Problem: Currently, if someone comments on a proof, other users on the task will receive a proof comment notification via Workfront and email, if email notifications are turned on. This is very annoying for a user. For example, if 20 comments are left on the proof, the other user will receive 20 emails. The only way to not receive this notification is to turn off updates/comments in the user settings; there is not something directly related to proof comments/updates. Solution: There should be an ability to turn off notifications or create a daily digest for proof comments in the Workfront notification settings.
As of right now, only those with Workfront licenses will display as an “approver” on the Proof Approval report. In our department, we send proofs to external users for review and approval and as of right now there isn’t a way to track the proof approval process (decisions, last update, etc.) on those proofs that are sent to external users. Currently, there is only the email notification that our Workfront users get when a decision has been made.
Hi there, I am hoping this enhancement request can somehow be implemented in Workfront. At the moment when you make a comment in the Proofing Tool of a document, click save, and then delete the comment for one reason or another (you wrote the wrong thing, someone verbally stetted it, you missed a meeting where client direction changed, etc.), the comment STILL EXISTS in the Updates tab of said document. You have to manually delete the comment you wrote within the Updates tab (and that’s only if you have admin rights, I think). I would love it if when you deleted a comment in the proofing tool, it would auto-delete in the Updates tab of the document itself. Maybe a toggle could be added to a future release of Workfront that would allow users to have updates deleted from the Updates steam when a proof comment is deleted? Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Sara Enloe
In Workfront you have Document Approval and Proof Approval then you have the standalone ProofHQ. WF Proof Approval and ProofHQ are similar if not identical in functionality. WF Document Approval seems to be a step-child and causes confusion with plan users. Can the three be combined into one proofing system.
Proof comments do not carry over when a Request (Issue) is converted to a Project. The comments still show up in the Document Updates, but the proof is empty-- it would be great to have these still show up within the Project Proof comments.
We would like a new email and in-app notification for project owners to notify them when the approval status of a document changes in a project they own. This way they will know when the requester has approved a document.
Number type field does not take more than one comma while inputting, for example: when inputting 1,300,000,000, the field only takes the value as 1300000,000. It would be nice to be able to input more than one comma as it would be more intuitive to the users.
Description - Ability to add all fields from a custom form at once to create the view.Why is this feature important to you - When adding many fields this would be a quick way to add them in the order they appear on the How would you like the feature to work - Use the field label as the column headerCurrent Behaviour - Must add fields one by one or use an existing view
Description -Why is this feature important to you - As the system admin, sometimes there is an urgent issue that needs a support ticket, but it is an issue I can delegate to another user to help support. It would be great if I could tag them in the ticket, and any response/communication would include the person who was tagged, so they could help manage the support.How would you like the feature to work - Just an area to tag/enter email/contact info for the person you would like to be kept on copyCurrent Behaviour - any responses back, on a support ticket, comes directly to me as the admin and the person who created the ticket. Sometimes the ticket is urgent, but I don't have time to focus on it, therefore the ability to delegate/tag someone else for help would be great.
Description - Ability to upload doc in Updates section but choose which document folder it needs to be stored in. This will create a link from the updates tab to documents in case you wanted to quickly view it from the updates tab and it will still be housed in the documents section.Why is this feature important to you - this will give everyone a place to make comments and upload the document in one section, saving the team time.How would you like the feature to work - you would make a comment in the updates section and then choose to upload a file with a drop down to the specific folder you want it housed.Current Behaviour - only PNG's and JPEG are allowed to be uploaded into the updates tab, no PDF's Thank you!
Description - Updates Tab - Subject Line NeededWhy is this feature important to you - the updates tab is very messy with threads without subject lines, it would be very beneficial to have more thread like conversations with subject lines.How would you like the feature to work - same as it does today but allow for subject lines for easier tracking/searching conversations.Current Behaviour - updates do not give a subject line feature.
When task dependencies are set to "as soon as possible" and when a task finishes early, i.e. is set to 100% before planned completion date, the succeeding task is not moved forward to start right after that but stays on the previously "planned start date". In our opinion the succeeding task should be moved forward, when the previous task finishes early. This is why the task relation is set to "as soon as possible".
Currently there are the following 2 options within the segment builder:Only Before SequenceOnly After Sequence (which actually seems include the sequence itself as well)Although these are a welcome improvement they don't allow enough flexibility to really be able to drive the maximum value out of the solution (which means we don't use it as much as we should).I would like to see the 2 options replaced with the following 5 option:Before the sequence (excluding the sequence itself)Before the sequence (including the sequence itself)The sequence (everything between the start and end of the sequence)After the sequence (excluding the sequence itself)After the sequence (including the sequence itself)I think these would be a logic and useful extension of the existing functionality which would significantly increase the value of the capability - please can this be considered?
Description -Why is this feature important to you - Some objects do not have the ability to attach custom forms to them. For e,g, Timesheets. Hence, we need to use Calculated column in our reports in this case for custom calculations. But these custom columns are not referencable in charts. We need to be able to view charts for custom calculations such as "Utilization %" for different groups and time. How would you like the feature to work - Calculated Columns can get used to group the reports and can also be used in Charts to group/summarize data.Current Behaviour - Some objects do not have the ability to attach custom forms to them. For e,g, Timesheets. Hence, we need to use Calculated column in our reports in this case for custom calculations. But these custom columns are not referencable in charts.
This pertains to the Adobe Analytics October 4, 2023 Release pertaining to Segment Manager and Calculated Metrics Manager - New Columns The following new columns are now available when managing components:Used in: This column is available in the Calculated metrics manager and the Segments manager.Last used: This column is available in the Calculated metrics manager, the Segments manager, and the Alerts manager.This information can help you determine whether a component is valuable to users in your organization, where it is used, and if it needs to be deleted or modified. You can use the Data Dictionary along with this information to help you keep track of and better understand how components are being used in your organization. Thank you, and how awesome is that! I absolutely agree that this has huge benefits when it comes to Segment Management – Plan, Build, Tag, Approve, Apply, Share, Filter, Favorite, Rename, Delete, Publish, etc., helps with governance, set up of organizational best practices, standardization, strategy - all essential for effective management.The same goes for Calculated Metric Management. Non-admins would greatly benefit from access to Used In and Last Used Columns.This however has been made available strictly to the product admins. Imagine all the insights the non-admin users who are Analysts in our Chief Data & Analytics Office and Marketing teams can gain from this and the benefits. For the most part we can all agree that the non-admin data and business analysts are our frequent flyers and much of their insights and input is what help effective management. Enhancement Requested:As a System and Product Admin, I would like to submit a feature enhancement which releases the Used In and Last Used Columns for both Segment and Calculated Metric to our non-admin users. Only Admins should be allowed actions such as Approve, Rename, Delete, Publish for governance, risk management and control purposes. Acceptance Criteria:Non-admins, who are our frequent users, have access to Used In and Last Used columns because the quick insights they will gather is most helpful. Thanks - Mary Daniel/Vanguard
Description - Project Metrics show a graph and summary of tasks that are complete, delayed, in progress, etc. It would be better if the administrator or the Project owner had an option to customize it so that we can share it with our clients with more informationWhy is this feature important to you - So that it would be beneficial to use it in reporting aside from using our own dashboardHow would you like the feature to work - Option to change the color of the bars, change the columns that we can see when we click on the bar, add more important stats.Current Behaviour -As per above.
Description - Allow paragraph returns in the new commenting feature within the Updates tab. Why is this feature important to you - We use a column in our reports for Status Updates. This allows us to identify WINS, TO-DOs, STUCKS/IMPACTS and DECISIONS. We can't use paragraph returns, bullet points, or numbered items, in the descriptions of the project Status Update.How would you like the feature to work - This feature currently works if you turn off the Commenting within the Updates. Allow the same formatting to work in the new Commenting feature. This will allow the use of paragraph returns, bullet points, or numbered items, in the descriptions of the project Status Update.Current Behavior - Currently, in the new commenting feature within the Updates tab, the formatting does not allow the use of paragraph returns, bullet points, or numbered items, in the descriptions of the project Status Update.
Description - It would be great if the Kanban Team board was searchable. Currently there is a filter by assignee, but it would be great if one could search by project or task name or reference# Why is this feature important to you - Our creative team often has discussions based on 1 specific project. During this meeting, it would be beneficial to search or filter on just that project to see where the various stories are in the process.How would you like the feature to work - Have the search feature at the top of the Kanban board like it is in other sections of Workfront. Current Behaviour - Can only filter by assignee right now.
Description - Today I learned (TIL) that there is a character limit on the description field for a Job Role. I can live with the character limit, however when I first ran into it, Workfront didn't deliver a clear message describing that there was a limit.Why is this feature important to you - The world is a happier place with clear error messages. It's frustrating when you receive little to no guidance on what went wrong or how to fix it.How would you like the feature to work - Apply a popup message that says something like, "Your description cannot be more than x characters."Current Behaviour - When editing the description of a job role in-line and you reach the character limit, the only indication that you have done anything wrong is a read line around the box with a tiny red exclamation mark (see screenshot). When editing the description of a job role in the Edit form, then try to save your changes, you receive a more clear error popup (see second screenshot).
Description - Create project interdependencies through tasks without deleting the tasks Why is this feature important to you - A proper solution would avoid redundant issue creations and demonstrate relationships between projects better. It may also provide ability to visualize dependencies in an easy to understand way. How would you like the feature to work - The task not be deleted from the task list after its conversion to a project, or create the ability to relate a task to a project. Current Behaviour - The only means to create relationships is through issues. When a task is converted to a project, the task is deleted from the task list.
