Adobe Workfront

As an admin, I'm frequently asked to add users to the system. I generally will search for a "like" user already in the system and check to see what groups/teams/access level the current user is assigned to, and set up my new user in a similar way. I have "New from Selected Person" available to me from the People/People tab, but I don't necessarily want to set up a filter to allow me to see only the subset of users I want to see. It would be wonderful for admin users to have the option to create a new user from an existing user's details tab.

Currently only personal time off shows on the Scheduling Screen and Working On Calendar. It would be very useful to be able to also see users' non-working days which come from their schedule.

Currently if a user as "Time-Off" booked, they also have to add the hours to their timesheet. It would be good to (at least optionally) be able to have that amount of time-off auto-logged onto their timesheet. I presume this would require you to pre-categorise the Time-Off Hour Type as Vacation/Sick etc.

The current ability in WF is very limited to controlling rates for specific time periods. We need the ability to manages all types of rates & roles for specific time periods. That could be a user hourly cost rate, a role based cost rate, etc.

Hello, It is painful and timely for project owners to investigate project tasks at the detailed level in order to remove projects from timesheets. People are so busy they just don't have the time. It just shouldn't be this complicated. Our organization would like the ability from the my timesheet view to remove a project or tasks, which would override the native rules in Workfront. The pinning feature helps keep the project task on the timesheet, but is ineffective to remove it. Regardless of the project task dates, we'd like to be able to remove the project task or entire project from the timesheet. Thanks! Emily

When a project is current and a team member assigned to a task and updates their time off calendar, project timelines get updated with no notifications sent to the project owner. Can you provide the possible solutions. Build in functionality to notify the project owner the the project time line has been updated. Indicated which task have been updated.Workfront Edit: This idea originally asked for 2 features. The other was a request to build a setting to stop the automatic rescheduling of work based on time off. That Idea is available here: https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSNiAAO/detail

It would be great if timesheets would auto-save whenever you enter time directly on the timesheet.

Need a new notification rule: "Task I am assigned to becomes Ready to Start". It would be very helpful for my users to be notified when a task they are assigned to becomes "Ready to Start"; i.e. moves into the "Ready to Start" section in the "Work Requests" tab. My users often don't know when they can start a task, and then the task sneaks up on them because it is hiding from them in the work requests section.

Tasks that are marked as "canceled" or "100% complete" from the project should clear from "my work". I'd also like to see %complete in my work.

Convert an Issue/Request into Program or Portfolios

In standard project management methodologies, there is no project owner. There is a Project Sponsor & Project Manager. The Project Manager is really the owner of the project. Can you change the 'Project Owner' in all data fields including the project health panel - to Project Manager? I'm sure most project managers would agree!

For purposes of coverage, as well as on larger projects and corporate wide initiatives, to have co-(or more) project managers. We would like the ability to add multiple owners, either within the project owner field or as a separate field for additional owners. This could be structured similarly to assignments, where the first assignee is "primary" but others are recorded and have the same rights to the task.

Not tagging a person on a update and going back and relying to that comment a week later makes it look like the person has been tagged on both comments. It allow a person to come back and say"this person was tagged the whole time" The user should know exactly who was tagged on each individual comment. This will hold people accountable foe tagging the appropriate people at the time of the comment. Attached a snapshot from a ticket I opened. Was asked to put this into Idea Exchange but I think that 18.1 release and before worked differently then it does in 18.2

It would be nice to make updates that you choose to be private with other colleagues and that not everyone can see them until you choose for them to.

I want the document updates to roll up to the parent task / issue and the project. Currently you have to find the correct document to find a particular comment. You can't just look at the project as a whole to find comments made on a document.

The ability to report on the data currently captured in the update feed. For example, we have a need to track when a status was last updated to determine if a project status has gotten stale.

I would like the ability to route custom forms for approval within Workfront. Alternatively also have the option to Print to PDF, particularly when there are multiple custom forms at the project or task level. For example, I am in the process of converting our project charter template from Microsoft Word to a custom form in WF. The idea being, the PM could complete the project charter within WF, route the custom form to the project sponsor for approval and/or comment, all within WF instead of having to do it outside the system. With the Print PDF, you can do this, however, it will print all the custom forms on the project or task and you cannot select one custom form.

Right now, if a custom form is attached to a task, there is nothing that forces the user to fill out the custom form. The task may be completed, without the custom form from being updated. Even if the custom form has required fields. Only when someone edits the custom form, does it require you to fill in the required fields. We have examples of collecting information when we get to certain points in a project. This data is being collected via a custom form on a task. However, the system doesn't force the assigned to user to fill in the custom form. They can close the task without even looking at the custom form tab. As a workaround we have been attaching an approval process to the task, so the PM can verify the information was populated. However, it would be nice to not have to take this extra step.

Having the functionality to copy a custom field will be hugely beneficial to the users in charge of managing the forms and System Administrators. Currently if I, for example, have a dropdown with 100 choices, and want to have a second dropdown with 99 choices, I will have to manually recreate all those 99 choices.

We hadn't used Workstreams before October 2023, when it was removed. Now Workstreams is unavailable to use for us, since we didn't have it in use prior to October. According to Support there is no projected date for a re-release of the Workstream functionality. Our teams would like to use the Workstream functionality. Will there be a replacement or re-release of Workstreams or similar functionality?

Persistent “Open Proof” Button is great but can we add a second persistent button so that “Document Details” also appears. It would minimize the number of clicks and help track where a proof is along the workflow.

Right now, if we are on a Task, and we convert that task into a Project, as soon as we do that, the original task is deleted. The request is the following:We are in Project A, and we have Task number 1.We are in Task Number 1 and convert that Task into Project B.The Task number 1 will remain in Project A.User will update the progress/status of the Project B.Automatically update the progress/status of task 1 in Project A. Regards.

Checked off/actioned comments should be removed from the comment count#. Only new comments on the newest version of a proof should be counted.

Description - Enable / Disable Event Notifications on Subgroups Why is this feature important to you - This will help group admins to customize Event Notifications for all groups they manage, not just the top-level groups. How would you like the feature to work - When the Email Notification is unlocked at the Setup level, the Subgroup level Event Notification would be unlocked as it functions for top-level groups. Current Behaviour - The Event Notification remains locked for subgroups.  

Description - Log actual hours on an editable column view from the project level.Why is this feature important to you - Users could make all edits to a task and log time from the project level view all at once.How would you like the feature to work - Log time for "Actual Hours" column in project view.Current Behaviour - N/A
