MakingItAppenQ: Hi there, I've purchased a licence for Worklenz and I really like its simplicity so far, especially compared to Jira.
However, if you could match a similar workflow to Quire or Asana, I would be really happy to recommend your tool and create content to promote it.
Can you please advise if the following features are being developed or are on the roadmap:
1. Have more nested sub-tasks - right now it's limited to 1 level
2. Keyboard shortcuts to quick create sub-tasks (eg Shift+ENTER for sub-tasks, ENTER for tasks at same level) - in general making it faster to create sub-tasks and tasks
3. When looking at tasks at the Project level, would it be possible to create a list view which shows Tasks and sub-tasks and allows the statuses (To-do, Doing, Done) to be a field instead?
4. Allow Task filtering instead of just sorting
5. Filtering of tasks with "Swim-lanes" filtering on the horizontal axis
6. Dedicated workspaces for projects - I know we can add labels but it would be nice to have distinct areas to view projects
As a general point, it looks like your platform is aiming to offer flexibility and customisability so users can create workflows as they wish. If this is the case, please follow this philosophy in every view so users can create the views/templates and task management approach they want. Great job so far!
I'll provide a review soon after I've tested the platform a little more

Hi MakingItAppen - I discovered points 5 and 6 are already available. For 5. use the status drop down within the project view and select phases. You can set up multiple swim-lanes or phases. For 6. use Teams under Admin and create new Teams and they will show up as workspace. Hope that helps.
Thank you for providing suggestions. Really appreciate to see a community growing around Worklenz. Please join our Discord server if you haven't yet.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback and for choosing Worklenz as your project management tool. We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying its simplicity and find it a favorable alternative to Jira. Your suggestions are not only appreciated but are instrumental in helping us enhance Worklenz to better serve your needs. It would be great if you can provide an Example related to Asana/Quire to understand the requirement little bit better.
Regarding your inquiries about potential features, please see our responses below:
1. Nested Sub-Tasks: Your input on expanding nested sub-tasks beyond one level has been duly noted. While this feature wasn't initially prioritized, your request has highlighted its importance. We'll certainly consider adjusting our priorities to accommodate this enhancement.
2. Keyboard Shortcuts for Sub-Tasks Creation: We understand the significance of efficiency in task management. As such, incorporating keyboard shortcuts is now slated for inclusion in our development roadmap. Thank you for emphasizing the value of this feature.
3. List View at Project Level: It's interesting you mentioned this; we initially had a similar feature in our design phase. Given your feedback, we're excited to inform you that reintroducing a list view that displays tasks and sub-tasks, along with customizable status fields (e.g., To-Do, Doing, Done), is planned for our upcoming release.
4. Task Filtering: We aim to offer as much flexibility as possible with task management. If you could provide us with an example or even a screen recording of your ideal task filtering functionality, it would greatly assist us in tailoring this feature to meet your needs.
5. Swimlanes Filtering: Similar to task filtering, we welcome any examples or detailed descriptions of how you envision swimlanes filtering to work within Worklenz. This will aid us in developing a feature that aligns with your expectations.
6. Dedicated Workspaces for Projects: Currently, our platform's design philosophy has not specifically focused on dedicated workspaces. However, we recognize the value in having distinct areas for project management. We're open to exploring a middle ground that incorporates this functionality while maintaining our platform's flexibility and customizability.
We're committed to providing a tool that supports a wide array of workflows, enabling our users to tailor their project management experience to fit their unique needs. Your feedback is crucial in guiding us towards this goal.
For more detailed discussions or to provide specific examples, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at support@worklenz.com. We're here to assist and ensure Worklenz evolves in a way that best supports your project management journey.
Thank you once again for your thoughtful feedback and for considering Worklenz for your projects. We look forward to your review and are excited about the opportunity to make these improvements.
Warm regards,
Kalinga
