๐ Releases - Template Improvements, New Space Creation Permissions, and Tweaks to User Types (11/01/2021)
Cally Tomlinson
Feature Updates
- ย Work Template Items - Attachments in Stream Open in Proofing
If you click on an attachment in the stream of a work item (such as a task) created from a template, the attachment now opens in proofing ๐จ Previously nothing would happen which was anti-climatic.
- Work Templates - Filtering by Template Available in Board View ๐น
The Template used filter is now available in Board view, so you can filter tasks by their template on the board. Remember ๐ค Work Templates is a Labs feature so it might not be enabled on your account. Account owners and admins can enable it for the entire account.
- Space Creation - New Permissions for Locked Spaces (Enterprise Pinnacle)
Previously: Account admins could choose if space creation should be available only to owners and admins with permission, or regular users too.
Now: Owners and Admins can create all types of spaces by default, account admins can choose if they want to allow regular users to create Private, Public, or Locked spaces.
These changes are available in Account Management settings under Security and are only available for Enterprise Pinnacle users.
It is also possible to restrict space creation by type for admins, but for individuals rather than all admins. This option is in admin permission settings.
- Resources View and Workload Charts- Week Numbers now Shown
Users now see week numbers in Resources view and Workload charts, so if you're counting down to 2022 already ๐, you're in luck.
- User Types - Some Permissions Removed
We've temporarily removed all permissions related to time tracking from user types settings to make them more in line with users' access to time tracking.ย This will only affect a menu available to admins on Enterprise accounts, and we do plan to bring these permissions back at some point.
The removed permissions are:
- Create, edit, and delete time entries for other people
- Create, edit, and delete time entries for themselves
- Edit locked time entries
- View all time entries
Week numbersย ๐๐
Is Enterprise (base plan) the same as the Enterprise legacy plan?ย ๐ถ (I dont have the allocation tool, and I dont think our plan has it, but I want to check).ย
Looking forward to testing the Work Templates out & Week Numbers look great!ย ย โฑ
New Security featuresย ๐๐
Excited to hopefully work with the work templates soon. Week numbers are also a plus!ย โณ๐ ๐
Looking forward to working more with the templates! I see some great opportunities for other parts of our day to day utilizing some of these. We need all the efficiencies we can get! Thanks!ย ๐๐ฉ๐ปโ๏ธ
Week numbers?ย ๐ฑ๐ Week numbers in the Workload section as well ๐ฑ๐๐๐
Thank you for your feedback and reactions here, everyone! ๐ค
Elizabeth Bayerย By allocation tool, do you mean effort allocation? If that's what you mean, it's available on Wrike Resource, Wrike for Professional Services, and Wrike for Professional Services Performance legacy plans.ย

Week numbers? The example view looked strange and seems like something were not using.
So many nice Icons in the comments here!ย ๐๐๐
Are there plans to make work templates accessible to regular users instead of just admins/owners?ย ๐คโ๏ธ๐
Great stuff!ย ๐ฅย ย And I agree with Pam Martin's POV/question.ย ๐ย
Thanks for clarifying,ย Vanessa Vanessa! It's the Resources view, you can check out the info on it here ๐
Pamela Martin, Kathleen Sampsonย Space admins can also create space-level work templates ๐ The feature is currently experimental and the team is very eager for your feedback on it, so I'd suggest creating a separate Product Feedback post for this suggestion ๐
