New Home: Bring back Recent Updates

Is there an update on when this is planned for?

I second this idea so long as it is user configurable. For me, this is just noise that I love not having on the page. But it's also very useful for many users.

Give us a toggle option to have this on or off and that will be perfect, I think.

Agree - we would like it back

YES. We agree with this 100%.

Everyone has been complaining of not seeing "recent upates" / "weekly calendar overview".

Maybe reducing the task description screen, which is way too big, would allow the recent update column to be added back to the left?

I agree, bring it back. I hate it when I'm given a "new and improved" product that doesn't even have the features of the "old obsolete" product. It's infuriating and I don't understand why companies purposely make their product worse...

Hi @Emma,

For me, I created a new Dashboard. It opens a window with three columns: the left most is where you name the dashboard and put in a description, the middle lists the reports and calendars that you can add to the dashboard, and the right column lets you select the layout and see the positioning of the reports and calendars you've added.

At the bottom of this right-most column there is a little text link that says "+ Add External Page". When you click it, it requests a name (I just named it "My Updates"), description and URL. For the URL, I entered "https://<clientDomain>.my.workfront.com/myUpdates" (but substitute your company's domain for the <clientDomain> part). I left the height at 500.

The result is the My Updates page is a window within the dashboard. It's not ideal... If you click one of the header links in the window instead of the top of your browser, it opens that link in the window, and that can get confusing. But if you just scroll down to see My Updates, you can at least get them in the same screen as whatever other reports are useful to you.

Hope that helps!

Please consider making this a toggle option and not "always-on". My teams have commented that they prefer Home without all the recent updates.

Agreed!! We need this back. Our team doesn't like living out of their inbox so this feature is crucial.

@David and @Adina - how did you add this to a dashboard? I cant open the url and when I try to add it to my personal workfront url it also doesnt work. Would love any tips on how we can create this view for our team.

Thank you! :)

Agreed! I've lost a quick reference to items I've assigned to other people that are being worked on, or items I am collaborating on but not assigned to.

@Adina - thanks for the /myUpdates tip. Very helpful!
