Adobe Workfront

Hi Folks,   Just figured out a workaround for your tricks-n-tips shoebox, as below.   Save until needed, and if you know of any others, please share.   Regards, Doug   @cc: note to self @doug_den_hoed__atappstore     

I have several reports in the system pulling Issues with a column for resolving object. The resolving object column is appearing blank even though in the Workfront report there is a link to the Project name.Does anyone know how to get around this? 

Hi - I’m working on a Projects status report for our teams to share and walk through with Senior Leadership as a replacement for an existing Excel file. The current version is quite basic, so I’m wondering whether there’s an out-of-the-box solution or any dashboards that others have already created for reporting ongoing project status.Has anyone implemented something similar or have any recommendations?Thanks RequestorProject ownerStatusDate brief Dave converted Deliverivery dateCondition

When a parent task has children that are cancelled the system shows the status of the Parent task as Complete. I can't find a way to change this. We are trying to build a way to show that a Parent task (which represents a job) was cancelled. We need a way to report on parent tasks that were cancelled and parent tasks that were actually completed because the work is done. Is there a way to set up workfront so that if all children tasks are cancelled the parent task would also show cancelled?  

Hi all,I feel a bit silly asking this as I've been working with forms for a while, but I can't seem to remove custom forms from either individual projects or project templates. I've tried removing them from both the Edit Project/Edit Template interface and the Project Details page, and while I have the 'x' next to the form name, nothing happens when trying to remove it. Note: these are projects/templates that I created and own, and they only have one form attached. Am I doing something wrong, or is it time to enter a support ticket?Thanks! -Laura

Hi! In the last week or so we've been having users get the following error when trying to duplicate requests: You must be a system admin to change this custom data parameter value. We've been having users duplicate requests for several months now and are just now running into this issue. I'm guessing it's a permission error, but doing a quick scan in the system setup I can't find anything that would make this change. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as a lot of our system is dependent on user's being able to duplicate requests.

We do not use General time but it shows up automatically when creating a new timesheet. How do I remove those entrees?

Hello,  This community post and Workfront documentation mention an option to Lock a Proof when all Decisions are made, however I don't see this option in our Proof Settings or Automated Workflow templates. I only see the option to lock at each stage. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? 

How can you access Proof ID in the document report to add it into prompts

I've seen this discussion: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/workfront-questions/project-finances-allocation-dat... but it doesn't quite tell me how those dates are determined.   We have a Project (Financial Data) report where the planned completion date of the project is in March 2026, but the report is showing allocation dates stretching out through August 2026.

Hello Community Team,I have a calendar (I´m the owner) shared with different teams in my organization. However, there are some team events that are private and those should not be visible for the rest of the teams. Is there any way to hide those in the Calendar and make them visible only for the owner and specify people?

So I think I know the answer to this one but thought in case it had appeared on a development roadmap since I last explored it, it was worth asking. I'm building a "basic board" in Workfront where I don't have a need to link the cards to issues or tasks at present, its just helpful to have cards, task lists, comments and statuses against tickets. Am I right in thinking that, because cards are not standard elements of the Workfront structure of tasks, issues, projects, etc, it's not currently possible to produce any reporting based on unlinked cards? Thanks!

What is the best way to account for department and corporate events in project timelines?  I am tempted to have everyone in the department enter "time off" for the two day department events that occur one time per quarter but wanted to check to see if anyone has a better idea.  It know it will work, but don't want to pass up an option I am not aware of.

Hi everyone, I’m going to take the Adobe Workfront Expert Certification exam soon, and I’d really appreciate your advice or tips. I’d like to know what kind of topics or questions usually appear on the test, and what areas I should focus on while studying.If you’ve already taken the certification, please share your experience — any suggestions about study materials, practice tests, or key concepts would be super helpful.Thank you in advance for your help! 🙏

I'm trying to create an issue report to show the average time between entry date and actual completion date per month. I cannot get any issue duration field to aggregate to show an average in the grouping. I've tried text mode to calculate the date difference, and I've also tried creating a calculated field. Neither is working for me. Is this even possible? If not, does anyone have a good way to show this type of data in Workfront?Thanks!

One of my users asked how their supervisor could be notified when they're added to a project, to which I responded that was built into Workfront's notification settings. However, when looking in the "miscellaneous" notifications for that manager (and all users) I can no longer find any settings related to people on their team. Has anybody else noticed this?

Attention all Fusion users! Do you have an idea for a Fusion template that you’d like to see added to our library? We’ll pick a few customer-submitted ideas and create them for you! While we’d love to, we can’t create all of them. Workfront to Workfront/Adobe automations will be prioritized, but don't let that stop you from sharing your idea. All ideas are welcome and we're excited to see what you come up with!  If you don’t already know, public Fusion templates are pre-built automations or integrations that Adobe creates for all customers to use. Read more about how they work and what templates are available.  Post your idea as a reply to this Discussion and feel free to up-like any other submitted ideas. 

Hey there! Does anyone know any text mode to get links to documents inside of a project level report?  Even better, if you can put logic in to look at folders based on name?  Thanks! 

Does anyone know if there is a way to Mask the From name on a proof notifications? All of the proofs come from a generic email address but it appears as I am sending it - what if we wanted it to say something generic like "<Company Name> Proof" Can this be done and if so how?
