Revamp Timesheet Section UI

Right now, if you click "Timesheet" in the navigation menu, you will enter your current timesheet by default, but it is not obvious where the rest of the previous timesheets live.

"Back to Timesheets" is not obvious, and the extra step doesn't make a lot of sense if you are a timesheet approver or plan on submitting last week's timesheet on Monday.

Please revamp the interface for the Timesheet area to be more navigable and user friendly.

Timesheets still need more work/upgrades even after the 2022 facelift.

 

1) Add the ability for users to add additional columns/fields.  Ex: I want to see, in a column not the open summary which is a pain, the task's status, planned due date, and custom fields.

2) Add the ability to sort by columns, not just default sort alphabetically by project name.  Or drag and drop the order of tasks/issues.  Why?  Some people have a lot of items assigned to them.  Some go the full duration of the year while others have specific due dates.  Users want to organize their own items.

3) Add the ability to hide tasks and issues that you aren't working on right now

4) Remove the "hour type" column to make room for other user columns.  "Hour type" can be seen by the icon before the task/issue name so this column is redundant.

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.

Agreed. Please make this a more obvious button.

Logging into One.Workfront.com for ideas, it states on the screen "We're listening", but it certainly doesn't seem like it. Darren Harper is exactly correct in that a simple code change to have "Back to Timesheets" make more sense would aid our end users, but in reality it would immensely aid WF Admins. I get calls and tickets all the time of "how do I get to my old time sheet?" WF (Adobe) are you listening now? The changes that have been going on over the last six months to a year have increased workload on end users to a small degree, but greatly increased workload on admins. The simple solution to a problem that Darren has asked for should be put back into the planned status. This is stupid simple and a quick fix to an otherwise poorly thought navigation. We've had WF for going on two years now and I'm wondering if staying with Innotas would have been a better solution. And the latest change to Timesheet filtering now has me creating (and constantly editing) filters where before I just entered what I needed quickly in the left side menu. This may be fine for supervisors, but for admins it's a total time eater. However, on my previous sentence, I've had several employees ticket/call me asking how they get their previous timesheets, so it's not intuitive to a user that only goes into the "Back to Timesheets" once every few weeks or months. They have to learn the filtering all over again.

Hello, while this idea will remain in a "Not Planned" status we do have some valuable Timesheet improvements coming soon. We do have plans to revamp Timesheet entirely, but that won't happen now.

we really need shading on every-other row to make it easier to track from the label at the left to the cells on the right, especially in the "general" area at the bottom. We also would love to be able to configure the display to show Saturday as the first day of the timesheet week.

Timesheets only allow you to enter time at a daily level. Timesheets should support entering time at a weekly or monthly granularity.


Some teams time is tracked on a monthly basis and team members are asked to enter time weekly or monthly depending on their team within CorpNet.


It would be great for timesheets to allow the user to toggle between daily, weekly and monthly time entry options.

Yes - need navigation!

Yes - need every other line to be shaded or something so you can clearly see what row you are in

The new Interface in BETA has even MORE space between the name of the task and the boxes where you put the time-- this needs to be adjustable so you can shrink it down & for god's sake, make it readable with shading, LOL.

Also, how about an automatically populating Overtime box? Anything above 40 automatically goes in there for easy tracking.

UI button placement, navigation without logic and designed-in blank screens are a few of the design features that make time sheets primitive at best.

Agreed. We also have executives who would like to audit timesheets but would never log their time in Workfront. I would like to set their Layout so that by default when they go to Timesheets they get the search, not their own sheet.
