[Launched! ๐] Add Exclusions to Filters and Dashboards
Mostrada
Wrike filters allow for a lot of customization, but I think they're missing a key feature: exclusions.ย
For example, on my dashboard "Tasks by Due Date," I have a widget called "Priority Today." The applied filters are: All Active, TO: Current user, Tasks to Do: Today. However, I would also like to have a widget on the same dashboard that is just the tasks DUE today. (The "Tasks to Do" filter includes any task that falls on that day. The "Due Date" filter is just tasks that END on that day.)
If I set both of these widgets up, certain tasks will appear in both widgets. It would be nice to tell one widget to not include any tasks that appear on another widget that I specify.
The same is true if you have a dashboard with widgets for tasks to do today, this week and this month.ย
Exclusions would also be useful for folders. What if I want to see everything I have to work on EXCEPT for tasks in ONE folder? It makes more sense to me to be able to exclude that folder, rather than setting up reports/calendars/dashboards for every single folder except that one.
Thank you Jaron Thompson.
Ever since these new features have been flowing along heavily, I've been wondering the EXACT same thing.
Seems like an easy no-brainer to me!
Don't reports matter to most who use Wrike, who are answering to constituents about their projects, need this tiny little feature????
Jaron Thompson Catherine Wetzel Thanks for supporting this! If you share with your colleagues who also use Wrike, they can upvote the post so that it gains more traction. The upvotes determine which features the product team prioritizes!
Thank you for explaining about the votes, Anna Wallace ๐
And thank you for your continuous interest here! As we're approaching the 60 votes threshold, I've already asked our team for an update and the future status here ๐

I am only asking that one can exclude a field from a report. Nothing more!
Hi everyone! I have an update for you in relation to this suggestion: our team has now started researching filter suggestions for Wrike, and I've added the status here that reflects that. We'll keep you posted on how the research goes ๐

Being able to exclude tasks from a dashboard based on the folder or project that they're in would be very helpful! I've upvoted the original post.
Thank you Emily McQuarrie ๐

Being able to exclude, especially in dashboard filters, would be amazing! I see this is in investigation! Do we have any updates?
Are there any updates on the investigation of this feature, Lisa?
It drives my team insane whenever we have to add a new status. Because widgets are inclusive only, we have to manually update every. single. widget across every dashboard this impacts. The ability to exclude irrelevant statuses would entirely remove the upkeep whenever, say, the number of active-type statuses increases. There are countless other ways we'd want to exclude criteria from dashboard widgets.
Moreover, even the include options are also lacking. Why is it that I can't choose "all active" statuses from a specific workflow? It's either "All active" for all workflows, or manually going into workflows and clicking dozens of active statuses per widget (and desperately hope that we don't add a new one). It's ridiculous. I should be able to say, "exclude all of these workflows and statuses" so anything new we add doesn't require dashboard maintenance. This level of monotony required us to dedicate one person internally for handling dashboards because we have to make a mountain out of a molehill for a simple request like, "Can we get X status added to our dashboards?"ย
A request like this suddenly incurs hours of work for our dashboard guy who has to clear a big chunk of time to make this happen.ย
8 years since this request opened. It took 7 to get moving.ย
Now that it's been 1 year since they've been "researching" filter suggestions for Wrike, could we get an update here or do we need to wait for another 5?
I'm sure they'll look into it after they push through another UX revamp that no one asked for.
Adding my two cents that we need this option.

Happy to find this thread. Sad to realize it's four years old without resolution. Following along in hopes that Wrike adds this feature, which is desperately needed.ย
Hi John Yarbrough! The release of New Filters with improved filtering capabilities (including exceptions) will be available soon. Please keep an eye out for it. ๐
