Adobe Workfront

I've there's very little navigation available when viewing an Idea Exchange's post. It would be nice to see the post name up in the breadcrumb (below the workfront banner) and a hyperlink to the post on the same page. Copying the current url when viewing a post may not be suitable as it could have been a link to a specific comment and not the base post. I did notice a permalink option is available on comments, but not the post.

When adjusting reports in the text-mode, there is no feedback or even any error messages when a report is written wrong. Historically I've had to brute force trial and error until I've gotten a particular report to work. It's bad enough that the documentation for text-mode reporting columns to be sketchy, but worse yet if there is an error the column just goes blank in the report. We've talked to workfront directly and they've said that they will not add this as it is not "on their roadmap", but better support for simple formulas in the reports seems like an important feature.

It would be great if we can set colors on the chart reports in report builder. Having different colors for the same field on different reports is causing confusion for the users.

I'd like to see the charts fill the height of the browser. They already fill the width, which is great. I think it would be even better for the chart, not on a dashboard, to expand to the size of the browser window. There's a lot of empty white space, especially on vertical bars charts.

This post has been closed as a duplicate. All votes have been moved to the original: Customise emails notifications! We should be able to brand outbound emails. Right now workfront puts their logo on outbound emails and we have to explain this away for all of our clients, we believe we should be able to brand emails just like we can brand the workfront web page with our logo.

Personal Address is PII, Work Address is Internal Use. Therefore, we use Work Addresses on User Profiles. The ability to mass update the address field would be extremely helpful so we could quickly populate the data for multiple users at a time who all work in the same building.

This post has been closed as a duplicate. All votes have been moved to the original: Ability to Export Custom Forms It would be very helpful to have a print option on the custom forms. We regularly need to attach completed custom forms to committee packets and currently we have to do a right click or a print screen to get a pdf of the completed form and that doesn't look very professional.

In a business environment where users access projects across Portfolios but need Layout Templates to be different depending on the portfolio assigned, allow Layout Templates to be configured so that the layout selected will change based on a project's assigned Portfolio/Program.

I would like the ability to bulk convert issues to tasks and keep the original requestor. Use case (software development): after regression testing cycle, many issues are released into production. We move the open issues as tasks to the backlog but currently have to do them one by one. I would like the ability to convert them in bulk AND keep the original requestor on the task. Currently when you convert, it makes the person converting the issue the requestor.

I've posted this in the Projects Site as well as the Documents Site Some projects are very in depth and have multiple document layers. Once our users get 5/6 levels down, there isn't a great way to go back a step or two without hitting the back button. The breadcrumb option that they have is either for the Project as a whole or even the portfolio its listed under. This creates additional work for our project managers, as they're having to navigate through the project longer than necessary.

I do like the Admin "Log In As" feature but there is a big downfall to using this - it counts the Admin as the "User" logging in. My leadership likes to look at the users & Last Log in Dates, but I can no longer provide this report since it is not accurate. ex: Admin John Doe, uses the Log in As to check something on Jane Smith's account. Jane Smith last logged in on 6/1/2015. The Admin logged in on 12/31/2016 (using Log In As). If I produced a Last Log In report, it will show that Jane Smith logged in on 12/31/16, when she actually logged in on 6/1/2015.

It would be very helpful if I could format the updates I am posting to make it easier to read. Things like bold text, bullet points or underline would help.

When opening a project we see a list of Tasks. The list includes a Task #, Task Name, Assignments, etc. When we open one of the Tasks, we see the Task name but not he Task number. It would be nice to include the Task # in the Header when the Task is opened.

When creating a proof, there's an option to attach a custom message to the people its being shared with and sent to for approval. This is good for explaining what the document is, vital information, and why approval is required. However, there is no option to attach a custom message when sharing and requesting approval after the proof is generated. There's still a way to share and have approval statuses but there isn't an option for a message to be attached. This would be an easy and great improvement.

Our Creative Studio wanted to setup an automated reminder/notification to send a customer satisfaction survey link to their clients on completion of a project/job. As of right now, we can setup Notifications/Reminders to be sent automatically 1 day after the project/issue is completed, but this would be for all projects and issues in WorkFront (we have an entire division using it). After speaking with Riley at Customer Support, a potential solution could be doing it by projects/issues assigned to a home team will have the reminder turned on for it. This way we can have an automated reminder based on: a) Issues assigned to Home Team - Creative Studiob) Sent on Actual Completion Date (1 Day after)c) Sent to "Entered By" on the issued) Using email template - Survey Link

Hello, Now that the "New look for Communication emails" have been released. I have had many users complain about how they dislike it and would love to revert back to the old style. I would love for a way, as a system admin to control that globally or to have users be able to control which type of communication that they can receive within their own settings. Thanks, Al

For example, if someone sets up a task as a "checklist" item that they use to remind them to create an equivalent request in a queue, you should be able to resolve an task from an issue, not just the other way around. Same could go for a project if the final step is to submit a request.

Sometimes there are Projects that "belong" in more than one Portfolio, for instance we have a Publication Portfolio and all ad projects belong there, but an ad project may also be associated with a specific Product Launch Campaign. We have to choose which to keep whole, instead of being able to keep it listed in both.

It would be great if we could save off a set of filters for a report to reuse them on other reports. The use case is that once we identify the criteria (sometimes upwards of 5-6 things) they then need to be applied to all reports. It would be great if I could save off the criteria as a package and be able to apply it to multiple reports as opposed to having to go into each report and apply all the filters. We have about 20 reports that all have the same filter criteria. It will also help make updating criteria easier. As we are about to move into a new fiscal year, we need to update all of the 20 reports with the new fiscal year. If we could save a package of criteria, I could make the update in one place and have it cascade automatically to all of the projects using that criteria package.

Our UAT team members have requested a "Skip to the bottom" button on the Updates tab. They generally come into a project at the tail end and they like to go through the all of the updates to get a feel for what has been done. It help them get to the oldest update and then work their way to the newest, having a "Skip to the bottom" would help; especially on projects with a lot of updates.

Right now emails are truncated if an update (note) on an issue/task is greater than 10 lines OR 796 characters. On top of that the (...) indicator that tells you there's more of a message left is WAY too small if you could fix that it would help tremendously as a stop gap for this problem. Our clients work 100% over email and if one of our employees sends an update with too many characters our clients miss the email and are left confused. This is a negative experience and there's no reason workfront shouldn't just leave all of the text intact in the email notification. Who cares if there's a lot of text there, our employees decided it was necessary to write out that long of a note I don't think that's something workfront should decide.

I understand this isn't easy due to custom request queues etc., but it would be awesome if you could type /wf requests in slack and it'd give you the list of requests queues you have available. Then you'd select the request queue, and it'd give you the forms that you need to fill in just like in workfront. We live in slack, and this would be slick to tell people just to use this slash command. Instead, we use the mobile app/website. I"m a bit afraid of the anti-pattern of someone going /wf add issue "help me" and adding it to our request queue projects, but this hasn't been an issue.

RATHER THAN HAVING END USER TO TYPE IN INFORMATION AND FILL OUT REGULAR STANDARD SURVEYS

Our agency utilizes multiple rate schemes. For each role we have: Agency Default Rate Portfolio Specific Rate (in contract) Portfolio Specific Rate (incremental) optimally we would be able to set the hourly rate by role for the agency, then at the portfolio level add the portfolio specific contracted and incremental rates. So when running portfolio reports / portfolio optimizations the Cost Analysis shows what is accurate for that specific portfolio. While i know that we can affect the rates at the project level it's such a challenge to manage at the specific project when it would be better if we could apply it globally
