Document Count column in Project Report

I have created a project report that lists all projects done by our marketing teams the past two quarters. However I have also been asked to include a column that shows how many documents are in each project. I am having trouble figuring out what text mode to input as I'm also not finding a pre-made column that can help. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this column created?

hi,

sadly, my best guess is that you won't be able to do that. Workfront offers total task and total issue count for projects, but I haven't notice doc count.

Maybe someone will prove me wrong.

Hi @sarahst6,

 

I concur with @sarahst6, but if you need the document count per project badly enough, you might consider:

 

  • creating a document report grouped by project name, collapsed, with the number of docs then showing parenthetically in the grouping, assuming there is at least one document per project (poor), or
  • adding a column to your existing project that iterates the document collection but with listdelimiter=& z w j ; (with no spaces, keeping the results on a single line) and valueexpression="|" (vs a valuefield) to effectively draw a bar using "|" (notches) in order to see the relative number (since collections cannot be counted, natively, As Designed)

 

Regards,

Doug
