We're excited to announce Worklenz v2.3.4, our biggest update yet, featuring new task management tools, workflow improvements, and over 60 bug fixes to make your experience smoother across tasks, reports, members, authentication, finance, and UI.
✨ What's New
Critical Priority Level
A new Critical priority level has been added above High, with a distinct color so urgent tasks never get missed.
How to use:
Open any task
Click the priority dropdown
Select Critical
The task will be marked with a distinct color
Use it to flag your most time-sensitive work
Phase and Client Filters in Reports
Project managers can now filter tasks by phase and client in the Reports section to monitor deadlines and workloads across all projects without needing to be assigned to each task.
How to use:
Go to the Reports section
Open the Tasks view
Click the new Phase filter and select a phase
Use the Client filter to narrow down by client
Review task due dates and progress across your projects
Sort Tasks by Project Key
Tasks can now be sorted numerically by their project key in both list and board views, so PROJ-2 correctly appears before PROJ-10.
How to use:
Open a project in list or board view
Click the sort dropdown
Select Key as the sort option
Choose ascending or descending order
Tasks will sort numerically such as PROJ-1, PROJ-2, PROJ-10
Bulk Edit - Set Start Date
You can now set a start date for multiple tasks at once using the bulk edit option.
How to use:
Select multiple tasks in the task list
Open the bulk edit menu
Choose Set Start Date
Pick a date and apply to all selected tasks
All selected tasks will be updated instantly
Save Current View
Your preferred group-by view such as status, priority, or phase in the task list and board view is now saved automatically for your next session.
How to use:
Open a project in list or board view
Change the Group By setting to status, priority, or phase
The view saves automatically
Return to the project anytime and your view will be restored
You can also pin a view as your default
