Right now, using the Task Assignment app in Alloy is a bit of a chore. Every time you open it, you have to manually filter both the teams and the tasks—even if you’ve saved queries. It’s a click-heavy process that slows things down and makes it hard to justify moving away from the current spreadsheet-based gang programmes, which are quick, familiar, and show exactly what you need as soon as you open them.
What would make a real difference is if Alloy could automatically apply filters based on the user. So when someone opens Task Assignment, it already knows which teams they manage and which unassigned tasks are relevant to them. No need to reselect filters or reload saved queries. Even better would be if it remembered this setup across sessions, so if you accidentally click away or switch apps, you don’t have to start over.
We’ve shown what Alloy could do, and the teams were genuinely excited—but in its current format, it’s just not practical. Adding user-specific presets and making scheme allocation possible directly in Alloy would streamline everything and make the system much more usable day-to-day.
