Adobe Workfront

Description - While viewing all Project Tasks, having a dedicated Field/Column for logging Task HoursWhy This Feature is Important - Having the ability to log hours directly from the Project Tasks page and not needing to navigate to either the Task itself, or the Open Summary tab would be incredibly helpful. This would reduce User effort in logging time, while also removing any possible confusion for new Users navigating to the Task, and back to the Project, or navigation within the Open Summary tab.How the Feature Would Work - Added Field/Column to the standard Project View as a place for Users to log hours. This could be done via a button similar to the Status Icons that directly opens the ‘Log Time’ panel (without leaving the Project page). Alternatively this could be a Field where Users enter a numerical value that is then added to their Actual hours, and then removed from the Field. Current Behavior - Currently, Users need to navigate to the Task itself to log hours, or use the Op

In plenty of spaces in Workfront, when you search a list of objects, it feeds you all objects (active and inactive). This is particurarly true for filtering. I understand why we get everything and the kitchen sink, however it can be confusing and overwhelming. It would be helpful to visually represent what is active versus inactive. Some options:Gray out the names of inactive objects Add a symbol like an asterisk to the beginning of the object name (but not the end because these dropdown windows sometimes truncate names)

A huge thank you to everyone who joined today's Champion Chat: Things We Changed Our Minds About with Workfront! And an extra special shoutout to our amazing Workfront Champions - Carol ​@CarolMajewski , Kellie ​@KellieGardner , Monique ​@MoniqueEvans , Olya ​@OK18 , and Tim ​@TimWy1 - for being so open about their lessons learned, sharing their real-world experiences, and helping make our community such a welcoming place to learn. We're incredibly grateful for people like you who are willing to keep it honest and help others grow!   Panelist Questions & Answers: What's a Workfront hill you used to die on that you've since climbed down from? Panelists said they’ve shifted from rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches to more flexible, practical use of Workfront. They also embraced "good enough to launch" implementations and accepted that Workfront isn't meant to replace every system. What's a feature or capability you initially disliked but now love? Custom forms, groups/group admins,

At the request of some other posters here in the Community, here are some learnings from my first build of a custom Workfront to Jira integration using Fusion. All comments reference Jira Cloud, and reflect my candid, hopefully amusing, learnings from this trial project.    Why did we not use the native Workfront to Jira integration? This article is what I send out to our internal teams when they ask if I’ll configure it for them. https://www.putitforward.com/how-to-integrate-workfront-and-jira#toc-challengeswhenconnectingworkfronttojira  Also: Per Adobe Support, the connection user must be a full admin account and I operate on the principle of least-privilege. Unmonitored accounts should never be administrator level. (That’s my soapbox, and I’m staying on it.) 20/20 Hindsight – What would I do differently? Build a bigger POC – When I did my initial feasibility assessment, I thought I’d be able to use the existing connectors included in Fusion that are pre

Canvas Dashboards are more than just another reporting option in Adobe Workfront. They offer a powerful way to visualize, understand, and take action on your work. However, since they function differently from traditional reports, many teams either avoid using them or never fully realize their potential.Join us on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, for an interactive, practitioner-focused session featuring Skye Hansen, Lead Functional Architect at Merkle, and Matt Mitchell, Principal Product Manager at Adobe. Discover how to use Canvas Dashboards effectively with clear, practical guidance, without getting bogged down in configuration details.Skye and Matt will explain how Canvas Dashboards fit into the broader Workfront reporting landscape, highlight their advantages over other report types, and show you how to build dashboards that people actually use. Specifically, you’ll learn:How Canvas Dashboards integrate with the Workfront reporting landscape and the unique capabilities they offer beyo

Please provide administrators with the ability to remove or hide the default Frescopa Sample Workspaces from Workfront Planning.As we begin rolling out Planning to our users, these sample workspaces can create unnecessary confusion. One of the biggest pain points is when users add a connected field and are presented with a long list of Frescopa Marketing record types and fields that are unrelated to their organization. This makes the experience more cluttered and increases the learning curve for new users.

As a light/contributor/standard user (Reviewer and/or Approver), I want to be able to tag in a comment another user who is not in the workflow. This person should then be able to comment the proof but not make any decision

It would be great to have more flexibility when designing custom forms, particularly around field layout and presentation.Suggested enhancements:Greater control over field height and width, rather than being limited to the current sizing options. More freedom to position fields exactly where required on the form. Additional formatting options such as: Custom colours for sections, headings, or fields Text formatting (bold, italics, font size options) Highlighting important information or mandatory areas Visual styling to make forms more engaging and easier to navigate These improvements would help administrators create more intuitive, user-friendly forms, improve the overall user experience.Business benefit: More visually appealing and structured forms can improve adoption, reduce user error, and make complex request forms easier to complete. 

It would be very helpful to me as an admin to be able to prevent users from creating objects with the same name (IE multiple projects with the title “Project 1”). We have a lot of users who will duplicated projects or other objects and name them the same thing as their counterparts, which causes confusion among team members. We also have users who have accidentally duplicated objects without realizing it, then can’t determine which was the original.

Join us on Wednesday, August 5 from 12:00–3:00 PM EDT for the next Workfront Skill Exchange, featuring two parallel tracks packed with practical, real-world insight from Workfront customers, partners, and Adobe experts. This edition kicks off with an opening keynote from Angela Zhang (Adobe), followed by two tracks running side by side:  Workfront Learn Track (Emcee: Becky Barus, Qualcomm) WF101: Build for the Bot — Designing Workfront for Automation & AI (Kaylee Richard, Accenture)  WF102: Streamlining Planning with Workfront AI (Autumn Earle, Perficient)  WF103: Workfront Reporting Hidden Gems: 10 Tips That Will Save Time and Impress Leadership (Daniel Clarke, EMMsphere)  WF104: Mastering Workfront Admin Basics: Tips To Accelerate Your Onboarding (Jen Mancini, Aramark) Workfront Grow Track (Emcee: Jenna Martinez, Adobe) WF201: Tackling Workfront for User Adoption (Danielle Johnston, Adobe + Kellie Gardner, EMMsphere)  WF202: Your New AI Teammate: Mastering Workfront's Brand Revie

First a client expressed this desire, then a community member asked about something similar so I wanted to see how/if this works.  And it does!   Set up the template I wanted to create a project overview page, so I just started with the fields I wanted to display on the page. Not an actual Word template but simply a docx file with placeholders for data.    Open up MSWord (or an editor that writes docx files) and let's get started. Note the field names don't have to be related to the actual Workfront field - you set the template placeholder name and map it to the value you want to display (more on that later). For now, We Just write out what we want to see, and format it accordingly. Each placeholder is wrapped with double-curly braces. Example:   In some cases, we don't want to have extra space or a label on the page if we don't have a value. We can use a rudimentary IF tag. you determine the tag name, and the start gets a pound sign, the end gets a slash

Great turnout for our July roundtable — 27 attendees and 82 chapter members and counting (23 new members since our June 1 meeting!). We had folks register and join from across the country, plus one respondent all the way from London, spanning system admins, Fusion developers, marketing operations leaders, and end users.Our main topic was a live demo of the Workfront MCP Server and an overview of current Workfront AI capabilities, presented by David Kershaw of Techmera. David walked us through the three AI paradigms available in Workfront today, then showed the MCP Server in action against a live instance.AI Assistant. The in-Workfront chatbot. Best for summarizing what's on the current page, answering documentation and configuration questions, and (usefully) helping with calculated fields without the hallucinations you'd see from a generic LLM. AI Collaborator. Embeddable AI agents that plug into workflows. The Content Reviewer is generally available today — think of it as an AI teamma

We have just gotten access to the Adobe storage and included (free) frame.io integration. We’re not happy about the need for users to create and login to a frame.io account to see proofs for review.I think ideally, a user with a WF account should not be asked to create a separate account and login, it should just use their WF credentials.For our guest approvers in WF, I could be wrong, but it seems that they are now being asked to sign in/ create a frame.io account and receiving an email to set up a separate account in Workflow? I’m curious what others are seeing? I’m especially curious about what people are seeing who have a frame.io license on the same enterprise as Workfront. is it the same, do you not get asked to log into frame? etc etc.

 Join Chris Perez, Sr. Director of Digital Marketing, and Amanda Letbetter, Director of Operations, Marketing Services at McKesson Corporate Affairs, where they share how they tackled the challenge of scaling work distribution and project management across a high-volume, multi-brand environment.  Starting from a highly manual process, where project managers were juggling dashboards, Outlook calendars, and spreadsheets to assign work, they launched a Workfront Fusion automation scenario that now handles intake routing, project scoring, resource assignment, and template selection automatically. The result? So much time saved, allowing their teams to reclaim time to focus on higher-value strategic and collaborative work. If you weren’t able to attend live, or want to revisit any part of the session, you can access the resources below: Intro Slide Deck PDF with Fusion Resources page  McKesson Slides  Webinar Recording Thank you for being part of the community and be sure to register for mo

Scenario Planner could be a really useful tool the way that it’s set up for the way we currently handle capacity planning, but it only uses Planned Hours assigned to a role. Once those hours are assigned to a user, they no longer pull into a Plan. If it can also pull in assigned planned hours based on a user’s assigned job role, that would significantly increase the value of this tool.

Hi everyone,I wanted to bring up an idea and see if there is interest from the European Workfront community.I’ve noticed that we currently don’t have a dedicated Workfront User Group chapter focused on Europe. I think there could be a great opportunity to create a European chapter - even starting as a virtual group - where Workfront users, admins, and practitioners can connect, exchange ideas, share best practices, discuss challenges, and learn from each other. 🙂Would anyone here be interested in joining or helping shape a Europe-focused Workfront User Group?I’d be happy to help organize, coordinate, and support getting this started if there is enough interest. It would be great to bring together people from different countries and organizations to share experiences and build a stronger Workfront community across Europe! 😎If this sounds interesting, let me know in the comments - would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks to everyone who joined today’s workshop, Own Your Impact as a Workfront System Admin! The session was led by Workfront Champion and Enterprise Workfront Platform Lead & Product Owner at TD Bank, Nuria Munguia ​@NuriaMunguia , who shared a compelling perspective on how System Administrators can translate their work into measurable business value and financial impact.  Key Takeaways:  The best work of System Admins is often invisible, so it's up to you to communicate a value story to leadership before someone else defines it for you.   Translate technical work into business value. Focus on outcomes such as time saved, costs avoided, risk reduced, and capacity created rather than listing tasks or activities completed.   Make your impact visible before leadership asks. Consistently track, measure, and communicate the business results of your work to demonstrate strategic value.  Capture value at intake. When requests are submitted, ask users to estimate time, effort, or cost sav

Allow for creation of a Document Approval Template that does not include a specific approver. We have generic templates in Workfront Proof today that sets the Proof Creator as the default reviewer. The approver(s) is added when the proof is created.  We would use this template to pre-set multiple decisions/stages and due dates.
