Adobe Workfront

HelloWe just switched to the new approvals and we have a ton of external users - am I seeing this right, that if they are Approvers, no proofing tool but they get the approval buttons.  If they are Reviewers then they get access to the proofing tool. Huh??? Why no proofing tool for approvers?!?!Help! I can't seem to find any documentation.

Hi! I'll be attending Max in LA later this month. Will anyone else be there? Summit used to do Workfront Breakfasts, and curious if Max may do anything similar? Would love to network with as many of you as possible!! 

Has anyone been able to access Canvas dashboards from Sandbox? Would love to test it before going to prod. 

Hello, I would like to find a way to send out email reminders to update their project to designated groups, preferably one to me/my team and the one person/team that is currently assigned and working on the project. I would like to have this email be sent out 2 weeks before the expected due date on the project is. I was currently investigating and looking around to see if this is possible but failed in my research. Is this kind of process a possibility on workfront? Thank you for any help you can provide.

As the Workfront Fourth Quarter Release is scheduled for next week (October 16th), this webinar highlights the new enhancements, including the New Requesting Experience, AI Reviewer, Workload Balancer updates, as well Planning and Fusion features, and so much more!  If you weren't able to attend - no worries!

Be sure to review all of the release notes on Experience League, as not all features were covered in the webinar.   A HUGE thank you to the Product Management teams for joining and sharing additional details around these new enhancements!

Before unified approvals became a thing, we used to be able run reports showing assigned approvals that any user could run for themselves using the $$USER.ID wild card. Now, the only place that assigned approvals are listed is the home page and I haven't been able to figure out how to create a report similar to the one we used to use. I would be willing to switch to using the home page but, as someone managing a team with assigned tasks, I can't filter tasks by working group on the home page. I'm left with having to use a custom dashboard / report to manage tasks and issues, and the home screen to manage approvals. Is there a way to create a report that could be added to my custom dashboard and list all of my assigned approvals?

Hi, I know you can create a parameter report to list all reports a field is being used on.  1. Does this mean the field is in the filter or the view (or column)? 2. Has anyone been able to create a report to list filters a field is being used on? I have tried combinations between an API call or even the Data Lake to see if I can pull data.  Curious if anyone got close to this?

Is anyone experiencing any issues with your users logging their time off?  Here is what our users are experiencing: User goes to put time in October 13-17, and then they go put time in December for 8-12. When they do that, the time the put in for October disappears?  

Hey Community. It is a bit complicated.I have issues/requests with documents attached.Approval processes are also added to the issues/requests.There are teams assigned to the approval processes. Besides other filters I want to show documents where the user is part of the approver team. But I don't get to the data via EXISTS statement. This is what I currently have:currentVersion:proofID_Mod=notblank EXISTS:A:$$OBJCODE=OPTASK EXISTS:A:ID=FIELD:opTaskID EXISTS:A:teamAssignment:teamID=$$USER.teamIDs EXISTS:A:teamAssignment:teamID_Mod=in opTask:status=CLS RLV opTask:status_Mod=notin OR:1:currentVersion:proofID_Mod=notblank OR:1:opTask:status=CLS RLV OR:1:opTask:status_Mod=notin OR:1:owner:homeTeamID=$$USER.teamIDs OR:1:owner:homeTeamID_Mod=inThe last OR filter for approver teams is missing because i don't know how.Last try was:OR:1:EXISTS:B:$$OBJCODE=OPTASK OR:1:EXISTS:B:ID=FIELD:opTaskID OR:1:EXISTS:B:approvalProcess:accessorIDs=$$USER.ID OR:1:EXISTS:B:approvalProcess:accessorID

Hi, Has anyone been able to use text mode to group by project name (or ID) on a baseline task report? I tried the below as a starting point, but it is zero value group.0.linkedname=task group.0.namekey=view.relatedcolumn group.0.namekeyargkey.0=task group.0.namekeyargkey.1=Project ID group.0.valuefield=task:Project ID group.0.valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString

If you are in a large company where different departments separately purchased products that each group manages separately, and you all enable SSO for your products, how has your Workfront migration gone or how is it going? Our migration to SSO has been fraught - to put it mildly -  as the architecture of the Admin console places some serious limitations on our ability to manage our sensitive Workfront information independently --- far from the prying eyes of unrelated departments with whom we're suddenly forced to share the console.  I've already created a related submission under the Ideas forum, so I won't re-hash everything, but if you are experiencing similar pains at your company, I ask that you cast a "Like" for my idea in order for it to gain traction and help others who still have to complete their migration. And to summarize, here are our pain points with the ongoing Adobe Admin Console migration:We've learned the following from the Adobe reps who have been wor

Hi Folks,   Today, Adobe Workfront shared this announcement upon login:     We first learned of the upcoming change a couple of weeks ago (then, cited less precisely as "Sept 2025"), so have been working furiously to upgrade all of our solutions, and were delighted to make a similar announcement today in response:     As Workront's oldest partner, we had vestigial references going back to API v2.0 all the way up to current (v20.0), and as we tackled this upgrade, had to decide whether to:   use the "Latest" API by NOT specifying a version and instead "roll with it" whenever the official Latest version changes (so less maintenance, but more risk), or use the specific "v20.0" latest version to "lock in" that functionality, recognizing that someday the code will need to then be upgraded (deferred maintenance) We decided to go with the latter, and have teed up our tech stack to make future such transitions less onerous, but I am curious what others ar

Is there anyway to show the email address in a typeahead custom field instead of the user name?Even though when typing in a user, the email adress is visible, I need the populated field to show the email address, not the name in the submitted request form.Or, can this be done using calculated fields? 

Hi! Our department is looking to create a customizable project plan with Workfront. We cannot afford Workfront Planning. Has anyone successfully done this and if so, please share any tips and tricks you may have! Thank you!

Hi all, I’m working on integrating an Adobe App Builder app with Workfront. I’ve created and deployed the app successfully, made sure the IDs are unique. However, when I go to Setup → Interface → Layout Templates, I don’t see the option to Add a Custom Application in the sidebar. Has anyone encountered this before? Are there additional steps or tenant settings required to make Custom Applications appear in Layout Templates? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hello!  I have a user who is not computer savvy and is always on the move. He's asking to have his password reset and it's been forever since I had to do this. I thought I could go into their profile and there was a button that would prompt a password reset but I don't see that anymore. Has that function been removed? Is the only way to do a password reset now through the user's log in screen? Any info is appreciated!

Hello, CommunityI created a calculated field in a Task Form with the intention of having the user "clicking" on a live link that will take them to the Project's Documents section (if it were to a specific Template Folder even better! but I think that would require Fusion help...) Although the Project URL displays correctly, the link takes me to my Home Page.Here is the formula I used:'   CONCAT("<a href='https://orgname.my.workfront.com/#project/",{projectID},"/documents'</a>")  ' What am I missing...?
