Hi All, There is two ideas that I would like to promote. With the new feature coming of document updates being visible in the projects update stream, it would be great if we could see all task and document updates to be shown at the parent level. We use parent tasks as deliverables and some of the deliverables will have the same time names so can be confusing looking at all updates at the project level. Having all updates show at parent level would be a great way to see all comments made and documents added to any of its children tasks. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000H0ZlAAK/detail https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSLkAAO/detail Vicky Fitzgerald Telegraph Media Group Limited

I want to promote: Autonumber Field (aka Serial Number Generation): >https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSAoAAO/detail Kinda surprised at Workfront's attitude of "well, we had it, but because some other customer didn't like it, we changed it...no tags back." So I upvoted and commented on the chance the attention will cause them to add the feature without taking another feature away as a result. Kevin Quosig

Our designers would like to see a color separation tool in Workfront proof, similar to how it works under the Output Preview in Acrobat. Confirming brand colors before art gets released to the printer would be great to be able to do right in the proof without needing to open Acrobat separately. The shortcoming with on-screen proofing is that many on-screen blues look the same, but print very differently. It doesn't matter if you have a regular monitor or a high end proofing monitor, some colors that look the same on screen look different in print, so there's no way to catch these mistakes visually. Please upvote "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360019413393-Add-Color-Tool-options-">https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360019413393-Add-Color-Tool-options-

I submitted a ticket to Workfront and their response was to put it into the idea exchange. I want to change the individual's notifications and the tabs under their avatar. If you know how to move tabs in the layout templates please let me know and I can pass it on to Workfront support. Aileen Taylor Cell Signaling Technology

This can be changed in Layout templates, you don't need to do it 1 by 1. I hope it helps. Imi Imre Magyar VODAFONE Group

Please upvote for admins to be able to change the user settings/views via a layout template. Because Time Off is hidden under the More tab its always forgotten by my team, individually moving it up is tedious and a waste of admins time. https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028895194-Add-My-Settings-to-admin-layout-options Aileen Taylor Cell Signaling Technology

Hi, I believe this is already out there (so please share a link if you have it), but we'd like to build Agile/Kanban type reports for tasks or issues for groups of people. We don't need full Agile functionality (team, backlog, iterations, etc.), but just like the visual. We have a lot of people asking us to build integrations with Microsoft Planner, Monday, or Trello, and the main reason is just for this visual picture of the work.

Hi Everyone, Timesheets have a first column extremely wide and I found very cumbersome to overview a monthly view. Hence this suggestion: "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028975673-Make-work-name-column-responsive-and-pinnable">To make the Work name (Project, Task, Issue) pinnable and resizable Thanks in advance for considering it, Imi Imre Magyar VODAFONE Group

"Shameless plug" discussion; I'm good with that. :) HR Admin vs. SysAdmin "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028785333-HR-Admin">https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360028785333-HR-Admin I'm told via a member of our Workfront implementation team that this has been a headache for more than just us, and that their development team is giving this (or something like it) serious consideration. The basic gist is that Workfront straddles a line between Project Management, Billing, and pre-Payroll. It does cost tracking of people, which immediately involves issues like individual user pay rates. This kind of information should not be available to the SysAdmin for privacy reasons (and at some level violates corporate security rules: the "need to know" rule). Conversely, anyone who can see this fiscal information likely has no business having access to all the other SysAdmin configuration stuff because they aren't the "techies." So really Workfront needs an "HR Admin" and then a way to lock-out the SysAdmin from fiscal information. It would mean *someone* probably has to be a master SysAdmin to see both, but they should be able to delegate another level of granularity just below themselves that causes the split between Workfront Admin and HR/Payroll Admin (for lack of a better term). This problem has left me in the awkward position of technically being the primary Workfront admin (on paper), but the HR-like role actually being assigned Administrator and me being assigned to a group called "Workfront Admin." To lock me out of the fiscal stuff means I'm also locked out of a whole bunch of preferences, layouts, etc. Thankfully my manager is still a SysAdmin and is allowed to see everything, but it also means she is stuck doing a long list of admin items that normally I would do as her Associate. Very messy and awkward. Worse, she may be forced to downgrade me before launch (and get stuck finishing-up things on her own) and will definitely have to downgrade me post-launch (and that period is bound to be full of changes). So please upvote if this is affecting you, it'd be appreciated. Kevin Quosig
