Improve Anomaly Detection UIDelivered

I am loving Anomaly Detection and Contribution Analysis. As a feature this is such a helpful thing to have, and I know we'll engage with it often. However, I've noticed there are a few hiccups / usability issues that could improve use of the tool:  Sometimes I can't click an anomaly in the timeline and have it show below, and it's not entirely clear whyWhen I open up the Analysis Queue (which is a little hard to see, honestly), the middle anomaly detection report is only partially fluid to that menu, so although the graphs change in scale, the date-range selector gets partially covered. I think that could get simplified to a single calendar icon so it all fits on-screen (1280 width here)When there are no anomalies found, I would really like to see that metric/those metrics trended so I can validate for myself / check if I should be more sensitive witih my training period. I realize that doesn't fit with the current user flow (see anomaly, click, then see metric trended with anomalies.) However, when looking at a metric that gets counted millions of times a month and certainly has inorganic shifts, it's hard to believe when only an error message is returned and no data. Then I need to pop over into a metric report to observe highs and lows, and ruin my flow. In contribution analysis, I really wish I could rename completed reports to something else, as I have to hover and peck to find ones that have already been completed (and, if I change my dimension criteria but look at an anomaly on the same metric and same day, it's impossible to tell them apart.)Sometimes I hover over an anomaly in the timeline and its caption shifts to the left or right (but it always looks like the caption is pointing to the right)I would REALLY love to use calculated metrics in here! This is a great start, but calculated metrics are where you really see shifts in behavior.  Overall, though, I am very happy! Please continue to work on tools like this, that bring faster insight out of our data!

Budgeted Hours usable without active users, not removed when user role changesNew

Currently, there are two big issues with how budgeted hours work (besides the lack of reporting).Resource budgeting tools in Workfront do not let you budget for a role when there's not an active user in itIf you budget for a role but the active user in the role changes roles later the system deletes those budgeted hours.Both of these are problems. In #1, most companies have a role that they probably need to budget for in properly planning a project BUT that role is in the process of being hired for. This removes the ability to plan until the hire is made. Not all companies may follow this same path so can we create an option within the resource pools that allows for roles that do not have an active user and that are not currently deactivated roles.In #2, the tool has a major design flaw. When budgeting for a role, there's something happening on the backend that apparently is tying this to a user. If the user who had that role gets deactivated for changes to a completely different job role, the budgeted hours that were entered are removed from the system. It doesn't matter if other users were created later and assigned that same job role. The system is currently removing those budgeted hours regardless. This makes no sense and seems to be a pretty big flaw that needs to be fixed. Example: On Monday, I have 1 user in "Role A" and I set 10 budgeted hours on "Role A" on a project. On Tuesday, I add another user and I also give them "Role A." I then remove the role from the first user (or deactivate the user). Budgeted hours get deleted. It didn't matter that I already have a 2nd user with "Role A."
