Using the Review Tracker is a great tool. But personally and from my office users, we find that there seems to be a lack of feature there.

That is the order of the files (reviews) added is not sorted. It is ordered in the order it is added.

We do not know if (can't find related topics) about people complaining this lack of feature or is it that we're not knowing how this could be done.

Well, we are very systematic about our documents and each document we work is named (prefix) with an index, as with the nature of our business.

Looking at a whole list of documents (sent reviews), even after putting the documents into folders, does not help. The list is still very long and very hard to locate a document. ie. The document is all over the place!

The same for the list, when we start a shared review. There are so may location added, and after some time, we forget if a location has been added. Going thru the unsorted list is really a big pain.

Q1: Would anyone in this forum having such complaints and experience to share?
Q2: Or is there someone who could tell us if there is a sorting feature we can "turn-it-on"?

Cheers, mates!

I'll chime in as another person who wants to be able to sort the review tracker file list, and I can't believe we are the only two.

Version by version, the review tracker has improved a little each time. I hope we don't have to wait until v.10 to get this one.

I'd also like to be able to add a folder in a folder, for another level of organization.

Ziggy,

I'd felt the warm when I saw a reply to my post. I'd guess it is the way that we work in a systematic manner that we would need this sort feature. I'm not implying that the others who uses tracker are not. I'd agree that the folder/folder feature is a plus too.

I'd guess that you are already on 9.1.3 updates. Yeah! npo such feature enhancements!


I would add that if you can backup the tracker list of join reviews or sent reviews would be an excellent feature too. I've had bad experience with 8 that somehow the product crashed and I've to remove the product registry to restart the product, loosing the list does annoy. Lost track of the documents! I've not experience a failure to the product on 9 so far...

Another thing I would add is that the tracker or sync feature should have a online/offline checkbox or sort of feature. I work on me notebook, but when I go home and return the next day to office, tracker would list a huge list of documents it is not able to validate, cos I'm out of the company domain; and mark them errors. not major but irritating.


I've been looking high and low for how we can share "REAL" use thoughts and suggestion to adobe but could not. Would there be any chance one could suggest how to send feedbacks to Adobe?

This forum, I wonder if it is being monitored by the product QA or it's just a unmanaged forum where users run wildly. I think that Adobe should see such comments and feedback and post it somewhere and announce to the forum users,

"hi boys & girls,
we've seen your comments, click here to see a wonderful wish list or problem list. Maybe some of the features can be built with patches or updates in the next release or in the new version."

Cheers!

P.S. Sighs! Just to think about feature feedbacks and updates of the products. Feels like a fool to pay that yearly maintenance (for the huge license pool we have) to Adobe and not felt the real value back!

This is a really old topic, but I find I'm still wondering whether there are any plans to add more sorting functionality to the review tracker in upcoming versions. Thanks!

Just got an email for Acrobat X. Anyone have any inside information on whether the review tracker functionality has received some attention?
