Adobe Workfront

Thanks to everyone that participated in our first event of the year for our WUG Colorado chapter.  We had a great conversation and lots of discussion around how changes in our workflows and environments are the norm and how can we plan for the changes.  You’ll find below both a link to the recording of the session and the slides that we presented.There was fantastic dialog regarding the 4 step process we covered for planning your change but also how it relates to projects that many of us are beginning to undertake this year, namely the integration of AEM Assets to your Workfront environment and how folks are setting up that workflow.  (There were 3 or 4 of us on the call that are all in the midst of starting this integration work).  We’ll look to make this a topic in an upcoming event.Link to the deckLink to the Recording

Hello,Is it possible to add a custom form to a dashboard?The custom form needs to be editable since people will have to fill it out and I also need to be able to download it as a pdf file. I am also open to add it via an external file, btw.The dashboard would be potentially linked to a project (ideally, I want to use this dashboard on all my projects without overwriting information).Asking this because I'm trying to find a workaround to make the form editable for teammates who don't have a Standard licence and also to review my whole workflow.Thank you!

My idea is for Workfront to allow users the option to control the Landing Page they see. At this time, a Workfront Layout Template determines a user’s Landing Page upon login. In an effort to minimize the number of Layout Template, we have created Layout Templates by access and persona rather than by specific accounts. Therefore, most or our layout templates have Workfront Home selected as the landing page. Many teams would prefer that Workfront opens on a specific team dashboard upon login instead of Workfront Home. However, since we have over 50 accounts and a handful of Workfront personas (Discipline Lead, Project Manager, Resource Manager, Worker, Requestor, etc.), creating custom layout templates for each team by persona would be unwieldy with 250+ Layout Templates. We have let users know that they can Pin their team dashboard but it still requires a couple of clicks versus opening the team dashboard upon login. It would be great to offer users the ability to set their preferred W

Based on current client feedback, I am requesting we have at minimum Portfolios/Programs - if not all work Objects - added to the “Recently Deleted” function in Workfront. This is causing some issues as we automate processes clean up Workfront. Would love to see this added to the product roadmap!

We're excited to announce the very first Workfront Champion Office Hours in which Kaylee Richard will be presenting "OpenAI in Workfront Fusion: Easy Wins for Smarter Workflows." Join us on Tuesday, December 9th at 11 am ET / 8 am PT to learn more.   Click this link https://workfront-augs.adobe.com/adobe-workfront-champion-office-hours/ to sign up for the event.   ---   OpenAI in Workfront Fusion: Easy Wins for Smarter Workflows   Curious about using OpenAI inside Workfront Fusion but not sure where to start? This session offers a clear, accessible introduction to building OpenAI-powered workflows—no development background required. Attendees will see how Fusion and OpenAI can work together to automate everyday tasks, including a real-world example that uses OpenAI for proofreading and content enhancement. The session focuses on practical lessons, simple building blocks, and the approachable side of Fusion. Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or look

Short of it -- was able to edit the Planned Hours field, in a submitted Request's Details Overview section, for a Request not in New - pending status. As of this morning, I cannot. Unsure if this is affecting others. I have input a ticket. Long of it - I (sys admin, supposedly full rights) have been doing this successfully for years as the auto-duration puts in the full workday hours for that duration which is inaccurate for ALL of our Requests. We have multiple queues - some that are worked as requests and some that get converted to Projects once approved. To ensure we're not over allocating time to staff (users, roles or teams) it is critical that we are able to change this. In fact, I believe it has even been recommended to be by both prior consultant and within one or more of the many webinars I very gratefully attend. For the requests that will become Projects, I change the status to awaiting feedback - edit assignment, planned hours, and clean up custom fields as needed

We have repeatedly experienced a sync issue between the Proof module and the My Approvals widget. Proofs that have already been approved still show up in the widget as if they are awaiting a decision. Sometimes proofs that are awaiting a decision never appear. This is not a one‑off bug. Over the last 5 months, we've seen this happen at least 4‑5 times. It’s unpredictable and random, which makes it worse- we cannot reliably know whether the widget is telling the truth. To manage this, I have to manually review each proof listed in the widget, check against the actual proof status, and then open support cases when discrepancies are found. This wastes time that could be spent on productive work. More worryingly, this kind of inconsistency damages trust in Workfront. Senior management is a reluctant user already; each time the widget shows an incorrect state, it erodes his confidence in the system, making adoption and reliance less likely. If anyone has any workarounds or suggestions, I'd

Hosted in partnership with Ewan Hruska @ewanhof Field Engineering and Brian Haight of Professional Services, this session walked through 5 different tips you can leverage for automating naming conventions using Workfront Fusion: Tip 1: Establish consistent, long-term naming schemes avoiding frequent changes across related objects. Tip 2: Use unique identifiers (project reference numbers or custom incremental numbers) in naming conventions. Tip 3: Drive naming conventions through request form fields like business unit and region dropdowns. Tip 4: Limit total project name length using Workfront validation rules to prevent character overflow. Tip 5: Balance human readability with AI discoverability by starting names with most useful identifiers. Watch the on-demand recording HERE, download a copy of the slide deck HERE, and check out the .zip file with the Fusion JSON files HERE.  Fusion takes time and practice to learn, so if you're just getting started,

Does anyone know whatever happened to the Campaign Object beta from 2022? https://solutionpartners.adobe.com/solution-partners/news/2022/08/the-adobe-workfront-campaigns-beta---get-involved-.html Was that ever pushed live or was it put on hold? Any update is helpful.

Resourcing has been a huge focus with our team. We have 2 internal teams that have odd schedules as they work some weekends out in the field for projects. The system is setup for 40 hours, 5 days, and 8 hour days. I've tried creating a 2nd schedule to apply to specific projects for cases like this but it's not working the way I hoped.  Does anyone have any recommendations on setting up the Workload Balancer to show 7 day availability but with a 40 hour work week limit?I think this has been the biggest struggle for us in trying to capture availability and scheduling within the system.  Thank you! 

I have a custom view that I work from and I need it to show me one more thing (which I am so close!) but I need help. I am new to this, so really playing around with the API explorer and building in text mode.  I found this code in reference collections and it did get me closer to what I was envisioning... but not exactly. I specifically want to include a column that shows the designer (job role) assigned to that project. The following code shows all the tasks with all the assignees, which is great, but not what I need. Can anyone point me in the right direction?  valueformat=HTMLtextmode=truetype=iteratelistdelimiter=<p>displayname=Tasks Names - Primary Assigneelistmethod=nested(tasks).listsvalueexpression=CONCAT({name},' - ',{assignedTo}.{name})

Hi everyone! Looking for some advice and best practices on onboarding teams to the proofing process. A lot of us are experienced WF users, but using the proofing process is new to our team. We have our designers owning the proofs and setting up the workflows (due to volume of work) on most projects. All of us are finding the process to be pretty complicated and glitchy. We are trying to use automated workflows that include all the relevant users/roles/etc. pre-set to make it very simple for us. What are some things you all did to make the process easier and more straightforward for the teams? What tips, tricks and workarounds do you use to make the system work for your team? Some specific issues we are struggling with are:- Controlling access to the proofs when it is not a user's turn. (Private stages only seem to hide the comments, not the proof itself)- Dealing with the "Workfront" stage that is created whenever a user looks at a proof.- Creatives needing to make a dec

Hosted in partnership with Rachel Small @rachel_small and Bill McCandless of Kyndryl, this session provided an overview of how Kyndryl’s in-house creative team took a self-taught approach to building a Workfront model that could support a $7B global business. They designed and scaled a content operations framework using native Workfront features like project templates, custom forms, reports and dashboards to balance speed, visibility, and governance.  Access the on-demand resources here: Kyndryl Slide Deck PDF   Workshop Recording  Taking what they learned from other Workfront customers, this is a great story of how powerful (and generous) the Workfront Community is.
