Dashboards - Create Widgets with Natural Language

Available on Business and Enterprise accounts with Generative AI enabled

Widget Generator is a new way to build Dashboard widgets using natural language. Just type what you want to see, and AI will instantly create a ready-to-use widget for you.

What’s new?

  • Supports all chart types, KPI, and pivot table widgets

  • Choose from all available metrics, dimensions, and popular filters (dates, status, status group, assignee, author)

  • No need for complex configurations - just describe your insights

Please note: Custom field filters are not yet supported.

Dashboards - New Filters (General Release)

Available on Team and above plans

New Filters in Dashboards are now available to all users. These advanced filtering options, previously in Wrike Labs, can now be used by everyone.

What’s new?

  • Relative Date Filters (next 14 days, last 2 months)

  • Enhanced status filtering lets you search for or select statuses across workflows

  • Negative filtering, filter by name, files, parent filters, calculated custom fields, filter groups, AND/OR logic (all in table widgets)

Please note:

  • The “try new filters” button sets new filters as default, but you can switch back to classic filters anytime

  • Filters apply to both tasks and projects - use Item type to narrow your scope

  • Charts do not yet support all filters, and some fields can’t be auto-converted from classic to new filters

  • Both classic and new filters will coexist, so you can choose your preferred experience

Dashboards - User and Capacity Metrics Improvements

Available on Team and above plans

User and capacity metrics in Dashboards have been updated for greater accuracy and consistency.

What’s new?

  • The User count metric now shows all users, regardless of the selected folder as a data source (add user filters as needed)

  • The Capacity metric now shows the capacity of all users, regardless of folder selection

  • The following metrics are now defined as formulas:

    • availableTimeHours = capacity - effort

    • plannedUtilisation = effort / capacity

    • actualUtilisation = 100 × time spent / capacity

    • availability = 100 − 100 × time spent / capacity

  • Pivot tables for effort, capacity, and planned utilisation now provide consistent results

Please note: Widgets using these metrics require user and date filters for meaningful results.

Automation - AI Creation of Automation Rules (Wrike Labs)

Available on Business and above plans

Our latest Wrike Labs update introduces AI-powered rule creation that makes automation accessible to everyone. Simply describe what you want to automate in plain language, and the AI will generate a ready-to-use rule, recommend the best template, and pre-fill the necessary fields so you can launch automations faster.

What’s new?

  • AI now extracts prompt arguments to create more complete, tailored automation rules.

  • AI‑generated templates tagged Made by AI for easy identification.

  • AI‑surfaced templates moved to the Recommended section, tagged Recommended by AI.

  • Search now clearly highlights relevant ready‑made templates for easier discovery.

Spaces - Custom Space Templates (Wrike Labs)

Available in Wrike Labs

Custom Space Templates are now available in Wrike Labs, making it easier to set up your next project or team.

What’s New:

  • Create Space Templates (up to 5 Spaces per template)

  • Account-level configurations (Custom Fields, Workflows, CITs) are reused - no duplicates or admin clutter

  • All space-level configurations are copied into each new space from a template

  • Owners and admins can create, manage, and oversee all templates in the account

Set Home for User Groups

Available on Business and above plans

Admins can now assign and configure a home Dashboard at the user group level, making onboarding and navigation more consistent for everyone.

How does it work?

  • Set a Dashboard as home for a user group via Settings > Users > Group Settings

  • New group members (without a home page) automatically get the assigned home

  • Existing users in the group also receive the group home if they don’t already have one

  • Changing the group’s home updates it for all users who were using the previous group home

See our Help Center article for more details.

  • Checklists are pinned to the sidebar for easy discoverability.

This is available to all new invited collaborator users (Business and higher accounts) to help them learn and onboard with Wrike faster.
