I tried to use Dave's approach, but the Analytics view of Conflicts shows the entire account, not just the folder, and not even just the space. This is not really useful. We can't have someone identify who owns which conflicts...

Hi Jean-Pierre Picard, thank you for sharing your feedback, I'm passing it on to the team👍🏼

So WRIKE team work on this bug for 5 years??

Maybe they should start to use some PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE to tell us when it will be done?

Hello Michał Tworek thanks for posting. To summarise shortly, we have guidelines on how we process the product feedback that we receive on Community.

A status is assigned when a thread receives more than 60 upvotes, as per our Product Feedback Guidelines & Statuses. If you’d like to find out more, this article explains what happens after we receive Product feedback. This post is a Product request from a Community member which has been given the status “Backburner”. The ''Backburner'' status means that our Product Team is interested in the idea, but that it isn't on our current roadmap. It will be reviewed during future internal discussions and if anything changes in relation to the status of the suggestion we’ll be sure to let you know here.

Hi! I was just watching the recording of the Collaborate 22 session 'Plan the Work, Work the Plan' (https://wrike.wistia.com/medias/j6xzunrd0v). From the 27th minute, the topic is dashboards and to my surprise, a Conflict Monitor widget is added to the dashboard in the demo. It seems to suggest this widget can work for a selected source within Wrike. But checking this myself, I see it's still the entire account that shows in the widget. If a solution is not on the roadmap, I do not think the dashboard widget should be used in a demo.... 

Hi Karen Reijneveld, conflict monitor still works for the whole account and not for a particular source. Since this is a demo, I believe there weren't many tasks to display in conflict. I will pass on your feedback to our team.

Conflicts monitor and alerts when a new conflict arises are critical to the management of projects. We also have a team of project managers, each with a portfolio of projects. 

In fact, it would be REALLY NICE if a Milestone task would indicate visually if it is involved in a schedule conflict, and have the WrikeBot send a notification.

+1 to fix this

Thank you for your continued feedback here, folks!

+1 from me

Agree, the conflicts monitor widget is literally useless without being able to filter by project/ folder. +1 from me. (I wish I could +100 because I have already told my team we'll be using this tool a lot and now I'm realizing it is not helpful at all since it pulls from every project in the account)

Hi Allison Jack, welcome to the Community. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, I've passed it on to our dedicated team. We will keep you informed in case there are any changes implemented.

Also, I'd like to mention that you can check our New to Community forum to discover all the resources you can find in our Community 🙂

Is this still an issue, or is there a workaround? It is very frustrating not to have a conflicts widget by Folder or Space.

Hi Jackie Woosnam-Savage, welcome to the Community 👋

There is a conflict monitor in Gantt Chart, and you can open a folder or a space in this view. What's not currently possible is customizing it to only show work you're assigned to on it. I hope this helps!

Hello everyone,

I know this task has been open for eternity and I apologize for that. However, there is simply so much to do and we only got here now. Can I ask you for help?

We can adapt the Conflicts Monitor to support folders and relaunch it as such in the New Dashboard. Alternatively, we can aim to add the Gantt Chart. We want to move to the New Dashboards in full and this is our last gap.

However, can you help me understand what would be more useful for you? Personally, I fully agree with this feedback that without filtering it is hardly usable unless your account is really small. Yet, I am not sure if just adding it is the best path forward. Should we not instead add the Gantt?

I will be grateful if you help me understand what works for you and what the industry standard is so we can finally close this chapter somehow.

Best,
Michael,
new PM for Analytics

For us, there's two set of improvements we'd need to be able to monitor conflicts at scale:

1. A way to identify all conflicts matching certain criteria. For example, all conflicts in projects assigned to user X. This would be great in dashboards, and highlighting the milestone that's in conflict so we can jump to it would be great.

2. A way to visualize the source of the conflict in the gantt chart, or alternatively simply highlighting the critical path for a selected task, regardless of the presence of a conflict or not. 

If we had to pick a first one to deliver, for us it would be #1. Troubleshooting a conflict is not super efficient right now, but what I'm worried most about is missing a conflict altogether. 

Happy to jump on a call if you need testers, this is the #1 product gap for my team. 

Thank you, Jean-Pierre Picard. Howeve to get the basics right, would you like to see these additions in the gantt chart or in the conficts monitor widget.

Michael Minovsky #1 would be more useful in a conflict monitor widget. Ideally one that can be used as a Count or as a Table though - seeing how many conflicts we have to fix, and seeing exactly which tasks are in conflict.

#2 would be in the gantt chart view.

Hi Jean-Pierre Picard 👋 thanks for getting back to Michael’s question. I’ll pass your answer along to him 👍
