A new look for Workzilla
Hi everyone,
Workzilla looks different this week. We’ve rolled out a new design across every page — easier-to-read fonts, cleaner cards, and pages that load faster. Most of it you’ll notice once and move on from.
Two parts are worth a couple of minutes before you dive in. Some things have moved, and the Stagnation page has been rebuilt around a different idea about what should be in front of you.
A new look on every page
We’ve replaced the look and feel of Workzilla across the whole product. The fonts are easier to read, the cards are easier to scan, and pages load faster than they did.
- 1The View by, Date range, From and To controls, grouped along the top of the page.
- 2The chart card.
- 3The figure tiles, now colour-matched to the series they belong to.
- Every page is on the new design — dashboards, reports and settings.
- Consistent visuals and naming from one page to the next. Where some pages said “download” and others said “export”, everything now says Export.
- Faster loading.
Company Customisation, reorganised
Everything your firm configures now sits in one screen, grouped by what it does, rather than spread between the main menu and a settings page.
- Manage Teams and Manage Roles have moved here. They are no longer in the main menu — you will find them under Teams & Roles.
- Settings are grouped: Dashboards (Targets, Stagnation rules, Specialisations), General (Naming, Visibility & access), Teams & Roles, and Security (Sign-in security).
- On Roles and Specialisations, the button to create a new one is now at the top of the page rather than the bottom, and you name it in a pop-up.
Stagnation, rebuilt around the files
The Stagnation page has been rebuilt around the matters themselves. The list of stagnant files is now the page — you land on the files, with the summary and breakdowns alongside as context rather than in front of it.
- 1The summary rail — total stagnant files, longest recorded inactivity, who holds the file, and which rules are being broken.
- 2The stagnant files themselves, sorted longest-inactive first.
- 3Group by, Matters opened within and Matter type, for narrowing the view.
- The full list of stagnant files is the first thing on the page, sorted longest-inactive first.
- Each row shows the matter, who is responsible, how long it has been inactive, when it was opened, and which rule it breaks.
- The summary is context, not the destination: total stagnant files, longest recorded inactivity, a breakdown of who holds the file, and which rules are being broken.
- Narrow the view with Group by, Matters opened within, and Matter type.
- Snoozed files sit on their own tab and are left out of the count, so the main list stays to what needs attention.
- Export the list from the page.
- Your firm’s rules are stated on the page, so you can see what is being measured without leaving it.
We’re hoping this new design makes it easier to read and surface the information you need. If it does — or if it doesn’t — please tell us. We’re thinking about how we design pages in the future, and what you tell us about this one will shape that.
My Targets has its own place in the menu
Your targets are no longer tucked inside My Performance. My Targets now sits in the menu in its own right, so you can go straight to it — and it is findable if nobody ever showed you where it lived.
- My Targets is now its own menu item, with Individual Targets and Team Targets as tabs.
- Setting targets up is unchanged — administrators still do that in Administration > Manage Targets.
- Manage Teams — main menu to Company Customisation > Teams & Roles
- Manage Roles — main menu to Company Customisation > Teams & Roles
- Your targets — My Performance to My Targets, its own menu item
- Manage Targets (administrators) — unchanged, still in Administration
Nothing has been removed. Everything you had is still there.
That’s it for this one. If something looks off on a page you use a lot, tell us — we’ve walked every page, but you use them differently than we do.
