New Workfront Home Page - Please Fix Before Forcing it on US!

Is there anyone I can speak to about the forced roll out of the new Workfront Home Page that is coming? 

 

Please, please do not remove the functionality of the current Worklist.  It is necessary for any project manager that is properly using Workfront to do their job.  It is a simple listing of tasks and proofs that are in chrono order BY DEADLINE.  Late items are red.  The new page has this separated, so harder to cross check tasks to proofs to see what is missing. 

 

The Awaiting my Approval is not even usable.  It lists items in order of date added,  not by DEADLINE.  Who cares when they were added?  This is insane. To see when each item is due so I know what to work on, I have to click on each one, open proof (which takes forever), then click on Workflow.  So instead of using my eyeballs and reading deadlines in the Worklist, I have multiple clicks.  And when I open the proofs from Awaiting My Approval sometimes they open, sometimes the Overview page opens, sometimes I get an error.  (people are going to be angry!) What currently takes seconds to use now takes a very long time.  Huge step backwards.

 

If you MUST force this on your customers, please add a widget that is the exact same view as current Worklist. Begging!  At least this will keep current power users happy.

    This. So much this.

    When we were told to move from Classic to the 'New Home Experience' we had months - actually I think it was almost two years. 

    Doing this in 6-8 weeks while the workspace is un-usable for most is insane. 

    @shannonan1 I would suggest you build out a dashboard that follows the same logic/functionality as the current worklist. At least you'll have something that works.

      I don't have any knowledge or admin rights to build a custom dashboard.  One of many users in a corp.  I am at the mercy of the existing widgets.  If they would just make the current Worklist a widget, then problem solved.  Would avoid everyone making custom workarounds.  If anyone has something they can share or a how to, please share!

       

      Bottom line....Why aggravate the client by removing functionality that works.  It makes no sense to post proofs in order of when added. Should be in order of deadline with deadline shown so we know at a glance what to work on. I typically have over 200 jobs rolling at. one time and 3 proof rounds each.  So we are talking ~600 proofs in action.  I will no longer be able to see what is late, what is due today, what is due out in future for planning, etc. without opening each one and making notes.

        @jerflo Can Workfront begin offering some solutions to the real problems that admins are seeing? What Proof reporting options can be shared to help stopgap missing functionality?

          Thank you for your feedback. We have a much-improved Worklist, called Priorities, that will be launched alongside the deprecation of legacy Home. It has been designed to address many of the concerns you've mentioned, with features like an enhanced details page and a contextual side summary for a quick overview of essential information. Your detailed feedback is incredibly helpful as it highlights what's most important to you and your users.

            Is there any documentation on the new Priorities worklist? Maybe I missed it, but I don't see anything about the new Priorities worklist on the Q4 release page. When will Priorities be available in Preview?

              Thanks, @jerflo ! Can't wait to get my hands on this! I see a "Columns" button – will there be an option to add a "Can Start" column?


              Hi Jen - thanks for your excitement!  We have some great things planned. Column picker is on our roadmap (as mentioned above).
