Someone who does not have a proofing license should be able to delegate their proof approvals while they are on vacation. Please vote on this idea so that it can be considered as an improvement! https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSumAAG/detail Leah Janz Metro Transit

Hi all, we have recently implemented approval processes that are started from a request. In general the functionality works ok. But there are a number of improvements we would like to see happen and I'm hoping to generate some momentum in the idea exchange for these: A active approval process can be reset/ restarted by a change to the global approval process that it was generated from. This causes approvers to have to reapprove. And even if it is approved it causes confusion on the approvals page. Please upvote here: https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000H0ghAAC/detail Example 1: June 3: A number of approvals were completed and the approval had gone through stages 1 & 2, however, 2 approvals were still needed. June 14: I added a approver to stage 1 and modified stage 2- The system asked EVERYONE TO REAPPROVE Example 2: June 6th: Full approval path (Stages 1-3) was completed June 14: I modified the Global Approval path. The Approvals Tab now looks incomplete! Add a due date for approvers for each stage. This feature is available when using a proof approval process, but not a issue. project or task approval. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSUbAAO/detail An alternative to having due dates for approvers is to have a request generate a document approval using Proof. I did not post this idea, but please upvote it: https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PShaAAG/detail We would also like for a status to automatically change once the issue is approved- for example Approval Path = "Submitted" and Status after approved = "Complete". Please upvote this one for consideration https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSUyAAO/detail AND https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PS9yAAG/detail Another option from changing the status post approval is to have a line after the status include "Approved", just like it says "Pending Approval" when the approval is in progress!

This one came up in another discussion today. Currently, auto-generated Workfront reports can only include the Detailed tab; in some cases (for example, reports being sent to executives), you'd rather send the Summary or Chart tab instead. Upvote the following idea for additional functionality regarding auto-generated Workfront reports: >https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSnyAAG/detail ~Eric Eric Manning Language Line Translation Solutions

Hi Tina, My understanding is that the new Workfront Experience will allow that, so maybe there's no need to upvote anymore. :). We got it shown on LEAP. Imi Imre Magyar VODAFONE Group

Hi! I didn't see this in the thread doing a Find. We would like the ability to upload documents via the Home right side panel for tasks. This will allow the task assignee to post a document when the task is not so involved that they need to go to the task landing page. Please let me know if there is another idea out there or if this function is already on the road map. Thanks! This is an older idea I found: https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSqQAAW/detail Tina Huang Optum

I'm requesting for more upvotes for the idea: New Home: Allow project-level documents and updates to display in Home There are many fields at the project level that are allowed to be displayed, but we would like the ability to display documents and updates on the Home that pertain to the project the task belongs to. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSlsAAG/detail We like the big working space but it's irrelevant for our users since we work at a project level, and I'm hoping there are more people who work similarly.

Remove "Work on It" button from new task notification email. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000H0egAAC/detail Having a "Work on It" button in the email causes a lot of confusion from my users when tasks are not ready to start. If they do click the button before the task is ready it causes major project management issues for my project owners. Aileen Taylor Cell Signaling Technology

If you make reports with lots of custom data fields, then you might also find is useful to use HTML inside of a valueexpression property so you can style your view without an erroneous amount of columns all using sharecol=true .

If you'd find the ability of having project templates able to have hot-linked child templates (updating the child template updates it in all parent templates that contain it) useful, then please consider upvoting this idea: https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000H0ddAAC/detail Regards, Sean
