New Timesheet Interface
Hi,
Have I missed the announcement that the new timesheet interface has transitioned from the Labs to production? My users are now seeing a new interface without any training, and I haven't had any notification to be able to plan for and deliver that training. Is there any way of disabling the new interface and returning to the old one until such a time as we have been able to evaluate its effectiveness for us?
I do understand that one disadvantage of platform-as-a-service is that we aren't in control of when new features are released, but the least I would expect is open communication from the provider that things are going to change.

I've had to reach out to my team to let them know that we are not using the approvals feature and to just ignore it. Unfortunately, Wrike assumes that approvers are responsible for specific people and not the tasks in specific projects.
I am not sure if this is exactly relevant to the OP's question, but agree in the annoyance of pushing through new changes without warning. As someone who uses timesheets daily, the new changes are subtle but maddening. Somehow the text is smaller but all the fields are larger with less relevant content on the screen. The size of the input field is larger than the table field, and now I can't press tab to move to the next cell??? These are useless changes which make it less functional, not more.
Thanks Derrick Riley and Stephen Barnecut, it's good to know I'm not alone in my frustrations. I completely agree with your comments, Derrick - the new interface is a huge regression in useability, I have no idea why timesheets were targeted for "improvement" when there are other, more pressing things that could be done.
Which is becoming a regular occurance with Wrike - it's a bit frustrating. Our users have lost trust into the product and are increasingly annoyed with Wrike, since there's always some new change awaiting them, which disrupts their workflow. That's how I learned about the roll out of new time sheet - a call from one of our project managers, asking me, why it's now all different and where all those tasks are coming from.
Thanks for your input here Ralph Hirle it would be nice to see an explanation from someone at Wrike about this issue.
Any update here? This interface is atrocious.
Agreed @Derrick Riley The complete lack of response from Wrike in this instance is incredibly disappointing. I can only infer that the reason they aren't addressing this is because they just don't want to.
Hi folks! Apologies for the late reply here, but there's another very similar thread here.
