It would be great to have thumbnails propagated across the entities hierarchy. In some scenarios from folder to its children, in other from version to its parents.<h2 style="text-align: start"></h2><h2 style="text-align: start">Strategy</h2><ul><li>The project's thumbnail, and each folder thumbnail is inherited by children.<ul><li>So at the beginning of the project, every entity shows the project's thumbnail.</li><li>Inherited thumbnails shows an overlay of the entity type icon to mark that it’s inherited</li><li>Product versions and workfiles don't inherit thumbnails.</li></ul></li><li>On any entity, the frontend gives the ability to set/unset a thumbnail.

Add options to notify users about AYON events via e-mail

Email Notifications

The ability to set a reviewer for a folder, task or version.Works very similar to assignee.This is most useful for delegating work that is reviewing of the work rather than doing the work. Reviewers would get notifications when added and then subsequent notifications on new events.

Возможность назначить рецензента для папки, задачи или версии.Работает аналогично назначению.Это наиболее полезно для делегирования работы, которая заключается в просмотре работы, а не в ее выполнении. Рецензенты будут получать уведомления о добавлении и последующие уведомления о новых событиях.

When we publish images (for example from Substance Painter), we use Ayon's OIIO to automatically provide several resized versions of the images. The Ayon Loader allows to choose which of the output images we want to load.But it displays it as a flat list, which can quickly become too long and difficult to read.Please provide sub-menu (see my screenshot and mockup gui), to group by load types, to greatly enhance the use of that gui.<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" data-featurebase-content-key="67b76a31b8a7a2f3181da4ba/post/67f525e1e0b09e45e74f05b7/0196159b-cdb8-7988-b338-fe49c0cde960/b64u-TG9hZF9zdWJfbWVudS5qcGc.jpeg" data-featurebase-content-filename="Load_sub_menu.jpg" src="https://67b76a31b8a7a2f3181da4ba.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/67f525e1e0b09e45e74f05b7/0196159b-cdb8-7988-b338-fe49c0cde960/b64u-TG9hZF9zdWJfbWVudS5qcGc.jpeg?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260130T060000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260130%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=19cbdbac9e375569bde5830231e5e07f1ac834bbc152280cdf4e9580e044fc23">Already discussed here :<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://github.com/ynput/ayon-core/issues/1132">Load menu : add sub-menus to group loaders #1132 | AYON Core</a></li></ul>

Project Overview Page - Show Count

Mustafa Zaky Jafar

We would need an option to add variants from the overview and define ahead of time. -Example 01 Let say we’re working on a show with Dino’s We need multiple triceratops in a scene and we don’t want to have a 1 on 1 copy of them, that would look silly. I would like to have the same model and rig, animation cycles, but would like to have variants of the texture, maybe some have an extra scars, a little color variation etc. etc. I don’t want to create new tasks as they 3 variants we've are all so slightly different that if the client to decide that the overall color of the Dino should be slightly more brown instead of green we need to adjust 3 (in our case substance painter) files. Or if the model changes for some reason, again changing/adjusting 3 files So i just want to be able to adjust that one file and have a folder that we can manually turn on/off for the extra scars etc. etc. etc. We can to that right now at the publish and add a variant name, but we’ve no way to track it or define to the artist which versions we’ve need except for an note in the task. And textureMain and A can be approved but textureB maybe needs some small adjustments -Example 02 We’ve got a show with some “creative” comp shots. for some of these cases we already know that we need to create 3 versions of that shot which the client will decide later on which one will be finalized, this way again, we can have 1 nuke/aftereffects file where we can create the work in, but we can publish to the different variants to address feedback on just one particular version, we can omit the versions that we don’t need in the end. But we can (in the hopefully near future) track time on it, which will also be important. My suggestion would be a variant task. So a variant task you can only add to a task. You can name it, and have all the things setup in the overview. task progress, publish to it. (maybe don’t have someone assigned to it as you’re working from the same file that should be inherited from the mainTask But if you open a variant task from the launcher or the browser, you’ll just open the asset/shot from the parent task and no other project file will be created. I am aware that this can cause issue’s as you’re working in 1 work file, and can alter other versions if not careful (luckily we publish the work file along so we can always revert back) Maybe if variant are present we can have a popup when the program start that you’re working with variant in a single file. <img data-width="100%" data-align="left" data-featurebase-content-key="67b76a31b8a7a2f3181da4ba/post/6801f25aba761af36892afbe/0196478d-c3f8-7575-ab51-dc5d75f552eb/b64u-dmFyaWFudHMucG5n.png" src="https://67b76a31b8a7a2f3181da4ba.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6801f25aba761af36892afbe/0196478d-c3f8-7575-ab51-dc5d75f552eb/b64u-dmFyaWFudHMucG5n.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260130T060000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260130%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=d77447e04cb0ea5915bf5b43008081c798e9c3202ef91fa8d51ca5679cdd8f6a" data-featurebase-content-filename="variants.png"> Also described here <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://community.ynput.io/t/defining-product-variant-ahead-of-time/1368">https://community.ynput.io/t/defining-product-variant-ahead-of-time/1368</a>

Some Producers use external services or in-house solutions to manage production steps like breakdown, planning scenarios, reporting... Using AYON should not be in the way of that.<h3 style="text-align: start"> User Stories</h3><ul><li>As a production coordinator I want to create many assets in AYON based on my excel sheet</li><li>As a producer I want to export my filtered view from AYON to excel.</li><li>As a producer I need to quickly modify a lot of information on all entities and I'm more comfortable with excel.</li></ul>

CSV Roundtrip

RV review workflow

In some situations, the product type is not enought to convey the purpose or usage of specific products. For example, in a 2D animation workflow, most of the product are Images. But there are different purposes for each task: Concept, Blocking, Polish... Users want to distiguish between these as much as between a Model and a Camera for example. Implementing a new Product type for each of these would give the intended result, but we need a solution available for non-developers.<h2 style="text-align: start">User Stories:</h2><ul><li>As a Concept Artist, when I create a new Product for my task, I should be able to specify that the produced Image is a Concept Image.</li><li>As an Artist, when I need to reference a Concept image, I need to be able to filter out all other Image product and see only Concept Image in the Loader dialog.</li><li>As a CG Supervisor, when designing a production workflow, I need to be able to declare specialised product types conveying a clear and specific purpose without writing code.</li></ul>

Product aliases

Sub-tasks are lightweight work items that live within a main task. They are designed to streamline workflows without the complexity of creating full tasks.Each sub-task will contain the following:<ul><li>Label (Required): The name of the sub-task.</li><li>Assignee: The user responsible for the sub-task.</li><li>Dates: Start and due dates to help with scheduling.</li><li>Completion: A simple checkbox to track status.</li></ul>Sub-tasks will be introduced as a premium feature, bundled with the Planner &amp; Scheduler Addon. This functionality will provide users with the ability to create split schedules for a single task, offering greater granularity and control over their project timelines.

Sub Tasks

Allow new users to import their historical data from Ftrack to AYON

Ftrack project import

I would be nice to be able to catergorize projects. For example make categories based on client or type of project. Use any project managment tool as reference. For example Clickup has the concept of Spaces and Folders to organize projects and you can drag and drop any project into different folders and spaces. I would be nice if the different categories does not affect the location on disk. Also if a single project could be in multiple categories would also be great. Examples: Projects running right now project01 project02 project03 Our most amazing projects ever project01 project02 project03 Unreal Projects project04 project05 Client01 project04 project05 Client02 project01 project02

When syncing a review session, give a single user full control to ensure only that user can make changes to the frame number. Annotations can be made by anyone but only one at a time.

Review Presenter Mode

I suggest to be able to see and open work files in the launcher. Instead of being presented with different DCCs you will instead see the actual work files (see examples below) The current UI leaves a lot of guess work for the user since there are no way of knowing what work files have already been created previously. I know there are ways of limiting the amount of softwares shown for each specific task, but I still think there are better ways to do the UI to remove any guess work.

Review sessions

Entities are hierarchically organized to reflect production grouping. Task entities are grouped by Status in the Home Tasks Kanban, or other property in the Home Tasks list. But in some situation the user needs more complex or even arbitrary grouping of entities: dailies, shots to sync between sites, versions to deliver, ... In this situations the entities that share specific characteristics, are often ordered together, and some actions can be performed on them. Entity lists allow creating and storing arbitrary selections of entities without altering their actual place in project hierarchy

Las entidades se organizan jerárquicamente para reflejar la agrupación de la producción. Las entidades de tareas se agrupan por Estado en el Kanban de Tareas de Inicio, u otra propiedad en la lista de Tareas de Inicio. Pero en algunas situaciones el usuario necesita una agrupación de entidades más compleja o incluso arbitraria: diarios, tomas a sincronizar entre sitios, versiones a entregar, ... En estas situaciones las entidades que comparten características específicas, a menudo se ordenan juntas, y algunas acciones se pueden realizar en ellas. Las listas de entidades permiten crear y almacenar selecciones arbitrarias de entidades sin alterar su lugar real en la jerarquía del proyecto.

Listas de entidades

Entity lists

Panel to allow artist to quickly see entities related to the one they have selected. - Same task on neighbouring shots - Sibling tasks - Linked assets - Linked shots<img src="https://fb-usercontent.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/01953f0c-c8e4-74d0-8005-478d1ebeb876.png" data-width="100%" data-align="left">

Admins should be able to set a studio’s default view for a page.Users should be able to apply this default view whenever they want.

Default Views

Plan out your production from rough estimates, down to subtask level. With AYON planner you can create and track project phases, studio holidays, artist bookings and deadlines. On the project level you can create multiple scenarios and when you’re ready, mark one of them as live, so the rest of the studio is always up to date.

Planner and Scheduler

The Project settings allow configuration of addons for each project. But in some situations studio also need to alter the list of addons and/or their version per project.One specific and generic need is to "freeze" the addon versions for a project while still being able to upgrade addon versions for other projects, giving the opportunity to go back to a project using the set of features actually used while it was in production.

Bundle per project

Give specific access to external users for reviewing work.

External Review

We need a framework for creating larger automations across DCCs and pipeline tools, which is not dependent on third party tools like render managers, but can offload work to them when needed.

AYON workflow orchestration

Allow production to track artist time on tasks with automated timer start, stop and context switching, natively in AYON

Time tracking

Teams are currently substantially underutilised. They should act as users for all intents and purposes for @mentions, assignments and filter.

Team assignments and mentions

Our attributes are scope to the whole AYON instance making it currently impossible to hide or ignore some of them on projects where they might be irrelevant. We should find a way to add come kind of project scope to attributes. This doesn't need to affect their backend accessibility on project entities, but hiding some attributes on specific projects would be very useful.

Hide unwanted attributes in the UI per Project

Currently you can only add versions to review sessions but this isn’t very intuitive.Because you can create a review session from a task or folder you should also be able to add task/folder versions to a session.As with creating new sessions, the version to be added would be the latest published version.

Add tasks and folders to existing review sessions

Allow new users to import their existing projects from Kitsu. This import should not be confused with an already existing Kitsu integration which allows to work on projects with Kitsu as production tracker, but is not meant for importing historical data.

Kitsu project Import

Give users option to export all the feedback (or a filtered selection) from current review session. When the export is triggered we should give users option to choose:<ul><li>Format (PDF, CSV)</li><li>Specific versions an all their session comments</li><li>Specific comments</li><li>Bulk select and deselect which comments will be included</li><li>Ideally also a filter to make the selecting and deselecting easier (show only “director” comments and include them, then show only “internal” and exclude them)</li></ul>

Export review session feedback

A secondary layer of data in Planner addon that will allow adding arbitrary resources to planned events and scheduled tasks. Licenses, personel, rooms, cats or dogs. This should include capacity planning and monitoring.

Resource management

When working on big projects with directors who type in a lot of feedback in review sessions its nice to have a simple overview of all comments that have been made on a playlist, or even on a whole project, to sort/collect them and then go through them one by one. I see there’s the “Export review session feedback” idea already, but I’m talking about a seperate page/filter that can do this for a project/task/list to all comments it finds.
