Airtable has deprecated API keys in favor of Personal Access Tokens for some time now and PAT are the recommended way to connect through the Airtable API.  https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/authenticationI am requesting that Fusion allow connections to Airtable using a PAT rather than Client ID / Secret and OAuth login.We currently have a technical email account setup with access to Airtable but due to our companies Entra policies this account cannot login through SSO to Airtable.  Because of this I cannot get through the login screen to grant access to Airtable when setting up a connection in Fusion.  I can however have a PAT setup from our system admin of Airtable for this account.Please add the ability to use a PAT when setting up an Airtable connection using the standard out of the box Airtable connector.

Let’s keep the conversation and the questions going on the new Unified Approval. What other questions do people have? What are you excited about with Unified Approvals. I will get the recording and the slides uploaded here shortly.

We have a workflow that incorporates multiple rounds of reviews as tasks. We are trying to automate the closure of these tasks when rounds aren’t needed and approvals are obtained earlier than what we planned for. What I’m struggling with is the Parent Task status. Since the projects are set for the parent tasks to be a summary of the child tasks, when the child tasks are closed (status of not needed which equates with complete) the parent task is updated to Complete, which is ultimately fine but not the preference. We’d like it to update to “not needed,” which equates with Complete. Is there a way to edit this task status via Fusion? I’ve tried with a basic scenario without success, but not sure if there is any other option.  

Hi - I’m trying to create a report that lumps together project/task logged hours vs all other time. Our project and task time is under the preset hour type of general so I can’t use that to build the report. I basically want to see a pie chart with 1 color lumping project/task time together and the other color references all other logged hours (general, sick, corp meetings, etc).  Any ideas?

Is there a way in Workfront to have one report subscription e-mail contain more than one report?Thanks.Brent

I have multiple resources that have multiple roles within our organization.  The resources are setup with three separate roles within the user settings, but when I try to report on the actual or planned hours per each specific role, the report is only returning the primary role.  In addition, when assigning these users to the job role within the project, I am not getting a drop down list.  Has anyone run into this before and do you have any suggestions on accurate reporting per job role?Thanks!Sue

Hi,I’m trying to attach a template to the project, and when I’m doing it via Web interface it attaches template and all templates tasks. But when I’m using API, it assigns a template but doesn’t create tasks from the template. .../attask/api/v21.0/proj/{PROJECT_ID}/attachTemplate body -  {"templateID": "***"} I’ve tried a lot of variations for body, with "options": [], without, with "excludeTemplateTaskIDs": [] and without. Nothing helped. Is it possible to attach a template to the project and trigger template’s task creation?Thank you.

Need to create a calculated field to count child task of a specific taskExample under the task “asset”, we have a list of assets such as “banner”, “Video”, “Print” etc.

Hello! I'm trying to create a project report that shows actual duration of projects.  One column is pulling the template duration, but I also want to show in a separate column the duration the project ACTUALLY took. Taking the actual start date and add up the actual completion date and show what that duration is (keep in mind, we have our schedule set up not to include weekends and holidays so it's not as straightforward as adding the days between the two dates). This will then show me a comparison to what the project SHOULD have started vs when it did and then how long is actually took.  Ultimately, I want to show two things: 1) are our templates set up accurately for the duration needed and 2) we are allocating enough time, but our projects are starting too late; therefore we're always late getting them done. Warning: I do not understand text mode well at all. HA! 

We are about to embark on our Workfront Planning journey and just wanted to think about topics I would need to cover in training for the end user?  They will not be the ones creating workspaces and stuff like that so just wondering what all the training could entail on their end.Currently, I have the following topics:What is Workfront Planning? Create and managing view tables Importing information from a spreadsheet   

I’ve set up reports to show “counts as revenue” hours vs total recorded hours, but since we have not required employees to fill up their time sheets, a lot of them don’t record non-revenue hours. We can change that through training but in the meantime I would like to create a report that shows revenue hours vs total available hours. But when I’m trying to build the report,  don’t see any option for an “Available Hours” column. Do I need to do this in text mode? If so, how would that be parsed? I don’t use text mode a lot, and when I do it’s mostly finding something that looks similar to what I want and copying or editing it. Thanks in advance. 

Basically - I have the same question as this user in 2023, but the code didn’t work for me - have there been any updates I should know about. I’m not savvy at text mode (like, at all).  

Workfront Report: This idea is submitted with reference to Adobe Workfront reporting limitation on Task reportCase id: #E-002087382Please consider this idea for further implementation:Task-level comments are populating in Project Last Note field, which results in the actual project-level comments being overwritten? Unable to capture last user comment and not API/system generated comment in Project/task last note

As organizations grow, so does the complexity of onboarding, training, and supporting users. What works for a small pilot team often breaks down at scale. That’s where Adobe Workfront Blueprints and Project Templates can provide structure, consistency, and speed. In this session, we’ll explored how Workfront can drive the engine for training and enablement, powered by Blueprints and shared ideas for:   Designing scalable training paths for different roles and maturity levels  Organizing enablement projects, content, and documentation in one system  Using onboarding workflows to reinforce adoption through real work  Tailoring Blueprints to fit enterprise governance and operating models  Learning from multiple approaches, because enablement is never one-size-fits-all  If you weren’t able to attend live — or want to revisit any part of the session — you can access everything below:  Slide Deck  Webinar Recording  We’d love to keep the conversation going here in the community.

Current situation is that if the group member does not follow the process and creates projects without the group share, the group administrator would not be able to see the project. This means that the group administrator does not have autonomy and would either require the systems administrator to share those types of projects to the group administrator or do a default sharing via access level which is missing the share to group administrator and only share to the homegroup.Let’s give the group administrator the autonomy so that they can create workflows and see all the projects for their group!

Our company has a non-standard Fiscal Year and it makes Reporting on the Fiscal Year very difficult as Calendar year or Quarter are not what our company goes by. Can we make a Setting that sets a Fiscal Year as well as Fiscal Quarters by either Company OR just for an instance?

Our proofs are saved at the project document level. We have different workflows for approvals, but we also have corresponding tasks, so we build the SLAs into our project timeline. Is there a way with Fusion to link stages to specific tasks? For example, Compliance Review proof stage to auto complete a task called “Compliance Review (PROOFING STEP).” Is this possible?
