It would be nice to make updates that you choose to be private with other colleagues and that not everyone can see them until you choose for them to.

Thank you for the submission! We think this is a good enhancement to the Workfront platform overall and this product area in particular!

 

Workfront currently prioritizes large-scale, foundational enhancements such as the new Reporting experience and changes to the core data model, so this item does not fit in our near-term roadmap. As such, I am marking this as Declined now, but we'll keep this in our backlog for the improvements for this area so that we can revisit the decision in the future.

We need this to. We work within internal projects. We would need to have a feature where we can share notes that are only visible to one particular team, for various reasons such as QA, technical notes, and questions that are not meant to be seen by any other team.

This would be so helpful! Hoping we can maybe revive this idea? I really like @Andrey Popov's comment from December.

Having more privacy options under the Updates section instead of just the "Private to my Company" being the only option is a LOT more pressing if you use groups instead of companies to represent the org chart in Workfront. We have recently consolidated the majority of our companies into one to allow our group admins to manage accounts of auto-provisioned/unallocated users, however, in doing so we have effectively rendered the private updates feature useless as vast majority of our users are now in the same company. It feels like the update privacy feature could use an update: for example, instead of the trigger say "Private to my Company" it could say "Make this update private", and when tripped, it would reveal several options:

  • private to one or more named users,
  • private to select teams,
  • private to select groups, or
  • private to a user's company

We would really like this. Sometimes there are ideas posted in the update stream, or conversation, that should be captured but not be visible to the internal customer who originally requested the project.

This feature really needs to happen please. We use the updates/document updates like email messages. It would be great to be able to make them private to a group or a team only. There are discussions that need to happen that shouldn't included a client or certain people. It would also be great if after posting an update you could go back into it and make edits. We use updates for notes to update stakeholders. Thx
