I am needing to develop a report that will list each of the associate's listed in the "Resource Manager" field at the Project level, but am finding it more difficult than I thought.  When creating a new "Project" report, Resource Managers shows us as an option for columns, but not for Grouping.  Ideally the report would only list associates signed to that field, and their list of projects, no matter the status.  How difficult is it to create?  Thank you for any assistance!

Hi All,I have a Workfront Search module in Fusion that searches for projects thatare in portfolio Xand were entered by user A or user Band don't have status X or Y or Zand have the External Ref ID field populatedI would like to achieve the same using the Workfront Custom API Call module. So I tried to "translate" the filters into query string parameters.I finally managed to figure out how to do the in/notin [array] filters as query strings, and the following is working:/proj/search? portfolioID=6697fa04001c019abca6425f837bb477 &portfolioID_Mod=eq &extRefID_Mod=notnull &status=CUR &status=CPL &status=QUE &status=DED &status_Mod=notin &enteredByID=6335d882006d9628cc525e59fce818a7 &enteredByID=63d38d74000599f6ac8f5b3656e6cb56 &enteredByID_Mod=in(Line breaks are added here only for easier reading.)Admittedly this is a bit cumbersome. So I am checking if there's an easier way. When I check the DevTool -> Live Stream in Fusion, I can see that f

Discover project trends like never before  Are you ready to take your project insights to the next level? We’re excited to announce the release of the Baseline Dashboard Blueprint to help you do it! This blueprint is your launchpad for smarter, faster project decisions with its streamlined dashboard containing four powerful reports.    Why are baselines a big deal?   Baselines are more than just a project snapshot—they’re your time machine for project management. Whether you capture them at kickoff or mid-flight, baselines empower you to compare what was planned vs. what’s happened, letting you spot problem tasks, scope creep, and project trends at a glance. Use the in-progress reports to proactively catch projects and tasks that need attention now. Dive into the completed reports to learn from past projects and fine-tune your future plans for smooth sailing next time. Each report is laser-focused to help you celebrate efficiencies or illuminate bottleneck

Hi, I have a report with 3 level of OR statements. Example below.Field1_Mod=isnullname=Task 1name_Mod=cicontainsOR:1:Field1_Mod=isnullOR:1:name=Task 2OR:1:name_Mod=cicontainsOR:2:Field1_Mod=isnullOR:2:name=Task 3OR:2:name_Mod=cicontains But on Field 1, I want to do an additional check to exclude the task if FIeld 1 contains 0 in it.  So I modified the code as below:Field1_Mod=isnullAND:1:Field1_Mod=cinotcontainsAND:1:Field 1_=0name=Task 1name_Mod=cicontainsOR:1:Field1_Mod=isnullOR:1:name=Task 2OR:1:name_Mod=cicontainsOR:2:Field1_Mod=isnullOR:2:name=Task 3OR:2:name_Mod=cicontains The code works find for Task 1, but I want to apply the same logic for Task 2 and Task 3.  I am not sure how to write the same AND:1: code but for OR:1 and OR:2. Is that even possible? 

Hi All,We have written a small web application that displays a list of URLs on a single page.Our Web Development team loads the Page of URLs to Workfront as an Interactive Proof, to share a Project's Dev page URLs to internal reviewers/approvers.The reviewers/approvers sign-in to display the Page of URLs with session data stored in a persistent cookie.When the Interactive Proof of the Page of URLs is opened in the Desktop Proof Viewer, the reviewers/approvers are forced to sign-in every time as the Desktop Proof Viewer does not appear to have persistent cookies. QUESTION: Can the Desktop Proof Viewer be setup to have persistent cookies across sessions of Interactive Proofs?

Need help to write a Report to capture duration (planned v actual) from project start to a specific task name that contains "Design Lock".The task "design lock" is used in all projects, but it's used in different templates has different predecessors.I assume I would run a Task report, but can't find a way to capture a task name, or part of a name.I need to report on planned vs. actual durations from the start of the project to the design lock task.And then if the project is cancelled prior to Design Lock, I would report the actual days completed instead of returning an error.I am new to reports so any help is appreciated. 

Hello,  We bill our clients monthly by using Fusion to sum the planned revenue of all tasks completed in the previous month (with some other criteria). The scenario then adds '666' story points to those tasks which essentially says they have been 'billed' so they don't then bill again the next month. This was set up when my company first moved over to Workfront.A few months ago I noticed some projects weren't billing correctly and it seems that tasks that have previously been billed (and therefore have '666' story points assigned) are being copied within projects, and so weren't billing again when they needed to. We've communicated this out to our users asking them to not copy tasks, but it still seems that this is happening each month. I have a report that I review each month that shows me the tasks that have '666' and were completed in the relevant previous month (and therefore shouldn't have '666' on them), but there is the chance that the tasks have been completed, b

Hello, I've built a Document Version report that provides me with the version # a proof was on once it reached 'Approved' status. I want to add one more column in my Details tab that tells me what Proof Workflow Template was used. I was in the API explorer and saw workflowTemplate was a field available, but curious to know how this can be implemented as an object in my report. Thank you for your insight! Best,Isaac

I'm currently exporting the audit log and noticed that the date and time format in the exported file differs from how it's displayed within the instance. I've attached a screenshot showing the comparison between the two formats. I've tried a couple of times in excel using Text to Date and custom formatting, but it's still not showing correctly. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.Is there a way to adjust the exported data so the date and time appear consistent with the instance view? I’d appreciate any guidance you can share.Thanks so much!   

Has anyone noticed lately that when you "delegate" approvals when someone is OOTO it works the first day, but then once that date has passed and it's their second day out, the delegate cancels itself and doesn't work anymore? We have used this for a few years and only last week did we realize it's now doing this. Example: even though they were set 10/3-10/7 it keeps canceling the delegation once it passes the start dateScreenshot 2025-10-06 111954.png 

Hi, Is it possible to give manage access of a Resource pool to a Group Admin? How?MvhKundan

For those that bill the hours entered on a project, how do you handle when a resource works overtime on the project to get the actual cost of those hours on the project? For example - if an hourly resource with a cost of $20.00 / Hour works 10 hours on a project, with 2 of those hours being overtime, how do you get the actual cost to be $220, rather than $200. I'm hoping someone has a "solution" for this that they have been using and will share.  Thanks, Alex

Since the launch of Blueprints in 2021, the solutions represented in the catalog have primarily all been focused on Project Templates. We are excited about recent developments in the Blueprints product capabilities that now allow the creation of Custom Forms, Reports and Dashboards, Projects and Queues, and a variety of other configuration objects.    While Blueprints product features will continue to follow the normal quarterly release patterns that we rely on for other product features and capabilities, new Blueprints solutions will be added to the catalog on an on-going basis as new content is ready. This means that the normal communication channels for releases are not the best mechanism for us to highlight and announce new Blueprints solutions.    The purpose of this blog post is to provide Adobe Workfront customers visibility into the catalog contents that are being released. As we release new content to the Preview environment, we will make an announcement as

Hello! We are beginning to roll out component based authoring for quarterly product commentary using Workfront custom forms vs emails and word doc attachments. Does anyone have a creative solution tracking changes to the text being authored as its being edited prior to submitting to the DAM for publishing? 

Hi, Can anyone help me with trying to get the document approval date to show in this field please? I've added {currentVersion}.{approvalDate} but it does nothing. I'm in a project report. displayname=Quote Approval Datelistdelimiter=<p>listmethod=nested(documents).liststype=iteratevalueexpression=IF(!ISBLANK({currentVersion}.{proofID}),IF(CONTAINS("Quote",{currentVersion}.{fileName}),{currentVersion}.{approvalDate},""),"")valueformat=HTMLwidth=200 ThanksMatt

Hi all, I need to be able to pull the first and second proof dates into a report. So far I have this which pulls in the current version, but I can't make it only look at the earlier versions displayname=1st Proof Datelistdelimiter=<p>listmethod=nested(documents).liststype=iteratevalueexpression=IF(!ISBLANK({currentVersion}.{proofID}),IF(!CONTAINS("Quote",{currentVersion}.{fileName}),{entryDate}),"")valueformat=HTMLwidth=200 ThanksMatt

Is it possible to format a Workfront (project) report to alternate row color to make viewing the data when scrolling right along the same line easier? Conditional formatting individual cells doesn't quite work since I'm not looking to color code based on data, simply add a background color to every other row.

Hi! Can the My Tasks widget (on the Home page) show tasks for projects that are in any status other than Current? Some users want to see tasks for projects that are set to Planned, On Hold, or Requested, but they don't.If it is possible to see tasks from those projects, what are some settings that could be preventing those tasks from appearing in the widget? Thank you!
