Adobe Workfront

Description - Highlight Description field changes (what was added/what was removed) in updates. Why is this feature important to you - This will save users a lot of time when trying to review changes to the Description field How would you like the feature to work - When the text in the Description field is updated, the System Updates section can:Option 1: Record the new text with the old text (combined as one), striking out anything that was removed highlighting it in red, and highlighting anything that was added in green. If colored highlights are not feasible, simply strike out removed text and use bold for added text.  Option 2: Record the system update in two columns, the left being the original text and the right being the new text. In the New Text Column, it would also be great to strike out anything that was removed highlighting it in red and highlighting anything that was added in green. If colored highlights are not feasible, simply strike out removed

Description - There have been times where text on a pie chart is cut off because it's butting up against an edge or another report. Would love to be able to spin the pie chart and lock it's position so no text is truncated. Why is this feature important to you? We have times when long titles are being cut off because of the chart's orientation.How would you like the feature to work - Set the position of the pie, and lock that orientation for viewing.Current Behaviour - When you refresh after spinning the pie chart, it resets the position.

Description -Why is this feature important to you - Since we migrated to the admin console, account provisioning has become significantly more difficult as users now need to click on multiple links in order to access Workfront. How would you like the feature to work - Revert back to former functionality in which a free license is autoprovisioned whenever a new user clicks on any Workfront link. Current Behaviour - Users now need to click on multiple links in order to access Workfront. 

Description: An organization with a single domain should be enabled to separate their products across multiple Administrator Consoles. (Of lower priority, a separate idea is that - once an organization is forced to share products on a single console - there should be a single point of contact at Adobe to help manage shared issues caused by console sharing.) Why is this feature important to you: We are a multinational company with a very distributed organizational structure. The R&D department has little business reason to interact with our Marketing department, for example. The introduction of the console has created a lot of work, the unnecessary need for added coordination, and layers of authorization/access because of the current Console constraint that a domain can only be controlled by one set of primary owners - and those owners are arbitrarily the first group of administrators to have migrated over to the console.  Until the admin console,

Description - We often need to ask the same question more than once on a form, i.e. 'what size flyer is needed?' or something similar for our multi asset requests.Why is this feature important to you - This would help automate the multi asset request process.How would you like the feature to work - allow admins to add the same custom fields to a form without one answer overriding the previous one.Current Behavior - the same exact fields will show the same answer when filled in across all of them.

Description - Can we please add the ability to log hours within a Card in a Board with the Mobile App. Why is this feature important to you - Staff photographers need to log hours to Tasks on the go. Currently this team can't log hours affectively to a Task with the mobile app. This means no adoption of Workfront by the team. How would you like the feature to work - add hours function to a card within a board on the app, just like the web browser version.Current Behaviour - No log hours function on a card in the app. 

DescriptionWe have hundreds of Custom Forms and thousands of Parameters, many of which are referenced in dozens of automations across multiple platforms, both in and not in Fusion. The only tool that is built into Workfront to help us document and govern these objects is the Description field (forms) or the Instructions field (parameters). The absence of a full-featured data dictionary within the platform is very limiting in what and how we are able to document.We would like additional fields on these object types so we can spend less time tracking down all the areas throughout our stack that are impacted by things like changing a parameter name, or deleting a custom form, etc.While we do want the ability to attach custom forms to a wider array of object types (especially including Teams, Roles, Reports and Dashboards), I believe this need is better served by the addition of a few extra system fields on these objects. Doing so will allow us to build our data dictionaries directly in Wo

Description - I have 2 ideas how this could be resolved: 1. Move the entire thread which contains the latest update to the top of the page 2. Create an area at the top of the updates page that would contain the latest message. In a similar fashion like "solution" is highlighted in EXL    Why is this feature important to you - because today latest update is not always at the top, and this requires users to scroll to search for the latest one. How would you like the feature to work - I would want to see the latest update always at the top in the updates thread Current Behaviour - updates are sorted on thread level. This works fine when users don't use "reply" option, but if they do, finding latest message is really hard. Think about e.g. task with 15 updates, all with replies (several of them), and suddenly someone responds to the very first message at the bottom of the thread.... You won't notice that easily. That's huge UX miss 

Description - It would be very helpful to add a widget on the home dashboard for users to track time there, rather than going to the time sheet icon in the menu. Why is this feature important to you - Our team is encouraging users to use their home dashboard daily and it would be nice to have a "one-stop-shop" there. How would you like the feature to work - Definitely a filter feature that can filter on certain project status, priority, etc. Current Behaviour - Our team isn't in favor of having to track time.  I'm looking for any capabilities to encourage time tracking to be easier.

Recently we have had to add a good number of new users and I have found this can be a tiresome process.  The majority of out users fit into a few users types, e.g. ‘Campaign Managers’ who have a plan licence, ‘Internal Stakeholders’ who have a review license etc.  It would be good if we could set up ‘templates’ that contained the default information for a type of user, then we simply add the users email address, first and last name to the template and all other data is added in accordance with the template.  It would also be good if a csv list of email addresses together with first name and last name could be uploaded to a template.

DescriptionA "new" version for "Transport Layer Security (TLS)" has been released in August 2018 already and Fusion is still not supporting it. The new version 1.3 is quicker and safer than the previous one (1.2). Why is this feature important to youThere are tools that require 1.3 to authenticate, which means that we can not use Fusion for automation. This leads to major disruptions in our workflows and makes Fusion unusable in certain use cases.  How would you like the feature to workEnable support for TLS 1.3 for Fusion. It would be best if both versions (1.2 and 1.3) could be selected when using the HTTP module.  Current BehaviourOnly TLS 1.2 supported, hence o automations via HTTP module to tools that require TLS 1.3 can be built.

We are looking for a much more user-friendly way to upload a bunch of issues. Kickstarts are good for initial data loads but not easy for a typical project manager to use in their projects. It'd be great if there was a menu item on the Issues tab that says "Upload Issues" and then allowed the user to select a document (XLS or CSV) to load. We have many instances where our teams will build lists of issues outside of Workfront because it is so slow to do so within the system. However, we require that they track their issues in Workfront. Right now, we have people spending hours manually entering issues from Excel into Workfront. On a related note, the upload should allow for updating existing entries in addition to creating new entries.

The ability to ‘pin’ user guides or user-specific information to the user's homepage would be great.  With the recent developments Adobe have completed for us it would have been good to add guides for users to the homepage but I noticed that the pin function will only allow the pinning of Workfront objects, e.g. ‘Projects’, ‘Issues’ etc, and that specifically pinning documents, just pins the ‘Documents’ section of Workfront, where I believe pinning individual documents would be much more beneficial to users.

I would like to have the ability to add a document upload section as a field choice in a custom form, so I can add that functionality anywhere within the form, and also be able to add display & skip logic, as well as the option to make it a required field. Why? Because we have several project types that are being entered into the Workfront system, and for some of the larger projects, we want to make sure that a creative brief is attached, as well as make this field required for certain project types, while optional for others. ‚

On a recent Ultimate Success call I mentioned that I was concerned about the ease with which it is possible to delete or alter custom forms.  This came of the back of Case Number 00425051 - Accidental deletion of custom form - undelete request, where I had accidentally deleted one of our teams custom forms.  When custom forms are deleted we are required to contact support to get them undeleted, which seems like a step that could be avoided.  As a result I would like to suggest one of the following:          Confirm deletion pop up         Ability to undelete from the system admin settings menu         Custom forms having a ‘lock’ that requires and extra step to unlock I believe any of the above would have prevented me from deleting the custom form.  In another incident recently a staff member with Admin access altered a cus

Description -Bynder offers a UCV (Universal Compact Viewer) that would allow users to seamlessly access content stored in Bynder without leaving the Workfront experience. We wish to enable this feature in Workfront as we build out our asset management capabilities through fusion this quarter. Why is this feature important to you - As we build out our 360 content experience with Workfront as the backbone, we need a way to provide a more integrated experience for our users working with assets stored in our Bynder DAM and reusing or editing these existing assets throughout Workfront templates. How would you like the feature to work - In document tab, include Bynder DAM as a library, similar to Sharepoint connector and have UCV pop upCurrent Behaviour - Not supported

It would be great if there was a way to archive old programs and portfolios that we are not currently using/doing business with. It would really help keep our system clean and accurate. We have so many old programs that it becomes messy. For example, we have "2015 incremental", "2015 retainer", "2015 investments", etc under one single portfolio. We no longer use the 2015 programs since we are in 2017 now. We still want to be able to see the history of these programs and clients and projects, just want a way to archive them or deactivate them. Would also be nice to have the ability to reactivate them if we need to use them again. Similar to how you can deactivate and reactivate an employee. Would be nice for Admin users to have the ability to "clean up" and audit our information in Workfront.

Description - Allow Resource Managers to update the Time Off Calendar for any team member in their group. Why is this feature important to you - Need to block user's calendars for upcoming work. Ideally it should be for a specific project, but sometimes the timing of the project task and when the time needs to be block don't always coincide.How would you like the feature to work - Resource Manager should have access to any member in their assigned group (even if not the reporting manager) to edit their Time Off Calendar.Current Behaviour - Currently, only reporting managers are allowed to edit the team member Time Off Calendar. We are currently using the Time Off Calendar to block the user's calendar, then removing it afterward so it doesn't reflect as time out.

We try to use the Updates section in Workfront in place of email. However, WF lacks functionality in two areas: text input & attachments. Text: there is no strikethrough ability (among others). This is good to have when discussing bodies of text to edit.Attachments: WF allows for picture file attachment, which is very handy. However, it doesn’t allow for Word file attachment. Yes, there are other places to load up files, but switching over to other pages & copying/pasting links is slower, and it adds up over time. Please consider adding these, as it's difficult enough to steer people away from email and into WF.

Workfront is very difficult to use for general planning if there are many job roles set up.  This is always the case in large organisations.  Finding the right job role is time consuming when the list is long.  Most project managers start their project management activities using a role based plan as they do not know the actual team members. I would like to see the following: Ability to choose the list of role types that apply to the project - this may hence only be 10 - 15 roles.Project 'switch' to allow roles to be selected just from the project role list and not the overall company role list.When resource assignments are made the role types will then just be the small subset selected.  Allow the user to select from this list rather than having to start typing the role name. This needs introducing asap as most users of Workfront in my company find the current approach very awkward tio use.

Description -With the ability to now toggle the sections of a custom form open or closed, we would like a button or something that allows us to change all sections to open without multiple clicks.  We have a form with many sections and it would be easy to miss if someone collapsed a section. It would be nice to have the ability to open all at once.   Current Behaviour - Currently can collapse each section separately, but no way to open them by one click.

Couple of administrative ideas to enhance reporting prompts1. Add ability to use custom field labels instead of just the name or have an option to provide a custom prompt name for the report.Why?  This would provide a much better user experience for fields where the label needed to be adjusted but the field name could not be changed (e.g. fusion integration).   Additionally, this could support potentially better help text specifically when dealing with text search fields. 2. Ability to sort the prompts instead of deleting and reselecting the fields.  Why?   Administratively this would be more efficient with changes in reports and prompting that inevitably occurs.  

Description - Excluding External Users from @ Commenting Feature Drop Down Why is this feature important to you - Commenting in WF is for internal users only. External users should not receive updates from Internal users in Workfront. We would like to remove the option to select them when using the @ comment feature. We do not want our clients to receive internal information. How would you like the feature to work - When using the @ comment feature in Commenting/Updates, we would like for only internal users to be included in the address book/drop down when you start typing their name.  Current Behaviour - Right now when using the @ comment feature, if you start typing a users name, the address book includes both internal and external users. This leaves room for sending an update to external/clients by mistake. Which could cause clients to receive internal information that they should not be receiving. 

Please add a notification option for Tasks / Issues I own, just like Projects I Own.The below options are helpful for a PM, but they fall short when it comes to request management. The commit date changes for a task on one of my projectsThe commit date changes for an issue on one of my projectsRequesters should have direct visibility to new proposed commit dates. Right now these updates are routed to the Project Owner which is often irrelevant for Request Queues. People requesting the work should be notified (or have the option to be notified) when someone proposes a new commit date. Right now our users have to manually create an update, type something and select the new commit date. It's a waste of time vs just updating the commit date.

There should be a way to track changes that are made on tasks in a task report. It would be even better if you can make them specific. For example, track how many times the due date was moved, check how many times the tasks were reassigned, etc.
