Option to default view all tasks

My team complains about this constantly as an unnecessary step.

I have the same request in my team here. The complete list of task has to be shown upfront.

Possibly it could be a set up by project? Or in a parent task/collapsed view as proposed by Marc.

I have to agree with Craig. I can't think of a time where I didn't go an load all of the tasks. If you're looking at the project plan/schedule, most people are going to want to see everything.

If the goal is saving bandwidth, would loading it all with everything collapsed help? That's generally the way I start looking, anyway, and then dig down from there.

This would probably save Workfront bandwidth in the long run. I always scroll to the bottom and hit show all. This means that every time I load a project Workfront has to serve the page and the tasks twice. I would bet most users do this as well. While show only 100 might have been done to help server load I bet it has the opposite effect.
