Struggling to get this to work. I'm hoping to get a View column to be used on the Templates page that displays the total Planned Hours in teach Template for a specific roleID. Is this possible?

My manager exported some utilization data from Planner.  The actual hours for a particular user seemed low, and we realized it was because this user had logged hours for tasks to which she had not been assigned.  We're trying to determine how widespread this issue might be.I built an hours report, and I first tried filtering where the owner ID does not equal the assigned to IDownerID=FIELD:task:assignedToID ownerID_Mod=neThis did pull records we're looking for, but it also pulled records where the person logging the hours was an assignee on the task but not the primary assignee.Is there a way to filter out the latter records?  I tried experimenting with different variations of my filter (including using assignmentsListString and assignmentsUsersMM), all without success.  Does anyone know how to filter on hours logged by non-assignees?

We're implementing a new request process and need to close out a request queue. If I archive it will the active requests remain active? Thanks Justin

Hi Folks,   I invite you to save and use the following super helpful URL:   https://experienceleague.adobe.com/search.html#q=doug_den_hoed__atappstore&sort=relevancy%2520descending&f:el_product=%5BWorkfront%5D   I personally keep as a shortcut on my desktop, and whenever I want to search with Adobe Experience League for something that is related to Workfront I then simply:   double click that shortcut edit the URL to replace the doug_den_hoed__atappstore default with whatever phrase is of interest (e.g. cautionary tale), then click enter to return the results, which (9 times out of 10) returns what I'm after within the first few results   Regards, Doug   NOTE: originally, this was the link, but it now fails, so I replaced it on May 14, 2025 with the version above     https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/GlobalSearch#q=doug_den_hoed__atappstore&sort=relevancy&f:el_product=[Workf

Hi,  We currently are having due dates that vary on projects between time zones (IST vs MST/EST) that throw off deadlines and in our instance we have specific schedules for the 2 as well as exception dates (holiday calendars). We thought we had found a solution under the project preferences when working with Workfront support and for awhile things seemed to work. However, recently we are now seeing the same schedules issues occurring and different due dates in different time zones that are causing items to be late. In a recent example we had the Diwali holiday fall in between the duration of a task and because of this exception date it pushed this task due date further out then just the time zone. When working with Workfront support on this recently example, they advised that the schedules are working as they are set to, which is fine, their recommendation was to have our Global teams set there work laptops to the home office time zone and this will not cause delays in p

Does anyone have any good recommendations for comparing task planned hours vs. actual hours at the daily level for a specific user? I'm seeing all the pieces I'd need in isolation, but can't figure out how to bring them together into the WLB or a report: I can see actual hours logged against a project/task per day via a reportI can see planned hour allocations per day via the Workload Balancer But I can't see actual hours in the Workload Balancerand I can't drill the Planner down to individual daysand I can't pull the planned hours allocations from the WLB per day into any reports Barring something native in WF, does anyone have recommendations on third-party scheduling tools that Fusion can easily pass data into?

When copying the link to a project, (or task, or anything in Workfront), it used to paste into an email, teams chat, or excel doc (or anywhere else) as the title to the project. Now, it shows experience.adobe.com... etc. and a random box without any relevant information shows.  Is this something that will change? Why does it have to be like this?

We have a drop down list of all our properties in our custom project intake form. It's long, old and needs to be updated. Is there a way to export that drop down list with all the options so I can get it marked up by a copy editor? 

Hi all, does anyone know if there's a way to add a column to a Proof Approval Report that pulls the issue name and its owner name that the proof was uploaded to? (here proof is part of the task in a project which was resolved by the issue)

I have created a request intake form in Workfront and I need to enable the public sharing for the form for the users who doesn't have access to workfront.Please help !

I have 2 users with the same access, home group, teams, layout template, etc and one can see the canvas dashboard we set on their layout template and one can't. What am I missing? 

Welcome to our Monthly Hot Topics Blog!   First things first – if you’ve seen our Hot Topics posts in the past, you may have noticed that this update is posted as a Blog instead of a Discussion.   Why did we do that? Our hope is to make our recurring updates and our series updates easier for you to find, AND to provide a way for any “non-Sys Admins” to receive notifications when we share upcoming events and hot topic posts.   How will this work? Each month we’re going to post a new Comment with all the latest events, news, and posts to (hopefully) make finding updates much easier.   To make sure you get the latest, you’ll want to subscribe (and make sure to encourage your Group Admins and Power Users to subscribe too). How do you do that? Click the 3 dots in the top right of this post. (It’s called the Kebab Menu! Just learned that today!)  Click Subscribe.  Then relax and wait for the notifications to come in every time we add a new comment to this

We have several large request queues that are not published.  We realized that the permissions functionality* varies slightly for the entered by user between non-published and published request queues, and we prefer the way it works on published queues. Is there anything I need to watch out for if I switch our queues to "Publish as Help Request Queue"?  Nothing else in the queue needs to change. Thanks for any advice! * detail --For published queues - the entered by user gets specified permissions based on project settingsFor non-published queues - the entered by user gets Manage permissions

If any Workfront Admins are attending the PMI Global Summit 12/12 - 12/15, please advise. Would love to create some networking opportunities where there are any gaps in schedules and sessions during the run of the conference! https://pmiglobalsummit.gcs-web.com/

Ready to take your Workfront reports to the next level?  Watch how @skyehansen  & @nathanjo1 offered two perspectives on creating EXISTS statements that can make your reporting dreams come true.  During this workshop, they shared technical know-how and practical applications to show us how to use EXISTS statements to build smarter reports.  Did you miss the session? No worries!
