Did You Know? Basic Text Mode Filters for Beginners At Workfront, we are passionate about creating real solutions that provide you with a better, more productive work experience. The next several blogs will focus on a topic you asked for — basic text mode for beginners. Why Text Mode: Text mode unleashes the full power of Workfront reporting capabilities; unlocking your data in ways that make more business sense to your organization - for example, by combining columns, or accessing a wider variety of fields, including your custom fields.   This week we’re sharing some introductory notes, along with a few examples of text mode for filters. Text mode is the programming language used to create reports in Workfront. Although you may not realize it, each time you add a filter to a report, text mode is applied in the background. The clean user-friendly interface of the Report Builder was designed for people like you and I, who don’t have programming e

I want to select only 'Queue Properties & Issue Setup' when attaching the project template using Fusion.What should I enter in the 'Options' field in the Fusion module?

I love to see the back and forth, full story of review rounds so we can identify bottlenecks directly through tasks, but it is more admin / tasks to work through. How do you prefer to structure you review rounds? Similar detail, more agile open ended Create Design // Receive Approval tasks?    My preference: Create Design and Send Proof Receive Changes Create Design V2 and Send Proof Receive Changes Create Design V3 and Send Proof Receive Final Approval

Hi All,I've got a Workfront webhook as the first module of a Fusion scenario. The scenario is meant to run when the Home Team of an active Workfront user is updated - but it's not working.Here's how it's configured:Record type: User State: New state Filters: HomeTeamID Changed AND IsActive EQUAL true AND connection updates included Record Origin: Updated Record OnlyWhen I update an active user's Home Team, the webhook is not called so the scenario does not run.I did some testing and figured that the issue is caused by the filter IsActive EQUAL true.If I create a webhook withouth that filter, it just works fine. (Obviously it is also called when an inactive user's Home Team is updated - which is not what I want.)Record type: User State: New state Filters: HomeTeamID Changed AND connection updates included Record Origin: Updated Record Only Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this filter?Thank you,Tibor

If a user completes their part of a multi-person assigned task, that user's full planned hours still shows in Workload Balancer, even when the settings for show completed work is turned off. I guess this is since the task isn't fully complete that time is still showing. Is there any way to prevent time from showing in workload balancer for the user who has completed their portion of a task, when the task is still open due to other's outstanding work? Thanks

Once the request queue is submitted along with a few custom forms, we need to restrict any further modifications to the custom form fields. A business rule logic should be implemented to ensure that only the custom forms are restricted post-submission, while other fields such as overview, status, etc., can still be edited

Brand new to Workfront and learning the different complexities of the reporting.  Is it possible to create a report (or view) that only shows Programs that do not have a project with the word "Planogram" within it? I believe I'll need to use Text Mode for creating this filter, but wasn't successful when I used the below.  EXISTS:A:1:project:ID=FIELD:IDEXISTS:A:1:project:name_Mod=notcontainsEXISTS:A:1:project:name=planogram Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Have any of you that might be on the Ultimate license term used or experimented with Business Rules (underneath Setup)?  I have found it can be a good tool, like a Swiss Army knife, to use in situations where you might not think of a solution.  I'll share a few instances below that have been useful for our firm and would love to hear how others utilize the function.   Users not attaching document to request - users were forgetting to attach docs (think brief) to requests and just submitting, making it difficult to supporting teams to know what was needed.  A business rule was created that looked at that project request queue and to see if the has Documents=false on the request.  False means no docs on the request so when user clicks Submit the request doesn't submit and they get a red banner message telling them to include document for submission...attach a document and the submission goes through. Assure an answer in a section of a form - we have a

What (The Issue):We’re creating a proofing report to track proofs that are taking the longest to get approved. As part of the report, we’ve added a calculated field called “Total Number of Days”, which shows the number of days from the proof’s creation date to its approval date.However, we’re running into a problem: we can’t sort this field when using text mode, as sorting doesn’t seem to behave correctly.Why (The Goal):The goal is to highlight proofs with the longest approval times at the top of the report. This would help stakeholders quickly identify bottlenecks and take action. Sorting by the total number of days is a key part of making this report useful.How (The Challenge / Request):Since we’re using text mode to customize the report, it seems to be blocking standard sorting functionality, especially for calculated fields like “Total Number of Days.”We're looking for suggestions, workarounds, or best practices to enable sorting on this calculated field while still using text mode

Our team is a small Marketing team, and we have a need for an all-inclusive Content Calendar (screenshot below) that can show:Spans of campaign in-market time (not working on the project time, but actual in-market/after launch time)Individual Launch dates for items like social posts, email sends, blog posts, PR posts, etc.I've done my best to solve 50% of this (the individual launch dates) by using little emoji's in each "Launch" task in a Project Timeline, so that it auto-populates on our Calendar. However, I have not been able to figure out a way to automate the spans of the dates that a campaign is in-market. It's making me crazy. For now, I'm manually adding them, but I'd love to fix that.How are you doing this, if you are?? Or, even if you have something similar, bring it on! I'd love to see how others do this, and any ideas you have around naming convention, automating the tasks to the calendar, etc.  Any and all input/ideas are appreciated!!  

Hi Guys,seeking help here,I want to color the value using textmode, scenario: if Aging Days value is greater than SLA Value, color it red.how to insert a code to an existing code?here is the existing code in the "Aging Days" column.Thanks,   

I've added company days off to our default schedule, but there is nothing stopping users from assigning work to be done on days the company has off. For instance - we are closed tomorrow and Wednesday, but I am able to change planned completion dates to those dates without so much as a warning. Is this normal? Is there a way to show that the company is closed on these days when assigning out tasks? Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am a classic waterfall PM and Workfront Admin. About a year ago I started using the Workfront Kanban functionality to track and move forward some web governance work. Recently my company paid for me to attend some general scrum training, and I just received my PSM 1 certification.  I would love to connect with someone who is currently using scrum within their marketing department. I have some questions about how you define products; your cross-functional team make up and how Workfront plays a role in your documentation.

I'm trying to add either the name of the person who originally made a request, the field would be an Issue Primary Content or the Requested By, on a document report. Does anyone have insight on how to do this?

Anyone know how to report on the dates that a user volunteers to work on a task? Specifically, when a user clicks "Work on it" from the task window of a task that is assigned to a team. I'm trying to show how many tasks a user volunteers for each week.  In the system activity log, the post says "Christine Quick volunteered to work on this". But I can't find a "volunteered date" in the reporting options.  I tried Task > Handoff date, Assigned to > Date Issued, Task > Actual start date, but received no results.  Any help is appreciated!

Hi!! We're looking to pull custom field dates and checkboxes from the Project Custom forms, into a Custom TASK form to avoid the team looking back and forth. We've tried calculated fields, but they are showing "N/A" and all the solutions on Experience League seem outdated. Hoping someone is able to help or solve this!!

Workfront Planning Users - I need help! I have created a record type in Planning, and also created a request form for it. The required (not removeable) "Subject" field in the form, does not show up in the record when someone submits a new request. How do I get it to show up?It's odd to me that there is a Name field that can't be removed from the record or mapped to the subject field, which also can't be removed from the request form, but also is not visible in the record. Anyone figured this out? Thanks!!
