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

Hi Everyone, I would like to ask to upvote this as I found an anomaly. In nutshell WF allows logging hours against parent taks while it's not possible on Planned. This creates a serious inconsistency because if a user is assigned to both, the hours logged to parent Tasks don't count in Resource Planner while the Planned will by design. To ensure all logged are captured in the planner and to keep consistency between planned and logged hours my suggestion here is to either disable logging hours to parent tasks and make them calculated similarly to the Planned hours or countthem in the Planner: https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W7vAAE/detail ImreMagyar VODAFONE Group

Please upvote https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W8PAAU/detail If we're typing a new update, then want to jump down to the notify box we used to be able to hit tab and jump straight into that box and begin typing a name. But now if we're typing an update and hit tab, it goes to the text formatting buttons, and we have to tab through all of those before it moves on to the Notify box. I questioned whether this is working as designed with support and received the following response: " I've heard back from the product team that works in this area of the product. They informed me that the behavior with the tab key is a side-effect of some recent enhancements made to the updates feed. At this time, the team is considering this to be working as designed, but they did mention that they are still in the process of updating and auditing this area of the product. So although this is the current functionality, we may see the tab ordering change in the near future." Just seems counter-intuitive and inefficient. Our project managers use the Notify box a lot and find it frustrating.

Unless I'm missing something, it seems pretty crazy that I can't sort a Chart or Matrix report by the total . Please up-vote this! https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W7gAAE/detail Sean

We'd love more "repeat" options for setting up repeating report deliveries. We have reports that we set up to send daily for a short period of time each quarter. We'd like to be able to select "Weekday" instead of daily, our users don't generally need these reports over the weekend. Also, to expand on that, it would be amazing to be able to set up a repeating deliver for example, every weekday, for 2 weeks, beginning the 3rd week of each quarter -- this one may be a bit of a stretch request, but a dreamer can dream! https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W69AAE/detail

Just had a user come to me with a pretty simple problem that I had trouble trying to come up with a simple answer. She has some overdue tasks and wanted them to populate on her timesheet. She knows if she logs time to them it will then be there for future days that week, and I showed her how to pin them so it's there until she unpins. I also showed her how to search and add tasks but that isn't the cleanest/easiest user experience. The idea I had seemed simple and was surprised it wasn't in the Idea Exchange. I want an "Add to Timesheet" button on Projects, Tasks, and Issues so while you are in the object you can just send it to your timesheet from there. Bonus if you can bulk add from a report list. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W51AAE/detail Another good timesheet idea I saw that was close was improving the search area to prepopulate with your assigned opened tasks https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PShAAAW/detail Monique Evans Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.

Default values for report prompts would make life easier for many people who run reports. If you think it's a good idea, please consider up-voting: https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W4IAAU/detail Sean

Hello, Please vote for my suggestion to add approvals to the personal time off calendar . "https://vimeo.com/352816307/c9988ec54c" This update is a step in the right direction, but we really need approvals built into this before we can use it. Linnie Ciepielowski Esri

Hi, May I ask for your votes for this one, we badly need some more filter options on the Kanban board, currently it's only by Team members, but we could potentially have by: Project (this is the most important right now for us) Assignment Priority Role Project condition https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W06AAE/detail Imre Imre Magyar VODAFONE Group

Hello All, Just wanted to post some ideas around proofing (proofing, lock stages, reporting) that we thought would be useful. Would apprecitate an up-vote. Project Filter Status on Proof Approval Report We would like to see a project status filter added to the Proof Approval reporting filters. We achieve a similar result by using the EXISTS statement but would like to see an actual filter added to the report for easier filtering for more users. External Users on Proof Approval Report As of right now, only those with Workfront licenses can be seen in the "Approver" column on the Proof Approval Report. We send proofs to external partners and would like to be able to track the status of the proof on a report. Therefore, we need the ability to see external users on the Proof Approval Reports. Locking Stages on Proofs Currently, a stage will lock when a decision has been made. We would like to see the stage lock when only a decision of "Approved" has been made. This will allow our designers/copywriters and reviewers to still make comments/resolve comments when a decision of "Changes Required" has been made since the stage won't lock. When the stage locks on any decision it takes away some of the collaboration that could be happening in Workfront within the proof. Thanks! Jessie Dantin Mercy Health
