๐ข Releases: Workflow Metrics, Hide "More fields", Datahub Enhancements and more! (03/24/2025)
Feature Updates
- Dashboards - Workflow Metricsย ๐
Workflow metrics provide insights into work history by showing how long tasks and projects remain in specific statuses. This information helps identify efficiencies and areas for improvement across projects, assignees, or item types, enabling better-informed decision-making.
ย
Whatโs Included ๐ ๏ธ
-New metrics: Total, Max, and Average time spent in each status.
- Status changes tracking.
- New filters and dimensions for better data slicing.
- Three new templates: Interrupted Workflows, Average Status Times, and Total Time Active.
ย
- Custom Item Types: Hide "More fields" ๐ฝ
Say goodbye to manually hiding inherited custom fields in your Custom Item Types (CIT)!ย
ย
Account and space admins can now completely hide all location-based custom fields, ensuring that only the fields defined by your CIT are visible, without the clutter of the "More Fields" section.ย
Please note, this section is visible by default, and it can be adjusted.
- Datahub: Formulas for Enhanced Calculations ๐
Datahub now supports formula fields within databases, utilizing Wrike's familiar formula syntax and functionality for consistent, powerful data computation.
ย
Capabilities with Formulas:
- Automatically calculate equipment utilization metrics
- Track vendor performance scores
- Compute service delivery metrics without spreadsheets
ย
Here are some implementation examples:
- Manufacturing: Calculate maintenance-to-replacement cost ratios.
- Professional Services: Compute service profitability metrics.
- Marketing: Generate asset completion percentages based on task status
- Datahub: Datahub Fields in Wrike Analyze ๐
Datahub information can now be included in Wrike Analyze reports, facilitating comprehensive data-driven insights.
ย
Capabilities:
- Build reports with Datahub link fields.
- Display mirror field values as text in reports.
ย
This integration empowers new reporting scenarios, such as grouping tasks by client categories and analyzing projects by equipment types using centralized Datahub data.
- Slack Integration: Inbox Notifications Re-enabled ๐
Earlier this February, Slack inbox notifications were sunsetted. After evaluating user interest, this feature has been re-enabled, allowing users to receive Inbox notifications via Slack once again.

The new status time tracking features in the dashboard is excellent!ย I've always wanted to track the statuses of projects.ย Is there a way to configure a stacked chart that shows each project and its duration in each status?ย I tried "Reporting on" Projects but I cannot select it to group by the Project.ย Project shows up when you report on tasks.
Hi Chris,
Product Manager for Analytics here. I tried your configuration and indeed this piece is missing. However we are seeing the need to analyze project data when reporting on projects - and not the data within - more and more often.
So while this is a data model limitation, we will try to address the need in the coming months.
Best,
Michael
