More relevant smart assignments

NOTE
Preview release: December 21, 2023; Production for fast release: With the 24.3 release (March, 2024).
This feature has been removed from Preview and fast release Production.

We have changed the algorithm that Workfront uses to calculate and suggest smart assignments for tasks. The new algorithm applies in the following areas in Workfront where you assign a task: task lists, the Assignments area in the task header, Home, and the Summary panel.

Now, the algorithm looks at the following information when it suggests smart assignments:

  • Similarities between task, project, and portfolio names.

  • Frequency with which an assignment is made to a task with a similar name.

If the new algorithm finds no matches, the existing criteria for calculating smart assignments are applied.

Also consider the following:

  • The name of the smart assignments list in a task list changed in the task list from “Here are a few suggestions” to “Suggested assignments”.

  • There are no changes in the way smart assignments are calculated for issues. The name of the smart assignment list in an issue list is “Here are a few recommendations”.

For more information, see Smart assignments overview.
