Adobe Workfront

Many people I speak to would prefer system updates turn off as default due to the excessive amount of reporting clutter it adds - some useful some not. Toggling it to the off position so people could turn it on would be more beneficial.

Tasks move so quickly thru our organization. It's critical the ASSIGNED TO user knows what is the PLANNED COMPLETION date with time of day. Currently the Assignee Task window only shows the committed date. The orig due date is in the Task details but it's one more click for the user. Help us streamline the user experience!

Starting to get some good information out of the new Resource Planner tool but sharing that information is difficult since you have to have a planner license to view it and the export to Excel is too much and requires additional manipulation to format the report. It would be great to export the GUI view to PDF to share with teams and executives. Secondly, to put this on a schedule for automatic delivery would be useful.

Have an area in Teams or in the Teams Update feed tab to have a general conversation not associated to an object. Somewhere where a team can converse freely to themselves.

Trying to test the new resource planner tool (to replace the legacy planner tool that will be decommisionned soon) ... When running the tool by User, why TOTAL PLANNED HOURS by USER are those of all projects status ?? This is a problem with "On__HOLD" projects where planned hours are still set on the period. These hours should be excluded from the total planned (because it's no more an active charge for the user).

When submitting a request, having a field which will allow you to search the system and auto populate. Example - calculated fields can only calculate based upon the object they are attached to. We would like a global request outside specific objects which the requester can select which object it should be attached to. The Outlook ad-in provides an example of this functionality:

Due to the recent release, the following is now happening. In the projects tab under Projects I Own, the lists collapse every time you time out, click on a project to open it, or log out. Prior to this release, the lists would stay open and not collapsed. Can we please go back to having the lists stay open and not collapse?

With the need to define a "Resource Manager" I get the feeling there is a slight bias in the tools towards companies that have a single Traffic/Resource Manager. Ideally we would be able to: a) define for a particular team a resource manager (e.g. one for each of Dev, QA, DBA, Networks) b) allow this person to approve or reject assignments This feature would of course be optional ;)

It's a pretty poor user experience when I have someone showing me in their plan that they're trying to change a finish date and the task bounces back to whatever date was previously there. The fix is to change the constraint to "Fixed Dates" - hardly a novice user's first port of call. Automatically bouncing the date back and the system saying nothing to explain it is very poor indeed. I suggest to add some kind of message - even if just a non-modal banner at the top.

Calculated fields currently show on the form they're created on. But that doesn't mean I want to see them all the time on the form itself -- I might actually have created those to only use in reports :) (This is for both creating a new item and editing an existing item)

When I log a request or add an issue, the custom form may include some guidance text to help people with the form. However, when I view the form afterwards, I don't necessarily need or want to see this guidance again. I just want to see the main fields. Therefore: proposal to let me choose to 'hide' certain fields when viewing the actual submitted form, versus what I see when I'm actually creating the item for the first time.

We should be able to filter the "Projects I'm On/Projects I Own" by status/condition etc

I don't know whether this is a new idea. We need task folder feature to integrate our other task management systems with Workfront.1) user can create any number of task folders2) user can add arbitrary tasks to his folders from any project he has permission to view or above.3) folder has link to task not the task itself. so same task can be in many different folders without any problem.4) UI shows task list in the folder just like task list in project5) user can remove task link from folder6) user can change order of task links in folder7) when user open a task link in the folder system shows task detail the same way as it shows task detail page in project. You can think of a Task folder as a dynamic collection of Tasks view from many different projects. There should be CRUD API that manages folder and task links and event subscription API that tells event of task getting into or going out of task folder.

If a resource has been tagged in an update and then you have to click over to another thing and come back the tag is gone when you return to the update tab. It's somewhat misleading because the draft of the message remains, but without the tag. On several occasions this has led to an update being published with the assumption that a resource is tagged, only to find a few days later that they were not and the message was missed. Clearly care is needed on the part of those leaving updates, but it would be great if tagging could stick along with the update text.

This post has been closed as a duplicate. All votes have been moved to the original: Bold, Color, Italics, Highlight, Underline Options on Custom Forms We would like to be able to paste or draft text into Custom Form text fields that maintains formatting such as bold/italics, color, bullets and indents. Rationale - larger text entries look like a huge word-dump and are difficult for users and leaders to consume.

Need ability to show Projects in 'Planned' status to show in Home Beta. Our operations admin failed to see a task in Home Beta to onboard a new employee because the project was in Planning status. Would be nice for him to turn off that filter so he can continue to use Home Beta as his only screen he needs to work.

Gather a collection of all users with a job role under the job role object so that we can report on which users are assigned to a specific role from a nested object in a role report. Especially admins need to see who is in a given role, so being able to explore the users associated with that role. You'd think this collection would be needed for resource management!

The entirety of a request description for (more) access needs to be viewable and trackable. Right now I have an instance of a request for more access to a report, and I cannot read the whole thing. It shows part of it then has ... at the end. Screen size does not affect what I can see. There is no display page, list, report anything that allows me to "see" requests for more access. When I click on it all it will do is take me to the report in question. I should be able to see these onscreen, whether it's a View or a Report or whatever.

Today, we can see user's note who has requested more access but we cannot click on it to respond. A great functionality here would be to add a way to click on the comment to provide feedback or setup this area to work like document approval (a comment can be added when approving, requested changes, or rejecting). Thanks

it would be useful if the comment boxes on the right side can be reduced. Now they take up a lot of space.

The Legacy Gantt allows you to select a custom size for printing to PDF. This lets you print poster size Gantt charts. We would like to see this functionality added to the New Gantt before Legacy gets retired.

Hello, I've submitted the following as a defect but wanted to submit it here as well since it just seems like the particular functionality is just missing from reports. Currently, if you have a report that renders the new Gantt and add that report to a dashboard you will notice that the columns on the Dashboard all shrunk to fit on the left side of the Gantt Segments. This does not happen on standard reports outside of dashboards. On reports the columns stay the same width thus allowing the Gantt to cover these important fields. Interestingly enough, both reports will have the same exact export. This export shows all columns as they would come out on the Dashboard(fit to scale on the new window to the left of the gantt).

This would allow a System Admin the ability to login as a user with less keystrokes - especially while troubleshooting an account.

I would like to be in a position where I can define the job role who can edit columns in a report. For example: I have a report with 10 columns. So I would like to give edit access of first 2 columns to PMs and view access to rest of the columns. Then I would like to give edit access of next to columns to engineers and view access for rest of the columns. Right now WF doesn't support such capability. It will be really helpful if we get such capability in WF.

A Resource's Available Hours are only updated when a user is budgeted to work on a work item associated with their primary job role. For example. USER 1: Shane Parker FTE = 1 Primary Job Role: Designer (Budgeted Capacity = 85%) Secondary Job Role: CopyWriter (Budgeted Capacity = 15%) The Job Roles are both part of the same Resource Pool. The new Resource Planner subtab, only takes into account a user's Primary Job Role, so I can not budget resources correctly. I have two projects using the same resource pool. Project 1: requires a designer resource for 20 hours in 1 week Project 2: requires a copywriter resource for 10 hours in 1 week. When I budget Shane Parker to the designer work in Project 1, 20 hours are subtracted. When I budget Shane Parker to the copywriter work in Project 2, 0 hours are subtracted. "The Available Hours are populated only for the user fulfilling their primary job role on the project. The Available Hours for the user fulfilling their secondary job
