Adobe Workfront

I am trying to download a Print Summary in PDF format with an Issue details, but need to upgrade the generic format and have the possibility to customize it in future. Is there a possibility to:1. To export only certain fields from different sections of Issue Details tab (but not all of them when selecting a specific section)?2. Eliminate Workfront water sign from the PDF document?3. Manage the layout and order of the fields displayed in the PDF document? Eliminate blank space between fields?4. Export the status field with the custom label status, not the system one? (For instance, my custom status is "Pending review", but the system status associated with it is "On Hold". I need exactly "Pending review" to be displayed within the print summary) Thank you in advance!

Hello, friends!To anyone that has implemented WF Planning, I'd love to hear your specific use case - I know the reasoning why Planning was created, have read through documentation, and attended some webinars on it. But I'd like to understand some specific use cases:- Why did you go with Planning instead of core WF for your specific use case?- Are you using Planning only or a mix of Planning & core WF for your use case?- Pros/cons about Planning implementation?- Are you doing XYZ in Planning and then mapping record types to core WF and doing ABC in core WF/connecting the two?If you're inclined to be extra generous, I'd even love a short time with you to see it over screenshare - feel free to send me a private message in Experience League!

I have a new user who has been added to the Workfront platform, but it says Unregistered next to his name. I don't see how to Register the new user.

Hi, I've set up a 'request' approval process that triggers on a status change of a request The approval goes to a 'role' - and there is only 1 person who performs that role. The probelm is - that person doesn't get an email alert about their approval being needed.They DO get a notification. I can't see anything in email settings - both under system/Email/Notifications  or the users personal notification settings that could be blocking this. Can anyone help ? Thanks  

Hi community,We upload zip files containing several separate .jpegs and create one combined proof. Does anyone know of a way to report on the number of images used in each proof please?My overall aim is to count these at Project level.ThanksMatt

Hi,  I recall earlier this year I had an issue where suddenly review / contributor level users were no longer able to see the planned benefit field on projects within a report. This change is ultimately going to cause us to exceed our paid license count from our contract that was finalized earlier this year. Is there any way around this? Previously, these users were able to see that field without issue. 

I'm looking for a way to show within a form attached to a task the different Hour Types that were logged to it. For instance we use Task time and Support Time.  when i pull a Task report i want to know if only Task time, only Support time or if both Task and Support time were logged on that specific Job.Is there a way to do this within a calculated form field?Trying to avoid having to pull an Hours report as that will result in much more data manipulation when exported to do analysis.additionally.. not sure if there is a way to use calculated fields to total the different Hour types within the task show a total of all Support time logged, and total of all Task time logged. thanks!!

Hello, Some users in my organization have reported that they are no longer receiving email reminders to submit their timesheets. Their accounts are linked to a timesheet profile that is configured to send these reminders one day after the timesheet end date. I use the same timesheet profile and receive the reminders as expected.Is there a specific setting (maybe at group level) that might have disabled these notifications for them? To my knowledge, there is no setting as such. I reported this issue to Workfront support a month ago, but they have not identified the root cause.Timesheet profile:Notification settings:

I am trying to add a column to a task view that will display an icon (red flag) if a task cannot be started because it is outside of the task constraint. I cannot figure out how to text mode this into existence so I can reduce my user support tickets of "why isn't this task showing up on my worklist" by about a dozen per week.  Parameters:Display a red flag if all below are true- Task not complete- Task has a fixed start date & time due to task constraint (ie, must start on)- The current date & time is before the fixed start date & time on the task I would also love it if we could have it display a green flag if the opposite is true (task is not restricted by a fixed start date & time) but, would be very happy to have just the red flag.  We are currently using the flag icon for the native "can start" but, this doesn't factor in fixed dates, it's only really helpful for pending predecessors.

For those working with external clients/users that submit requests, what is your approach when it comes to the main Request area? My problem is that I can't remove filters from the main Requests area and the users can still see the names of Requests that have been submitted by anyone with access to the Request Queues that they have View access to. Ideally I would like to get away from creating a separate Request queue for each external user group, since in the end we may be creating a Request Queue for one person and it would make system management impossible (this is the solution that support has given me). I have thought about removing requests once they have been converted, but if a request doesn't get converted quickly enough there is still the possibility they will see it. Everything I have tried has still given them access to the list of Request names.  These external users will need to be Light users at least due to the approval limitations of Contributors. &

For the Q3 release of the new document proofing buttons will that change when using templates and advanced proofing as well?  Also, wondering where does the message that is added when you select changes require go? Who has access to view that? 

I'm trying to create a view or report that can give me a count of the number of issues logged to a task. The only native field available I see is for 'number of open issues'. I don't want to limit the count by status of the issue, I want to count all of them. Can I do this with a calculated field maybe? Thanks in advance!

Hi all,I'm using document approvals but struggling to get a report created that shows the approval status / pending approver. I also need a link that will either open the document (not the document details page) or if not, a link to the folder area. My link open the folder area, but just shows a grey space without folders or options.Here's the textmode for the link: Here's my report I need to populate. Thanks in advance! 

Hi, We have a field called Story Lead that appears on several custom forms. This field pulls from the regular user list to poulate. Can I create a custom field that would pull in JUST the last name of the person indicated as the Story lead? I have tried a variant of this:  {DE:Story Lead}.{name}. SUBSTRING({DE:Story Lead}.{name}, ADD(FIND({DE:Story Lead}.{name}, " ", -1), 1))But it keeps telling me that Name is incorrct in the string. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks,Robin

As I've found throughout my career in managing systems like Workfront, there is knowledge you acquire ahead of time via training and documentation, knowledge that you acquire just-in-time by troubleshooting challenges, and knowledge you acquire and then look back and REALLY wish that someone had taught you that 6 months ago. I will honestly admit that my example was a long-held belief that conditionally formatting a report column could only reference the data within that specific column. I'm /still/ second guessing myself on if/when that changed, or did it always do that and I just never noticed?    Even the most experienced admin occasionally runs into menu options, features or helpful tricks that they wish they'd know earlier in their admin career. So in that vein, what are some of the things you wish you could go back in time and teach previous-you to save some head-shaped dents in your office walls? Please chime in even if you're very new to the admin lifestyle,

We use Workfront timesheets and have holiday calendars defined via schedules.Is there a way to highlight or visually indicate holidays in the timesheet (e.g., greyed-out background, icon, tooltip, etc.)? If not, please let me know if there is any other way.Thanks in advance!
