๐ Releases - New Customization for Request Forms, Custom Fields enhancements, and More! (3/11/2024)
Feature Updates
- Request Forms - Customize Post-Submission Emails for Better Communication! ๐ฅย
- Custom Fields - Unveiling Custom Fields for Users in Wrike Labs ๐ฅ
- You can create custom fields within the Users tab under Account Management, accessible only to account admins. Access the Fields section and then click on the + Custom field to create a new one. Once created, you can add values to the field per user.
ย
- Custom field values can be used as an assignee requirement to identify suitable assignees and can also be shared with certain individuals or groups.
- Existing task fields can be converted to user fields in Account Management > Custom fields. You would only need to open the field settings (by clicking on the field) and check the box Use this field for users.ย
- Assignee Picker Preferences are customizable and can be saved.ย
- Apart from Table view, Board view, and Workload, you can also make use of these fields in request forms and other tools and views where custom fields are supported.
- New Dashboards - New Design Tab For Additional Customization! ๐จ
- You can sort your data by Value (from largest to smallest or vice versa):
ย
- With the Alphabet option, you can change the sorting to alphanumerical and specific if it should be from A-Z or Z-A:
- The Field order allows you to display your data following the intrinsic order of your workflow or custom fields values:
- Lastly, you can change the position of the legend that indicates the data youโre reporting on. By accessing the Legend position option, this information can now be located at the top, bottom, right, left, or even hidden (โNoneโ).

The Design tab is a wonderful addition! I already updated one of my dashboards to get rid of the "Other" option to show all. What a game changer!
I need users to be able to add skills to their own profiles, and ideally anyone to be able to add skills to anyone's profile. Most common use case is that a project manager on a project needs to make sure his team is set up with a correct work schedule, skills in Wrike, and they won't be a platform admin to get access to the admin console. They might be a space admin, but that's it.
Thank you both for your feedback, I'll let our teams know now ๐ย

Julia Berzoy, thank you for sharing your feedback! Our team is currently developing a feature that will allow all users to update fields in their own profiles. We'll keep you posted once it's done.
Also, if I may, I'd like to suggest a potential alternative to allow project managers to update the skills of others. It's now possible to restrict admin permissions granularly. In this case, I would recommend making those managers account admins, but allowing only the "Custom fields for users" permissions - please refer to the attached screenshot. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this!

This functionality is very good, however, a specific functionality that is highly requested, which is to make the fields mandatory, has not yet been implemented. Looking forward to this implementation, as these are features that all competitors have except Wrike.
Thank you for your feedback Felipe Jorge Poรงo!ย

Maria Dudko, unfortunately, not all admin roles are represented on that list and can be "checked off". For example, any admin is able to clear the trash bin. I believe they could also manage space templates. We unfortunately had to discontinue promoting users to admins due to accidental changes in areas they didn't know would impact everyone within the account.
RE: "We're excited to introduce the new Custom fields for usersย feature inย Wrike Labs..."
This is super useful! It would be even more useful if there is a secret API Method for users custom fields that you are willing to share (not seeing anything here).ย
We'd like to store some user manager details here, rather than a lookup table, for project notifications.ย
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us Ian Kizer! I've passed it on to our relevant team ๐
