Adobe Workfront

The most recent update now displays the Proof Status (S/O/C/D) for items in the Documents tab. It would be great if that status graphic could also be included in reports, especially for project dashboards.

I would like to be able to hover over a task in the Home Calendar view to get information regarding what project it is a part of. Right now we have to click on the task to get more details.

Adding the configuration to be able to lock items update feeds after the objects are closed/completed would be beneficial. It would help keep clear on issues and the like that are already closed and help keep users on track when looking to move on to more current pressing tasks/issues.

Please add Thumbnails to the approvals section of my work. For people reviewing 50+ documents a week this would be extremely helpful. Similar to how a reviewer would see it in their "my updates" section.

I've taken the Advanced Reporting course (twice, actually!). And there are so many times when I wish there was a follow-up session available within Ascent. Personally, I feel that I have an adequate knowledge of the intricacies of text mode, but there's so much more I feel I need to know. Also, it would be great to have some follow-up reporting exercises with a trainer available for questions. The Reporting Community provides a great deal of help, but having that quality time with a WF Reporting trainer among other WF admins would be extremely useful.

The functionality to link Outlook calendars with the Home Area in the upcoming release is great, but it only works with Outlook 365. However, many companies have strict security policies that do not allow use of cloud-based email services. It would great to have the option to link older versions of Outlook with the Home Area.

It would be nice to have the ability to search by the proof ID. The proof ID is shown on the details page of the proof, but other than that has no other utilization for the client/customer viewpoint.

Currently, if you click Done on a task on Home in either the left or right panes, the tasks is removed from the left pane but stays in the right pane until you either click on another task or refresh the browser. If you click Done from within the task itself, when you come back to Home the task is removed from the left pane, but requires a new task to be selected before it is removed from the right pane. No amount of refreshing will remove it from the right pane. We would like tasks to be removed from the right pane as well when they are marked Done. I flagged this as potentially confusing during the Beta period. From one of my users: I’ve started to post updates and log time to other tasks multiple times this week only to realize I was still in the window for the task I just completed.

Programs will have activities not related to a specific project and it would be good to have the ability to create tasks and log them against the program. Creating an extra project in each program to do this becomes unmanageable and messy as there will now be two database entries representing one "program".

Hello All, My department recently began switching over to the new Resource Planner from the legacy tool. I have found the AVL (Available Hours) function particularly useful. The tool describes this figure as a function of the user's base availability minus the user's schedule exceptions and individual time-off. This is a very useful feature in allocating resources to projects BUT there is no breakdown of how it is calculated. What we would really like to see is how availability is calculated by each user as items in the Resource Planner like projects for their time-off and scheduled exceptions by each day/week/month etc. inside of the tool. Since my department submits leave events programmatically, I might be able to replicate this calculation non-natively, but in terms of report generation I don't think there's anything I can create independently that would be half as useful as including a breakdown of the available hours directly in the Planner tool by user. Let me

Currently there is no ID that field that can be shown in the a Proof HQ custom view. This means that there is no unique identifier in the view, as proofs with the same name can show up. It'd be nice if the ID, which is captured in Proof HQ, would be reportable. Even better would be if the reference ID in WorkFront would be the same as proof HQ.

In the new Home area available in Preview, the list on the left of the screen currently shows the due date, but users have to 1. Click on the task/issue, 2. Click in the Update Status field and 3. Change the date and click save to change the due date (3 steps). In the My Work Area, users are able to change the due date directly from the task/issue list (1 step). Please change the procedure for changing the due/commit date on the Home Area so that it's more efficient. This field being customizable by company would help too.

At our organization, we've experimented with Web Data Connectors in tableau to have a place where our tableau server can get information directly from Workfront's API and build more advanced reports than Workfront is capable of producing for us (side note it'd be nice to be able to have a view into Workfront's RDBMS for our own data so without having to go through such extreme development measures just to get our own data into a usable format). This integration is working great for us, but it'd be nice to have the next piece - loading tableau reports back into Workfront. We've started experimenting with standing up a web server that accepts parameters in a restful format - like ?portfolioID=...&programID=... - which we then use to load a tableau report into an HTML page. That html page is loaded into Workfront via an external page view on a dashboard. One major drawback is that it requires us to have unique URLs for each report on a dashboard. For example, I

Allow users to search by Project and Job number. Our print vendors will benefit from this upgrade because it will make navigating their work list easier in the new "My Home" view.

This post has been closed as a duplicate. All votes have been moved to the original: Have separate Field API Names vs Label We have multiple regions on our instance and so we start the name of new fields with the region name e.g. a stakeholder field would be called "EMEA Stakeholders". (or "APAC Stakeholders" if set-up by the Asia Pacific region) This can be become a bit repetitive visually on custom forms having each field start with the same letters. We would love a way to set an optional 'display name' for these fields that would show in custom forms.

Document reports give the ability to view documents from projects, issues and/or tasks. There's also the ability to view or download the documents from the "View Icons" (screenshot attached.) It would be great if users could open proofs from reports as well so they can quickly access, comment and make decisions on the documents. Being able to see the document is great, but allowing users to work through the report saves time and effort.

Add the ability to mark a comment as 'Private To My Company' after it is posted. This would eliminate having to delete and re-post if 'Private To My Company' is accidentally not selected.

Having the "Work On It" button able to be configured with a status would be beneficial. Currently when Work On It is selected the task/issue status will stay new when it is, in fact, being worked on, AKA In Progress. This would better communicate to team members that someone has in fact picked up the task and streamline/automate this process.

In order to be able to sort the data in the reports, we need to have an option in WF - to sort the data from the highest to the lowest - to show Top/Low 10 results

Currently, a Project Manager has the ability to create Issues/Tasks and update the respective Sharing > Access option so that the resources cannot log time to the item. When a Task/Issue has "Log Hours" unchecked (turned off), the Log Hours button DOES NOT display on the Updates tab (which is good). By contrast, if the user goes to their timesheet view, the Issue/Task that has "Log Hours" turned off, still displays as a line item on their timesheet. The daily hour fields for the item are grayed out so that they can't log time. However, if they can't log time, it shouldn't display at all on the timesheet. It takes up unnecessary space and creates confusion for the user. I am proposing that any Issue/Task that has "Log Hours" turned off, does not display on the Timesheet. Screenshot have been included below to illustrate the setting and the difference. The Issue shown below has the "Log Hours" option turned off so this resource

As a System Admin, It would be extremely useful to know who already uses the Workfront Outlook add-in and who has downloaded it in the last month. A report on this that we could run on a regular (i.e. monthly) basis would be extremely useful. At the moment we have to email our Workfront Support Engineer to provide a list of who has downloaded the add-in in the last month which takes a lot of time and going back and forth.

Currently, scorecard calculation function is pretty basic. We are employing a 6-sigma prioritization model, where scores are 1,3 or 9 in Impact, Timing & Feasibility and to get to a priority score, you need to multiply the 3 scores to get a number. I tried to set up a scorecard to do this (so it could be part of a program's scorecard vs a custom form, calculated field.) but the calculation options are really basic. Would love to see WF open this up to increase the ability to add new calculation function outside of sum or %.

We love the fact that directly from Outlook, a user can update an existing Workfront object and a copy of the email can be attached as a document to the object. The attachment is always needed since the update field does not usually allow the entire length of the email due to character limits.By default, the attached file is always called "email.eml" and cannot be overwritten by the user without them taking the time to manually navigate to the documents folder and renaming the attachment through the interface.(We now have hundreds of documents called "email.eml" and many projects contain multiple files of the same name, making it impossible to find the attachment you are looking for.) This takes a lot of time and somewhat defeats the purpose of updating directly from Outlook. I recommend the default title of the email attachment should match the subject line of the email. For bonus points, give the user the ability to rename the title in Outlook before they click th

When using the auto compare feature within Workfront Proof it would be very useful to be able to stack the two proofs vertically in addition to side by side, for pieces that are wide such as self mailers or bill boards. This would allow for the pieces to stay at a read able size while still seeing the whole piece.

If I want to add a task to My Priority I have to go back into Home and perform the action there. Ideally it would be an option under "Task Actions".
