Action cards routed from Hive Forms were previously only given empty due dates. This often resulted in action cards getting lost in the workspace. To make it easier to organize routed actions, you can now select a default due date.
In the "edit" menu for the Date fields in Forms, there is now a new option to set a "Default date." Users can set a default value (current date or custom date) and add/subtract increment days. Weekends and holidays can also be toggled on/off.

for requesting this feature!Often times. supervisors need to approve their own timesheet, and the only workaround is to have a teammate approve instead. Now, workspace admins can approve their own timesheets, eliminating unnecessary work.
Admins can now select themselves as "Manager" in their user profile, giving themselves access to approve a timesheet. When the admin has made themselves a manager, the rows in the timesheet are auto-approved.
Similarly, when a project owner submits a timesheet to a project with required approval from owner, the rows in the timesheet are auto-approved. If a manager submits a timesheet on behalf of a user who is assigned to them, timesheet rows that do not need to be approved by the project owner are auto-approved.

for requesting this feature!Calendar View is currently the only view that does not visually differentiate complete vs. incomplete actions. In order to maintain consistency across all project views and provide more accurate insight into projects, we've added the ability to identify completed actions more easily in Calendar View.
Completed actions in Calendar View will now be highlighted in green with a check next to the action card title. This will help users easily see what is complete vs. incomplete at a glance.
Thank you to

for requesting this feature!Say hello to more customization! Along with the many Filters available in Resourcing (teams, skills, etc.), you can now filter by actions in a specific label or phase. This is helpful for teams who rely on labels or phases in their workspace.
To add a filter in Resourcing, find the "Filters" button at the top right corner. From here, select your desired filter(s).

for voting on this feature!Many users rely on Timesheets to resource their team or bill clients. Sometimes users forget or wait to submit Timesheets, which delays important reports. We've added a filter in Timesheets to show workspace users who have not submitted their Timesheets.
In Timesheets, there is now an "Unsubmitted" tab. The report will show workspace users who have not submitted a timesheet. Additionally, there is a "Send reminder" button (similar to the button within Proofing) to send a notification to users to submit their time.
Being able to see (and remind) unsubmitted timesheets will help provide the most accurate data when generating reports.
Thank you to

for providing feedback on this feature!To provide better perspective into independent timelines, users can now condense their Gantt view. You can choose to hide assignees, actions, and milestones (similar to MS Project). This allows users to better visualize independent goals within Gantt.
To hide/show specific filters in Gantt, go to the "settings" icon. In the "Display" dropdown, select or deselect your desired filters.
For the lucky teams who have switched over to a Monday - Thursday work week, we've added the ability to have your workspace reflect this.
In Workspace Settings, the "Working week" dropdown now has a Monday - Thursday option.
Please note:
This will affect action time estimates that overlap. This may cause invalid time entries, but no estimate data will be removed.Thank you to

for requesting this feature!To make holidays more obvious when blocking out time in Resourcing, holiday dates are now visually indicated in the Resourcing view. Holidays (from your workspace settings) will now be greyed out, encouraging users to not block time during then.
Please note: Holidays are not counted towards target utilization for a given amount of time; however, users can drag actions and resource assignments to be over a holiday.
Thank you to

for requesting this feature!Calendar View helps to visualize what's due when, making it a popular project view for teams who work with a number of actions on a monthly basis. Along with the usual project export formats (CSV, Excel, etc.), you can now export projects in Calendar View as a PDF.
PDF exports will make it easier for external stakeholders to see a project in Calendar View at a glance, mirroring what Hive users see internally.
To export a Calendar View as a PDF, go to the "more" menu and select "Export" from the dropdown. Under "Export format" select PDF (.pdf).

for requesting this feature!Action card comments often contain important information and files. To streamline action cards with multiple comments and multiple attachments, we've added the ability to download all attachments at one time in a zip file.
If a comment has one attachment, it will download as an individual file, and iif the comment has more than one attachment, they will download as a zip, (similar to the "download all" button for card attachments).
Thank you to
