Sandbox to Production Mandatory logging of time on task Out of Office auto replies to directed updates Populate empty profile pictures with user's initials James Hill

I have a few users who would really love to have stamps in the proofing viewer: "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360027648374-Stamps-in-the-proofing-viewer">https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360027648374-Stamps-in-the-proofing-viewer We have flyer proofs that contain 12-20 products, and some reviewer/approvers are only responsible for some of those products (not all of them), so they want to be able to stamp each product price and photo to indicate they've checked their accuracy (without having to have oodles of markup all tied to a single comment or have to create a multitude of comments).

Please upvote this idea! Users often forget to delegate their approvals before they leave the office and are currently unable to do so via the app. https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360010467054-Delegate-Approvals-from-the-Mobi... Vicky Fitzgerald Telegraph Media Group Limited

HI, Please vote this idea up: https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028770453-Need-list-of-Proofs-user-needs-t... We need Workfront to finally add back a list tab that shows a user the proofs they need to Review even if they are not an approver. The Document Version report needs to have a filter that will show users the proofs they are on as a Reviewer. This is a big gap that is still causing significant confusion and head shaking among my users. Thanks! Steve Steven Hirsch The Estee Lauder Companies Inc

https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028755733-Pinned-UpdatesWorkfront We had an idea of "pinned updates" in a projects update stream. Our creative team users don't have access to edit the Project Details/Description and can get key information from stakeholder meetings that get lost down the stream as the project progresses. The idea is to be similar to Twitter, where you can "Pin an update" to the top of the update stream. For example, this could be a change in scope with the deliverable being created. Please vote if you like the idea! Justin Enzor Insperity

Hi, another Idea for you all to upvote: "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360004641114-Add-workdays-as-a-date-based-wildcard">Add workdays as a date-based wildcard . You currently can filter only on calendar days. So, if you're trying to report on projects that are due in 1-3 business days, for example, you have to include a prompt that asks you "what day is it?" so that your filter can account for intervening weekend days. Which is not ideal if you are building a dashboard for executives ("Really? The system doesn't know what day of the week it is?"). Please upvote--thanks! ~Eric Eric Manning Language Line Translation Solutions

Would anyone else be interested in Custom Form Fields that are lists/collections? In other words, instead of forcing users to enter a list of related information into a paragraph text, let them actually enter it in as a collection that can reported on and displayed as such. https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360027830293-New-List-option-for-single-line-...

Hi Sean, I agree...so much, in fact, that we created: our "http://store.atappstore.com/product/ubergantt/">UberGantt Solution, which can draw such date ranges from special tasks within the project intended to highlight such promotion/event dates (and can be configured to also show those along side the production dates), and our "http://store.atappstore.com/product/pdfcalendar/">PDF Calendar highlights the due dates of particular tasks in a standard calendar layout, and now our new "http://store.atappstore.com/product/editorial-calendar/">Editorial Calendar is a hybrid between the two, laid out like a Gantt Chart, but showing the text of the tasks of interest (in whatever "channel color" you wish) in the column that represents its planned completion date (see example, below) I invite you to look at each of them, and would be interested to know which seems like the best fit, in your case.

Hi Everyone, Please upvote, I know there has to be more than 3 of us who are frustrated that the people list defaults to only 100. I hate to have to continually select all and then reselect it each time I go back to the list. https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360002034913-Improvement-for-default-number-o... Workfront fixed this for projects but why not ALL lists throughout the system? As soon as grouping or filters are applied the list should automatically default to "show all" Aileen Taylor Cell Signaling Technology

Hi Aileen, Just presenting a contrasting perspective here: I see you have 235 users in your People list. We have over 1700 users so far and if my list defaulted to all users it would take much longer to load my list, especially if I have a default grouping selected. When there is a default of 100 users, my list loads very quickly and then I can decide if I need to see All Users or some other subset. Usually I just need to hit "New Person" and create a new user and I would prefer not to wait for my full user list to load before I can do that. I would need to reselect 'All' or reselect 100 users or some other filter one way or another every time I load my People list in as I usually need to see different sets of people every time I load my people list.

Both positions are understandable, what Aileen wants is a setup area preference. Maybe it could be a personal level preference as we have for the email notifications. I guess the majority of the users may not have access to the full database so for them each LP can contain anyway a controllable and quickly loadable volume. I also bumped in my people blaming the UI that they haven't noticed there are more pages of the list. Why not, if that improves the user adoption? BR, Imre Magyar VODAFONE Group

Hi Steve, 1700 users! Holy cow you are a Workfront rock star, I'm barely keeping a handle on my few people. Good point about the long load time, I don't mind it loading only 100 when the list first comes up and the groups are off but as soon as I group I want to see everyone/item in that group, grouped together. Ideally, I just want my view selections to be sticky. When grouped with 100 I have only 14 people in my HQ group which gives me a small heart attack. And yes I could group and then sort by that group but it still will break the groups up so I could have only 2 in the HQ group on page 2 and 29 on page 3. But I just want to set my view and forget it not have to group and regroup each time. Aileen Taylor Cell Signaling Technology0690z000007ZhfiAAC.png
