Adobe Workfront

Interested in how to implement Workfront Planning and scale the solution across your organization for a holistic view of every stage of work? Our Adobe Product Managers, @soniaespejo and @vazgen_babayan presented an in-depth introductory session on Workfront Planning, where they shared how this feature can provide comprehensive visibility into the operational details of your organization.    NOTE: We had an issue with our event recording, but Vazgen re-recorded his demo for us. Linked below! The good news is that we have their slides, along with all of the fantastic Q&A and chat that was posted during the event:  Slide Deck PDF (slides shared by Vazgen/Sonia)  Generic slides with events and resources    Chat engagement / Q&A  Vazgen’s Excel Template Example – attached (this is just an example how you can import Record Types into Workfront Planning.  For more information, check out the article on how to create Record Types

I would like to prompt project owners to provide a final status update when changing a project status to Dead, Rejected, Completed, or On Hold so I can report the 'why' in a dashboard.  Is there a way to do this in Workfront or is a Fusion scenario required?

Hi WF Community,   I'd like to do the following, when creating a new calculated field on a project form, and wondering how to go about it:   Create a calculated field called ABC on a task form Create a calculated field called XYZ on a project form that aggregates field ABC from all related tasks I'm uncertain how to reference fields from a child object. Thanks, Nick  

Hi Community,I needed to group a report chart by "Home Team Name" and found a previous page to help me do that by creating the value on custom form and using that to group on. That's great and works BUT.....For deactivated accounts, the value is blank ("No Value"), but the data is still needed on the report.Does anyone know how to include the Home Team from deactivated accounts please?ThanksMatt

I've got a scenario which is supposed to run every 5 minutes (Watch Events), but I see in the history that it runs at almost random times, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 10 or 20, or it can be hours between runs. What could be causing this?

HI All - I'm trying to use validation logic to prevent a task from being completed, UNLESS the user has completed the task's custom form drop downs. Id simply like the system to notify the task-assignee that the form fields need to be filled out in order to complete the task. Any suggestions?

Hi All,the Q2 2025 release notes mention the new event subscriptions version. This article describes the differences between the legacy and new version.And the list of the Workfront Fusion modules describes (not vey detailed) how you can switch between the versions:This suggests that you can change/set/manage the subscription version for each of your scenarios separately.I did some testing today and my findings don't confirm this.I found that:The module "Update Events Payload Version" needs to be run only once, to set the desired version. (As opposed to being included in the scenario each time when it's running.)More importantly, when the module runs, it sets the desired version for ALL your scenarios, not just for 1 specific scenario. (I confirmed this by checking my subsriptions' data using a custom HTTP call to the subscriptions endpoint.)So it seems irrelevant which of your scenarios includes the module. You could create a new scenario just to hold the "Update Events Payload Versio

In the WF instance I manage, users are allowed to log time directly on projects. However there is one project where we only want time logged to tasks. Any ideas for limiting the objects users can log time to (in this case: tasks on a specified project), when the instance is configured to allow time logged directly to projects? 

I have a report for proof approvers (regulatory, legal & brand) that is pinned on their dashboards and keeps them on track for what is pending and gives them quick access to click the links and review & approve when they have time. However sometimes they are reviewers rather than approvers. I don't get that option on the filters. Is there a way I can add that?

We have a master project we call a campaign and we create requests under it that will become the campaign tactics.I  have a scenario I'm working on that copies the documents  from the the master to each request as they are created.Problem is since the master documents folder lists the original documents and then all the documents of the request as they are added,each new request gets dupes uploaded to it.  Is there a way to test if the document already exist before it is uploaded? Any suggestions appreciated.ThanksFrank 

We have a flow that is parsing text from an Outlook Email using the HTML to Text parser which works fine, then taking that and using the Get Elements from Text module with Key Value Pairs.  This is spliiting up the body correctly except in cases where the title uses special characters.  The item below would read in as Multidisciplinary Center and drop everyting after the special character occurs.  What do I need to do to get it to read the special characters? Multidisciplinary Center (MDC) Medical History  Item Name: Multidisciplinary Center (MDC) Medical History

Hello, Is there a way in Fusion to create an Update/Note on a Project which tags all of the assigned Users and Teams?I did some searching but couldn't find an answer Thanks in advance

I'm looking for help with best practices for a design task.  More of the time it works fine to have a waterfall workflow between user 1, 2, and then 3.  But, more often now, we're having projects where we have three disciplines that need to run concurrently on the same design task.  How can we get this setup in Workfront?

Hello -  Having a complete brain freeze on how the scheduled refresh timing works and can't find an answer when searching. If I schedule a refresh for Thursday - does that mean it will be completed on Thursday or will it occur on Thursday night and be refreshed for Friday?  Thanks! 

Hi,the upload of documents in Workfront gets stuck. Usually the first upload of the day.Can't figure out what is wrong. Closed and reopened the app a few times.Eventually started working.IS anyone else experiencing the same? 

Hello, I am creating an item report to show all action items of projects in executing and program delivery status (CUR and ZLH) that have not been updated in more than 2 weeks. I have the column "last update date" that shows the last update and there are several rows of data. When i filter the date using the "$$TODAY-2W" wildcard, not data returns in the report. What am I doing wrong? or What is the text mode I should be using for this?  I appreciate your time and feedback. Amy

Hello, I am curious if there is a way to add in more filters to the list users have in the Board view. The options are limited by default and we would like to filter out any Parents tasks. Thank you!

I need to be able to route a request queue to an email address rather than a specific user.  I suppose I could create the user under a generic name with the email address; but unsure how the request can be accessed by a CS agent and completed? Anyone know how to do this?

I must be doing something stupid because my use case is very simple. I have a single-select dropdown on a form. And if someone selects "pods" from this field, I want a message stating that Pods-based materials cannot use that queue. (This is my intended workaround against being able to hide some options on one form.) I used this simple if statement, but it doesn't work: IF({DE:Who is creating your communication?}="pods","Pods-based materials cannot be reviewed in this queue.") Is this possible?
