I have a few users who would really love to have stamps in the proofing viewer: "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360027648374-Stamps-in-the-proofing-viewer">https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360027648374-Stamps-in-the-proofing-viewer We have flyer proofs that contain 12-20 products, and some reviewer/approvers are only responsible for some of those products (not all of them), so they want to be able to stamp each product price and photo to indicate they've checked their accuracy (without having to have oodles of markup all tied to a single comment or have to create a multitude of comments).

https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360026607453-More-robust-team-assignment-notifications Our team has shared resources to complete a task and we only need one user to complete the task. We set up our team on the task, but we are coaching our team to have one member claim their task when they receive the summary notification that they are on the activity/project. This way the user that claimed the task can get pinged with an email notification when their step is actually ready to be worked on. Kiersten Kollins DSW Inc.

The recommendation is to add a data visualization tool called DASHBOARD (i.e., data analytics) to the Workfront tool. Please find attached an example of an actual dashboard. What currently (02/17/2019) exists in the Workfront tool is only a "REPORTING" capability where users might pull out a report or more and the system simply display these reports one by one, one under the other, in a sometimes long, long page. Users need to scroll down (around) to see all information, so it is not a dashboard. A dashboard includes the most important information required to achieve one or more objectives that has been consolidated, and fits, on a single computer screen so it can be monitored at a glance. Users should experience a design optimized for their desktop/laptops, tablet, or mobile phone. Importance of Dashboards: 1- Make reporting more efficient for decision makers; 2- Make reading easy (i.e., prevent never-ending pages of multiple reports); 3- Monitor several KPIs and metrics at once, and at a glance; 4- Present real-time information; 5- Provide powerful data analytics and modern interactive data visualizations. Recommended roadmap timeline: Q2 2019. Thank you. Christina Van Braz Scotiabank

"https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360003495794-Deleting-canned-WF-reports?page=1#community_comment_360004053374">https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360003495794-Deleting-canned-WF-reports?page=1#community_comment_360004053374 Please upvote the above idea! Being able to delete the standard Workfront reports that come with the system would be great for us as we are trying to currently get our list of over 400 reports down to a manageable size and only want those left that are of use. Thank you! Vicky Fitzgerald Telegraph Media Group Limited

Hi, I see this thread and have to assume that there is a better way to do this. Does anyone curate the ideas to try to group them together? It would be excellent if there was a weekly report that went out to everyone to show the status of ideas, what is gaining steam and ultimately try socialize them around to everyone.

Make Hyperlink Behavior Consistent Across All Parts of Application https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360026464954-Home-Make-hyperlink-behavior-consistent-across-all-parts-of-application Depending on the part of the application you're in, a hyperlink may open in a new tab or in the same tab, even if it's the same field. In this example, I demonstrate how a link in Home's fields section opens in a new tab, while the same link in other parts (Legacy My Work and the Object page). I used the [Description] field for my example, but this is applicable to the URL field and any other textfield that has a URL. My recommendation is to make the link behavior consistent for all areas of the application. (This is very small, I know, but it's nice for users to experience consistent behavior when they click a field) Vincent Goodwin The Capital Group Companies
