Adobe Workfront

Description - It would be nice if any edits made to the request after it is converted to a project, flows down to that converted project as well for ease of data consistency and accuracy.  Why is this feature important to you - This saves the admin team time otherwise spent on copying data from request to project. How would you like the feature to work - if we are able to do this, the teams working on the project will not miss any important edits made to the request that never flowed to the project. Current Behaviour - Request edits do not flw to converted project, hecne there is a mis match of data between the two objects.

Description - Users with the access level of System Admin should be able to access proofs without being added to the proof workflows under the Workfront Stage.   Why is this feature important to you - I work the support channel and often need to access files to troubleshoot. Every time I access a proof I get an email that I have been added to the proof and get updates on the proof status. It would save a ton of my time if this would not add me to the proof workflows when I am working a support ticket.   How would you like the feature to work - I would like the system to take into account the access level of the user opening the proof and not adding the system admin access user to the proof Workflow. It should still allow a system admin to be added to a route intentionally but when they access a route that they were not already on the proof workflow they would not get added to it. It could still log the activity so there is a trail of who has access the proof etc.   Curr

More generally, it would be nice if we could customize what is displayed in the task header in NWE.More specifically, my NWE users miss having the task description and task reference number in the header so it can be at-a-glance no matter what part of the left navigation they are on. Removing these two fields is causing additional clicks on a regular basis.

Description - When creating custom forms, if the form starts with a 'Descriptive' text field the top spacing and left side alignment is off. You can easily tell theirs way too much top spacing and then from the left the descriptive text is not aligned to any of the other custom form fields.  Why is this feature important to you - We have over 3,000 clients/requesters that use these forms. And this looks messy and seems to be a direct reflection on the marketing team, where we have no control over. The descriptive copy is important for the requesters to review and read so they understand HOW to use the form. How would you like the feature to work - Universally the custom forms spacing and alignment should be reviewed and be the same throughout.  Current Behavior - Messy, see screenshot

Description - Let’s imagine you have many customers with many contracts. On some of them you let them the opportunity to consume 15 F.T.E. a month. When doing your planning you can see the total availability of the team and also where their time is planned (resource planner report). Now if you want to see in a simple dashboard, as the resource planner, the remaining F.T.E. that customer has and where time is planned so that it does not go over the 15 total… How would you do that ?   I will even add a more complex point. You may have several customers sharing the same infrastructure (servers, network, …) all of that infrastructure has to be maintained. You are logging operational time in Workfront. Customers pay their share to the common infrastructure acording a defined ratio, so you want to reflect these ratios in their 15 F.T.E.. That would give you the remaining F.T.E. for the month at any time regardless of it got spent on operational or project time.   Why is this featu

Description - We have the following Issues:I raised this ticket here (Case #00337225) and was told that there is no solution at the moment, so I am putting this on record. This is an important issue because without this we don't know if the user logged into the system today and put in hours on past dates.1 - In the user updates it does not show on which date I posted the timesheet, it only shows me the update from when I attributed the hours.See, for example, I log into the Timesheet and fill in information from previous days, still in the example, Let's suppose I logged in today (October 21) and filled in hours from October 10.What happens today is that I don't have a clear view of when the user added those hours. Because the system shows me that the user logged into the timesheet on today's date, but does not tell me which dates he actually filled in. Is that clear to you? (attached screenshot of what I am saying)2 - The second issue is that when we post hours in the "General H

Need to have a option to limit project "manage right" for "Resource Manager". All we need resource managers to do is assign resources and use the tool to monitor resource load. We trained them to use the new people /scheduling area. This will be very helpful for our company if more options/filters can be given(different idea exchange post) The major issue for us is that they are also given right to change project "name"; "planned date", etc if they are assigned to resource owner. During our testing, our resource managers did "accidentally" changed the predecessor/ due date/ project name etc and "NO" notification to project owner can be set up either. This can be a controlling nightmare for us as PM should be the only persons should grant the right to update these field in our company. We also checked with workfront consultant". There is "NO" work around. So, if we remove them as resource owner, then the

Description - Allow comments at start of calculation using standard syntax such as # Why is this feature important to you - While there is the instructions, this ends up displaying to the user. It would be better to have simple ability to write comments into the scriprt How would you like the feature to work - Allow # Current Behaviour - Not possible

Description - We should have the ability to choose to ignore the time of day for tasks  Why is this feature important to you - This causes issues on our schedule and forces us to use time of day when we have teams in different time zones. We only care that a task is due, started, or completed on a specific day the time does not matter. Every report and project view has to be adjusted in a specific way so time of day is not considered (task calculated fields) How would you like the feature to work - There should be a setting on the group level that allows us to ignore time of day  Current Behaviour - Workfront considers the time of day a task date is started and due which causes confusion for our team that does not use time constraints. 

Workfront Feature Request – Add comment counts to Unresolved, Unread, With Attachments and Current Page Only in the proof comment filter pane When filtering edits, there are currently comment counts under Actions but not under General I think it would be very useful to have comment counts in both sections If I knew how many unresolved comments still remain, I could figure I need to do XX number of edits per day to stay on track That would help avoid an unexpected last-minute scramble as the deadline approaches Also it doesn’t make any sense to me why the tick boxes under General are in two columns  

We have received a lot of feedback that our users find the integration between the Workfront and Outlook calendars limited because you have to manually move the tasks over. Our request is that tasks automatically show up on the outlook calendar on the date the task is due, as all day events.

When I create a custom form, and I'm making a list of choices for a check box or radio button, once I've entered my options I can drag-n-drop to rearrange the list. I really would like that same drag-n-drop / rearrange ability on the report entry screen when I'm entering prompts.

Currently, duration can be only be averaged at the project level, so if you attempt to add a filter for a specific summary task or template task, the system does not generate a number. As a new version of reporting is likely coming out, can we considering adding this functionality in so that we can break down project timelines by summary tasks, at least, to understand how long specific tasks take, without having to leverage text mode.

Can we please get an option to sort cell contents by default alphabetically. For example, multi select fields will appear within the column cells in random order.

Please add Revenue Types to Issues.   We stopped issues at all already about 7 years ago, as we had the problem that every logged hour on an issue results in Planned Revenue on a Project. In fact not every issue can be billed, so we would need the option to set a Revenue Type like "not billable" as we are uses from Tasks.

Description - the ability to automate turning requests to project with project templates    Why is this feature important to you - we have many teams that receive a LOT of requests every week in our org and as a planner, a lot of my job will centre around setting up projects for the various teams, despite not being a part of their team! I am the bottleneck in our Workfront instance. Being able to automatically convert a request to a project would save me hours of work every week and streamline our request process.     How would you like the feature to work - have the option to automate the request > project action based on templates set up in the system.   Current Behaviour - this option I don't believe is available based on posts in the Experience League community. Has to be done manually and means I'm a bottleneck for our request process. 

Description - Allow the ability to Grant Edit and/or View Access to Section Breaks on Custom forms based on Team, Groups, or Access levels.   Why is this feature important to you - This allows minor sections of custom forms that are needed for speciality teams to access and edit parts of a custom form that others cannot without having to create a whole new custom form.  Allowing all the data needed to be kept in one form (Location).     How would you like the feature to work - When placing a Section Break in a custom form allow either the ability to Grant access based on their access levels (how it is currently) or to grant Edit and/or View abilities based on a Team or Group assignment.   Current Behaviour - Section Breaks in custom forms only allow the ability to Grant access based on their access levels, of Edit, View or Admin only.

Description - Why is this feature important to you - How would you like the feature to work - Current Behaviour - I work for a financial institution and we are heavily regulated. Each product release has to be documented including our testing and communications. It would be extremely helpful to have a Word document available for each release that we can download and customize for our use. Thanks.

Request: Provide a possibility to configure a data validation for custom fields. Benefit: Improve data quality in Workfront and execution execution.

Two ideas based on Custom Prompts below: 1) Prebuilder based on forms 2) sort options   Idea 1: When you build form fields, they become available as a picker for custom prompts. Within a report’s Custom Prompts Options window, a second section could be added where you can type the name of a form field you want to use as a prompt. See image example below.     The name and options are then prepopulated from the form field options. Note: BONUS would be to allow multi select if desired.     Idea 2: Allowing sorting of custom prompts and fields. Highlighted items below:     Bonus: In reports, add a header line item (can be turn on or off) that enable sorting the entire report from headers selections. Also, enable the ability to have the options within the cells be listed in alphabetical order vs random.    

Description - During the conversion or edit of a project, we'd like to be able to remove multiple custom forms at once to save time.   Why is this feature important to you - It would save our teams quite a bit of time with the volume of projects we convert and edit throughout the year.   How would you like the feature to work - Allow multiple forms to be selected before the user clicks "Remove" during the project conversion or editing process.   Current Behaviour - You need to select one, click remove, select the next, click remove, and so on.

it comes as a great surprise to us that changing the Owner of a project does not automatically give that person manage access to the project.Seems kinda odd you'd want a view-only Owner of a project.So hoping to get some traction around making Manage the default, or perhaps an option in preferences so I don't remove someone else's preference for current behavior.

We need to have Workfront maintain the status of the request/issue after it is converted to a project and not change the status of the request back to "New". Currently, this is what happens in WF:Requestor submitted a request/issue to a reviewer for project executionThe status of the request changed to "New" The requestor approved the request for project execution and the status of the request turned "Approved" The customized queue that we built sends this approved request to the queue owner and he/she would change the status of the request to "Approved for Prioritization" (a customized status).However, when this request/issue is converted to Project object, the status changed to "New" for the request...we do not want that...we want it to keep its status at "Approved for Prioritization".

I think by adding read receipts to updates on a task or project level would be beneficial to Project Managers as well as others working within WF. It would allow the PM to see if their messages have been seen or read that way they can follow up when necessary.   Currently you don't really know if someone you assigned a task to or @mentioned in an update has seen your message unless they select work on (one of the biggest pain points for our team currently). Adding this feature would definitely help to alleviate that!   Thanks!

We need to be able to select text across a page break in a proof, to make a copy edit using the text tools. Right now, I have to make two separate comments. It's extra work for me and confusing to others reading the comments.   Please enable text selection across multiple pages.
