@ishki Appreciate the response! How much time a week do you think you spend in the Desktop Pool view? Or are you coming and going that it's hard to know? Were you involved in the onboarding process?

@Robin Harmsen I believe this is the one you signed up for 🙂 I was going to email this link to you but i knew you'd find a way to see it elsewhere hahaha.

@Rico Hi Rico - these are some great suggestions! You mentioned improving operational efficiency for your admins - how many in your org are using Horizon? Do you use it for individual responsibilities or is there cross-collaboration where 1 Admin does a part of the workflow and another Admin finishes it? Is there any handoff like that? Any details here would be awesome!

@bjohn Hey there - appreciate the response! Totally hear you about the console timing out - if i could be your fairy godmother and with the flick of my wand make it not do that...i would 🙂 I’d like to understand a bit more about what you’re using Horizon for - where do you spend the most time in the Horizon Console and what are you trying to accomplish?

@BenTrojahn Thanks for the details Ben, this is helpful! Curious what you’re trying to accomplish in the Farms page - what tasks do you primarily do there? How much time do you spend? Is there anywhere else you typically go in Horizon after Farms? If so, what do you do there?

This somehow didn't get in here: Workspace One: AI Assistant About: What kind of personality do you envision for a WS1 AI assistant - professional, casual, witty? What kind of tone should it have when communicating with you - formal language, slang, or a mixture based on context What: Your choice of either a 45-minute, 1x1 conversation via Zoom or a 20-minute online survey.

@Dan White OOF, i bet that was a delightful day! For onboarding, was that done by just 1 Admin or are multiple involved? How does that hand-off work?

@Jubish Jose Thanks for the detailed response, and appreciate your expertise in this area 🙂 I'd love to know more about what repetitive tasks you're doing. What's your day-to-day like in regards to Horizon?

@Dan White @VDINinja3 Those challenges make sense and would be annoying! Were you all involved in the onboarding process for Horizon? Curious how that went...

@VDINinja3 WOAH your username wasn’t kidding when it said “ninja” because you are ninja-ing the heck out of Horizon! Since I’m a curious lady: How much time a day do you typically spend doing these tasks?…and is that good or bad? How often do you think you log in/out, come/go from the Horizon console? As I said to Dan, I am a negative novice user haha…so not sure how it typically works! But to do these tasks, is it like a “one and done” kinda thing or a constant, if that makes sense... If this question is confusing then here's my backup: Which is better - Wendys, Mcdonalds, Jack in the Box, or Burger King 🍔 Is there anything that you cannot do in Horizon that you have to do elsewhere in WS1? Appreciate your feedback!

@Dan White Makes sense - it’s like when I re-arrange my pantry and can’t find the brown sugar I use twice a year….right when you actually need it, it isn’t in the usual spot! Although i think what you're talking about is a tad more important than my baking 🙂 3 questions for you: How long have you been using the Horizon console overall? What Horizon level of experience best describes you: novice, intermediate, advanced, or expert? (I’m at a negative novice level LOL!) “I spend about an hour doing tasks in the console” —> is this a good thing or bad thing? Is being able to spend little time in Horizon mean it’s accomplished what you need and you can move on, or is it little time because you can’t accomplish what you need to do and have to go elsewhere? Appreciate your feedback! 🙌
