Description -Why is this feature important to you - So earlier we used Confluence JIRA for tracking our tasks. In it we had a dashboard with Calendar, our tasks, status of tasks chart in one dashboard. Calendar report feature addition in Canvas dashboard will give anyone a quick snapshot what's due in a month or a week really quick without checking the details of it. We as a team/ group, certainly missing this feature to be added in the Canvas Dashboard (which is customisable in terms of layout and resizing). Standard Dashboard though have the option to add calendar in it however, it's not customisable and resizable.How would you like the feature to work - We are able to add the Calendar Report in a Canvas Dashboard which has blobs (thick vertical bars of the tasks due on the particular day of a month - for e.g. say 5 tasks are due on 25 Sep'24 there must be 5 blobs, i.e., thick vertical line; say there is 1 task due on 28 Sep so one blob visible)Current Behaviour - Currently, calendar

ISSUE: PROOF FUNCTIONALITY TAKES FILES OUT OF SOURCE FORMATWhen using the proofing functionality, anything besides a PDF (e.g., Word DOC, Figma FIG, Powerpoint PPT) all get converted to a PDF therefore losing the working file so the agency must continually take feedback from a PDF and go back to the source document (Word DOC, Powerpoint PPT, etc). and reincorporate the feedback, creating room for error and missed feedback versus accepting, declining changes etc. Conversations about the document are essentially happening outside of the working file when we use proofs, creating additional work for the agency team.This creates a scenario where the agency is Referencing to “printed” PDFs to manually cross-transfer comment input back into source document creating risk because the team is working in multiple filesImpact: High impact for all projects, high risk for errors, creating additional work for project management and creativeIdeal solve: documents uploaded as a proof would re

Description - Ability to update the project template association on a projectWhy is this feature important to you - We have built a lot of our content operations reporting based on the project template associate (asset type). How would you like the feature to work - We are currently working on a thought leadership piece that we initially thought was going to be a blog, so we leveraged out blog project template. The content has evolved and is now a full blown Viewpoint piece, which uses a different set of tasks to get to done. So, now the asset type on this piece will not appear correct in any of our content reports. Current Behaviour - We originally created this project: https://experience.adobe.com/#/@cgi/so:cgi-Production/workfront/project/66463d4f00258653b6af4b0d132cfb31/tasks originally using our Blog project template but it's now a Viewpoint. So, this Viewpoint (now) reports as a Blog, even though it's no longer a blog. We now have to create a new project and hope i

We would like to see an option that the whole project is read only after it's completed so new comments can't be left unless the project is reopened by an admin. We have had several users that go into a completed project and want to make changes so they leave a comment in the updates and/or on the proofs and just expect us to know they did that, without any tagging. 

I have noticed that a "Rejection comment" field is available in the Hour schema, but at this time there is no way to add this comment through Workfront interface; this has been confirmed to me by a Workfront support representative. We can add the field in a view, but users have no way to enter information in it! In my company the ability to add a rejection comment is important for the timesheet/hour approval process, and now users are forced to add information to the hour description, mixing the rejection comment with the hour description entered by the hour owner, which is far from the ideal situation.It would be enough to add a textarea in the hour edit window, since it seems that the Workfront database already has the field available, so this should not be a very time-consuming feature to add.Thanks for your attention!Andrea Benfenati

We would love the ability to limit smart assignments on tasks to only users who have Work/Plan licenses. All of our review/request users also pop up as suggestions, which clutters the smart assignments and sometimes leads to mistakes as the wrong person gets chosen easily. They often even pop up as the first and/or second option where Work/Plan users get pushed down the list. This would speed up time assigning tasks and minimize room for error in assigning an incorrect person.  Thank you! 

Current Behaviour -Presently, when sharing a proof, the proof appears as though it is coming from the user who shares it, as it inserts their email in the 'from' and 'reply-to' sections.How would you like the feature to work -We want better control over the headers and bodies of emails leaving Workfront proof, especially around the 'from' and 'reply-to' fields. This needs to allow us to use proof's email sharing as a 'no-reply' address.Why is this feature important to you -The current method of working increases administrative burden on our teams, as external users respond to the emails directly, rather than adding their comments to the proofs. It also limits who can share proofs with a client, as having non client facing users uploading/sharing proofs can cause confusion, especially if email replies are sent directly to them.

Description - Within the existing Board design, the Intake column does not display the Due date of the Task or Issue on the face of the card until it is brought into a main column. Nor is that column sortable by any of the same options supported for the rest of the columns that have been created, even as a partial solution. This makes it a barrier to user adoption, as they have no way to understand what is being asked of them first without opening each card in the Intake column to find the information. Why is this feature important to you - For any team or individual trying to manage their workflow on a Board, the ability to quickly understand 'what is being asked for first'? is critical to the usability of the Boards. Without that easy visibility, teams may prioritize discussions about items that are not as time sensitive as something later in the list. For any team or individual with more than a handful of work requests, this is simply unrealistic to expect and they are switchin

Description - Currently when viewing the blueprint page you are shown an "install" button and a "details" button. Upon first glance it appears as though this hasn't been downloaded to the system yet. The only way to find out that the Blueprint was installed is to click the "details" button which isn't intuitive for some end users.  Why is this feature important to you - Users are requesting downloads of objects that have already been implemented and don't have a way to see that easily. This causes duplicate work for system administrators. How would you like the feature to work - Instead of "install", once it's installed change the button to something else or add a new button. Current Behaviour - have to click into details to see that it's been downloaded.      

ISSUE:  WF proofing functionality does not allow for a PPT document to be uploaded as a proof and both the slide and the speaker notes content be visible and commentableThis creates a scenario where the agency has to upload 2 versions of a PPTV1 - PPT simply as a document, not a proof, that is just for viewing the deck in full view and sizeV2 - PPT saved as a PDF in “Notes Version” with a thumbnail of the slide and speaker notes showingAll comments are requested to be put into the proof “notes version” for trackingImpact: High impact for all projects, high risk for errors, creating additional work for project management and creativeIdeal solve: A way to upload PPT as a proof that did not need to be converted to a “notes version” where both could be seen and commented on without a change in format 

Description - Bubble data with similar data points in bubble charts overlay on each other, making it impossible to read the writings on the bubbles and distinguish between them in any way. Why is this feature important to you - users need to be able to read the informaiton shown on the charts. Otherwise the chart is of no use. How would you like the feature to work - I would like the writings of informaiton on the chart be readable clearly and if two items have similar/close data they be distinguishable on the chart, at least after clicking on the bubbles. Current Behaviour - It is impossible to read the bubble on the bubble chart; writing shows as many words written on top of each other and scratchy. 

Description - Bubble Chart Reports Groupings that are custom statuses should show the custom status label(name) and not the system default one. Why is this feature important to you - Presenting different names for statuses creates confusion among report audiences. How would you like the feature to work - Chart Reports Groupings that are custom statuses should should show the custom status label(name) and not the system default one. Current Behaviour - Chart Reports Groupings that are custom statuses show the system default status name rather than the custom status name..

ISSUE: PROOF DOWNLOAD/PRINT FUNCTIONALITY – FORMAT OF COMMENTSAgency Project Managers are the gate keepers of the feedback, ensure all feedback is in and actionable, then download to share with the creative and strategy teams for next stepsThe issue is that neither version available for download using the “print” function are ideal for feedback review – and we end up pulling both versions down and our creative & strategy teams manually toggle between both to transcribe feedback back into the source document. Below are the issues with the different formats:Proof > Print > Print as PDF: Challenging to read. Lengthy comments stack on top and it is hard to see final direction. Comment thread numbers are referenced in comments, but not visible in this view. When comments are not tagged to a specific spot they float. This version takes a significant amount of time to arrive in Outlook inbox and often causes delay.Proof > Print > Standard print (Green Button): Challenging to r

Description - When filter of a chart report is changed through the Details tab, only the data in the Details tab of the report updates and not the data shown on the chart. Why is this feature important to you - Report tabs show different data. How would you like the feature to work - When filter of a chart report is changed through the Details tab, the data show in the chart should change as well. Current Behaviour - When filter of a chart report is changed through the Details tab, only the data in the Details tab of the report updates and not the data shown on the chart.

Description - Have an option for a soft exception to include code freezes, holiday weeks, and other annual periods where resource availability for project work is limited.Why is this feature important to you - It will help my organization track task dates and avoid having task dates when many are out of office or focusing on operational work. Task dates get pushed out and there is no current way to "warn" a PM that the new go live or deliverable is scheduled to deploy during a code freeze or holiday week.How would you like the feature to work - Dates can be entered as a "soft exception" in a schedule to be assigned to a group. For IT we would enter code freeze dates. If a task start or end date is assigned during that "soft exception" the PM will be notified or the date will be highlighted to let the PM know they may want to review that date. This will be a soft exception since not all projects are impacted by code freezes and holidays.Current Behaviour - There is currently no visibili

The My Work area separated out what you yourself have to approve and what you have submitted to others for approval. Currently, there is no functionality to support our teams as a reminder for what they have sent out for approval. Please bring this feature to the new Home area. Please also add 10,000 upvotes to this on behalf of my team. Thanks. :)

Description - like MS Project, right-click a field name to hide/show any field.  Without the need to go to a separate page to create and save a new view. Why is this feature important to you - I often want to see or hide a particular field and the only way I can do that right now is by creating a new view entirely.  It's so many more button clicks that I don't bother.  I want to be able to see the info I need at any given time as fast as possible, without leaving the page I'm on or having to create an entirely new object. How would you like the feature to work - right-click.  Like in MS Project. Current Behaviour - You have to create a new view entirely.

Our users were noting that the order number on the agile(scrum) backlog is skipping numbers (see attached). After some investigating, it appears the missing order numbers are tied to tasks on projects with a On Hold status. I did some testing in our Sandbox and this behavior appears to be the same with a Dead project status. In the cases where projects are put on hold, I would assume the stories are taken out of the backlog order sequence and then added to the bottom of the backlog if and when the project becomes active again. This is even more critical with Dead project status. Dead is a final status and if those order numbers are tied to those tasks forever, then the order sequence will always be off. REF Support Case 00409919

It would be nice if we didn't have to create 3 copies of each forms, so that when a form is filled out during a queue, the data in the form automatically carries over when the issue it creates is converted to a task or project. Currently, we have to create 3 versions (issue/task/project) of each form, and then the supervisor doing the conversion/assignment of an issue to a staff member, has to ensure they are adding the task or project version of the form when they convert that issue and assign the task, so that the data the person input during the queue process isn't lost.

Currently, group admins aren't able to assign layout templates to a role or team. They can do it by user and group only. This feature is important to allow group admins to use this functionality to manage layouts by roles or team in the group they support. It would be ideal to work very similar to how it does for system admins.  

Description -In the past, there was the capability to select "Private to my company" in the side panel "Summary" view of an update. That was removed in the latest release.Why is this feature important to you - Our team uses "private to my company" frequently when communicating in Workfront. Having this capability in this view is was an easier and quicker user experience.How would you like the feature to work - Similar to how it was prior to this recent release.Current Behaviour - The option is no longer available. Nerw comment threads started in this view are viewable to all.

Description - Add more default system fields to the setting of the portfolio optimization tool. Why is this feature important to you - I need to be able to show particular projects fields and be able to filter by project fields too, since each field represents a special project characteristic. How would you like the feature to work - I want to be able to show particular projects fields and be able to filter by project fields too, to present/filter special project characteristics. Current Behaviour - Default fields that are available to show on the page through the setting are very limited and I need to create calculated custom fields of the default fields to show in the tool which is extremely redundant and needless since the field already exists but is just not accessible through the tool. Also, filters that can be set on the page are very limiting and only work on status.

Description - It would be great to be able to reorder the columns order in the filter area. Why is this feature important to you - Sometimes we need to reorder the columns in the view. How would you like the feature to work - When in the portfolio optimization tool, I would like to be able to reorder the columns in the view from the settings\filter area without having to delete all the columns and add them again in the order that I wish. Current Behaviour - I am aware that I can drag and drop columns in the order I wish; however, every time I do that and I add a new column from the settings the order is reset to what it shows in the setting and there is no way for me to reorder them in the settings except if I delete them all and add them again in the order I wish. This is very time consuming and honestly does not make sense why it is programmed this way.

We would like to have the option to color code cards on a Board, similar to how we can apply conditional formatting to tasks in the List view of a project. Having this option would allow our users to quickly see task statuses, categories, etc. without having to read the card text. It could work similarly to how conditional formatting is applied in the List view, by having the option to apply a specific "view" to the board overall.  

Hello, within a Workfront project there is the ability to minimize the parent task with the carat so that it pulls in all of the tasks below it and hides them within the minimized task. This helps to make the project smaller and hide the amount of tasks that are in there in order to navigate to the tasks that are still open. When logging out of Workfront, it removes the tabs that you minimized in each project forcing you to have to go and click all of those again in order to make the project more manageable. For example, if there are 5 months of content that you are providing to a client, and you want to minimize the first 3 months of it since you are already done with those tasks, this makes the project smaller so you can quickly look at the tasks that are still remaining. I would love for there to be a way to "Pin" the parent tasks after you minimize them so that every time you enter the project it is easier to navigate within it, instead of having to manually minimize the
