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-of-listed-items-in-a-table 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 Technology

"Shameless plug" discussion; I'm good with that. :) HR Admin vs. SysAdmin "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028785333-HR-Admin">https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028785333-HR-Admin I'm told via a member of our Workfront implementation team that this has been a headache for more than just us, and that their development team is giving this (or something like it) serious consideration. The basic gist is that Workfront straddles a line between Project Management, Billing, and pre-Payroll. It does cost tracking of people, which immediately involves issues like individual user pay rates. This kind of information should not be available to the SysAdmin for privacy reasons (and at some level violates corporate security rules: the "need to know" rule). Conversely, anyone who can see this fiscal information likely has no business having access to all the other SysAdmin configuration stuff because they aren't the "techies." So really Workfront needs an "HR Admin" and then a way to lock-out the SysAdmin from fiscal information. It would mean *someone* probably has to be a master SysAdmin to see both, but they should be able to delegate another level of granularity just below themselves that causes the split between Workfront Admin and HR/Payroll Admin (for lack of a better term). This problem has left me in the awkward position of technically being the primary Workfront admin (on paper), but the HR-like role actually being assigned Administrator and me being assigned to a group called "Workfront Admin." To lock me out of the fiscal stuff means I'm also locked out of a whole bunch of preferences, layouts, etc. Thankfully my manager is still a SysAdmin and is allowed to see everything, but it also means she is stuck doing a long list of admin items that normally I would do as her Associate. Very messy and awkward. Worse, she may be forced to downgrade me before launch (and get stuck finishing-up things on her own) and will definitely have to downgrade me post-launch (and that period is bound to be full of changes). So please upvote if this is affecting you, it'd be appreciated. Kevin Quosig

Hi Everyone, Timesheets have a first column extremely wide and I found very cumbersome to overview a monthly view. Hence this suggestion: "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028975673-Make-work-name-column-responsive-and-pinnable">To make the Work name (Project, Task, Issue) pinnable and resizable Thanks in advance for considering it, Imi Imre Magyar VODAFONE Group

Hi, I believe this is already out there (so please share a link if you have it), but we'd like to build Agile/Kanban type reports for tasks or issues for groups of people. We don't need full Agile functionality (team, backlog, iterations, etc.), but just like the visual. We have a lot of people asking us to build integrations with Microsoft Planner, Monday, or Trello, and the main reason is just for this visual picture of the work.

Please upvote for admins to be able to change the user settings/views via a layout template. Because Time Off is hidden under the More tab its always forgotten by my team, individually moving it up is tedious and a waste of admins time. https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028895194-Add-My-Settings-to-admin-layout-options Aileen Taylor Cell Signaling Technology
