How long do draft requests remain in the draft folder?  I wasn’t sure if there was a time limit for how long they will remain in the draft folder?  

I’m working with this expression to bring some Task data onto a Project report. Each project will have multiple tasks that meet this criteria (ie multiple children under the Bottling parent). Is there a way to tell the report to put the outputs in a certain order - ideally sorted by the Planned Start Date. Right now it seems to put them in an unpredictable order, maybe affected by the task status or latest update…I can’t figure out exactly what it’s using to reorder the outputs. displayname=Itemslistdelimiter=<br>listmethod=nested(tasks).liststype=iteratevalueexpression=IF(CONTAINS("Bottling",{parent}.{name}),CONCAT({plannedStartDate}," • ",{name}," • ",{DE:SKU#}," • ",{DE:Estate Bottling Volume}," ",{DE:Estate Bottling UOM}))valueformat=HTML

Successful organizations don’t treat planning, execution and reporting as separate activities; they connect them. In this session, join Workfront Expert, ​@Madalyn_Destafney as she shares how to leverage Workfront Planning alongside Workfront Workflow to create a connected operating model that moves seamlessly from planning into execution, with real-time visibility through Canvas Dashboards.  If you weren’t able to attend live — or want to revisit any part of the session — you can access everything below: Slide Deck PDF  Webinar Recording During the session, Madalyn shared use case ideas and demonstrated how Workflow continues to power execution. She then showed the power of Canvas Dashboards to bring both together to see the full picture.  Whether you’re just getting started with Workfront Planning or looking to mature how your organization plans, executes and reports on work, this session will provide practical guidance that you can apply immediately. Huge thanks to Madalyn sharing h

Hello, I would like to increase the webcapture timeout setting to help with proofing. I just can’t find the correct option anywhere in the proofing, account settings.Has anyone changed this settings? Where was it? I assume it should be somewhere because it was mentioned in a known issue:https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront-known-issues/issues/new-workfront-experience/wf-current/wf-proofs-webcapture-proof-not-generate

Hi, is there any way to show the issue’s status for a user inside the issue view but block it for the user to not be able to change it, just show the field but block it ? i tried through the layout template but you either remove it completely or show it.thanks,Bianca

Hi everyone,I’m trying to implement a Portfolio → Program dependency in Adobe Workfront and ran into a behavior that I’d like to understand better.BackgroundIn the native Workfront project fields, Portfolio and Program already exist as built-in fields. When we create a project: Portfolio can be selected Program automatically shows only programs related to that portfolio This dependency works perfectly.However, the problem is that these native Portfolio and Program fields are not required fields, and Workfront does not allow us to make them required.What we triedTo make these fields required, we created them again in a Custom Form using reference fields: Portfolio field Reference Field: Portfolio Set as Required Program field Reference Field: Program Set as Required The goal was to force users to select both Portfolio and Program when creating a project.IssueAfter creating these fields in the custom form: When we select a Portfolio, The Program field still shows

Does anyone know why the proofing tool would give you the error message "proof failed to generate", when the user is set to "Manager" vs "Supervisor in the users "proof permission profile"?If i change it to Supervisor it works, but if it's Manager i get the error message.

Hi Everyone,I’m trying to understand how to implement a Parent–Child project structure in Adobe Workfront so that multiple projects can stay aligned with a master project timeline.The idea is to have a hierarchy like this:Portfolio → Program → Parent Project → Multiple Child ProjectsThe Parent Project would contain the main timeline and key milestone tasks. The Child Projects would represent different workstreams (for example: Marketing Campaign, Sales Training, Customer Enablement, etc.), each owned by different teams.The goal is that when the dates in the Parent Project change, the related tasks in the Child Projects should automatically adjust so that all teams stay synchronized.I’ve seen diagrams where tasks in the Child Projects are linked to tasks in the Parent Project, possibly using cross-project dependencies or predecessor relationships.My questions are:  Is this possible ? What is the best way to implement this structure in Workfront? Can Parent and Child Projects be formal

Our workflow would greatly benefit from being able to keep Proofing Comments on future versions until they are marked as Resolved or Unactioned. This would allow for conversations to continue and reviewers to quickly see the thread without having to flip back several versions or searching through the document updates

We have recently become aware that we are no longer able to create negative expenses.This has created a huge problems on our end with invoicing clients.We often have corporate card returns/refunds that, of course, come through as a negative number. If we’ve already invoiced a client by adding the original expense to a billing record, we have no way to now add a negative expense to a future billing record to reduce the next invoice for that client. And if we haven’t already invoiced the client, zero’ing out that expense creates an audit mis-alignment with our financial system. We also often have credits that come from suppliers related to an invoice that we’ve posted. Same as expenses, not being able to create a negative expense for supplier credits causes the same problems on this expense type.We were not made aware that this change was coming and it is causing errors in our Fusion automations that try to create a negative expense record in Workfront, in addition to the client invoicin

Hi everyone,I’m trying to configure a request queue for a small new Design team in Workfront that can route incoming requests into a project or kanban boardCampaigns (projects Design Requests  (A Kanban board).Has anyone set up a request queue that allow the team to do both?The work types are in one form as a dropdown) I’ve not worked with Boards before and not sure if to make them an agile team if they want to use both. Any advice on the best way to do this would be great…..I don’t want to use fusion and the team are happy to convert manually but I'd rather the design request went directly to the Board.Thanks in advance!

Hi there. I’m pulling a Proof Approvals report, where I am grouping by approverDecision to know what proofs are still pending and which ones have been reviewed/approved. It turns out that if a proof was set up as interactive, the system will lowercase the field value for approverDecision and will capitalize it if the proof was set up as static. See example screenshot:I cannot find any string functions to use within valueexpression or something similar in text mode to normalize these fields. Any idea how to proceed here? Current text mode grouping:group.0.iscollapsed=truegroup.0.linkedname=approvergroup.0.namekey=view.relatedcolumngroup.0.namekeyargkey.0=approvergroup.0.namekeyargkey.1=namegroup.0.valuefield=approver:namegroup.0.valueformat=stringgroup.1.iscollapsed=truegroup.1.name=Approver Decisiongroup.1.valuefield=approverDecisiongroup.1.valueformat=stringtextmode=true

A department is adding a new queue with a new custom form to their request project. The form shows the name but not any of the fields when someone goes to make the request. It only shows up for admins and for the project owner who does not have an admin license. I have tried creating a new form and it still did not work. Also created new fields and still not showing. Tried it on a different queue. The form is set as edit for those who submit, no restricted access. The queue is system wide. The project and form is shared with everyone. And the other queues and forms work. But when logged in as a user or if they try, it only shows the name of the form. Any ideas on why it is doing it and how to fix it?

Hi everyone,  We’re working on creating sort of a points system within workfront to help manage capacity. We have designers input their planned hours and actual hours, but it’s hard to get everyone onboard which skews our workload balancer/tasks dashboard. I’m wondering if anyone else has created a system or workflow to help with capacity management? What we essentially would like to do is for each of our groups within workfront to get a set number of hours or points so when it reaches a certain number, they can’t request anymore projects for that month. Any suggestion or how we could implement this?? Any help would be great!
