Absolute filters

Here is the issue I am currently facing in Wrike. I am creating a dashboard for a manager to be able to view tasks for their direct reports and I am filtering the data by specific users. However, because I am grouping the results by Assignee, any person who is also assigned to any of these tasks also shows up in the dashboard despite the fact that they are not specified in the filters.

I would also love this feature because I've tried to do the same thing Chris is talking about. Sometimes we have people outside of a department assisting someone with a task, so they both get assigned to it so they can both track it on their to do lists. But to Chris's point, you can't filter out the other people who aren't a direct report of the manager you're trying to build the dashboard for. So you end up with other "random" people on the view, like bar and pie charts, and it clutters the view.

I've noticed this has been an issue as well. As a temporary solution, we've decided to ensure each task has only one assignee. To keep others informed without cluttering dashboards, we created a separate custom field called "Stakeholder." Stakeholders can also be added as followers to receive email notifications.

This makes dashboards cleaner, but it does mean stakeholders won’t see the task in their standard views. To address this, we also created a stakeholder widget, allowing them to easily track tasks they’re interested in.
