Hey Workfront Community,   Hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to share a quick update with you all. Our team has undergone some changes in the past few months which affect our roles and responsibilities. Moving forward, Kautuk Sahni (@kautuk_sahni) will take over as the Community Manager for the Workfront Community. Kautuk comes with over a decade of Community Management experience under his belt and is well-suited for this role. You may have already seen his username on the Workfront Community or on our solution community board for AEM. I’m confident in his ability to take the reins and will also be a standby resource over the next few months.   Moving forward, I’ll still be on the Community team and will continue to manage the Marketo Engage Community. It has been an extreme pleasure working with you all and quite bittersweet that I'll be stepping away from this role, but know that you're in good hands. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via direct

Hi,We use a field on a custom form to create a link between projects & salesforce, it generally works well. But from time to time a sales person will enter the same opportunity code into multiple projects, usually because an earlier project used a particular opportunity and that project was wrapped up so they want another go at it.. We do not want this. So i would like to run a Workfront report looking for when their are duplicates in this particular custom field/form. Any ideas how i could do this? Currently i am running a report on all the values in this custom field and viewing all opportunity reference codes in Excel and looking for duplicates but this is not very effective. Is their a way for Workfront to identify duplicates in reports? Maybe as a filter?Thank You

I set up a different department with a request queue and some custom intake forms. They received a request, converted it to a project, then somehow managed to close the request but the project is still open. They want to re-open the request. This is my first time setting up completely different request queues so I'm not sure how to switch the request back to Current or In Process. If I just click on it, it says I don't have access (even though I'm the admin) so it seems like it's a triggered field and I'm not sure what to do to reopen it. Or do I just need to copy it and connect the project to the copied request? 

Hi, I have an inherited instance and just found a project that is "queued" that is showing up on users projects list. This project has no tasks but all of our projects, requests, and documents are tied to it. Does anyone know why we would need something like this? We have the correct project/request forms set up but this is an actual project. Thanks!

Hi,I am trying to create a report that will show when a project moves from one program to another.  This is for awareness for another team that doesn't always know when the project program changes and with the volume of projects within the program it's hard to see these shifts.  I tried a journal entry report but was hitting roadblocks on getting the right filter option to make this happen. Any ideas on types of reports or ways to complete this? Thank you

I'm trying to create a report that will give me a list of all Active Programs that have only Completed Projects within them.   

I inherited a Workfront instance and when new users are added to our system, they automatically default to a Home Group called Information Services.   Can someone please tell me where this information is pulling from?   We have many groups in WF, so not sure why this is the default. Thank you

I only just realized that when license types changed to Standard/Light/Contributor/External many of our user's access levels changed to those default types as well. Prior to the change we had a lot of custom access levels set for various user groups, but it seems like those are no longer relevant. Are access levels and licences essentially the same thing now? Has anyone else experienced this? Secondly, we want the bulk of our users to only have access to projects that they are involved with, but in my discussions with Workfront support it seems like the only way to do that is to grant them access to projects on an individual basis (see below). Does anyone know a way around this? We ideally by default only want users to be able to view their projects in the system and nothing else.  Thank you! Workfront support response:  By default, Workfront access levels apply broadly, which means users with “View” access can potentially see all projects and documents. I

Hi thereI'm trying to create a somewhat Complex calculated expression for 6 Separate data fields where the DATE is populated or empty.I was able to get TWO arguments in the expression to give correct results, but run into trouble when the IF and the && come in.I don't think I can use the OR || because it's not an OR type of expression. It would go like this, but it has all be combinedBasically in human language first:If my first field has no date, then "Start Checklist". If My First field is Populated and the Other 5 are blank then 'I have completed First Check". If My first and second fields have a date then "I have completed Checks 1 and 2".....and so on. IF(ISBLANK({field A},"Start Checklist",,IF(!ISBLANK({field A})&&ISBLANK({field 2},{field 3},{field 4},{field 5},{field 6}),"I have completed First check",IF(!ISBLANK({field A},{field 2})&&ISBLANK({field 3},{field 4},{field 5},{field 6}),"I have completed check 1 and 2"....and so on. Is this pos

Hi I have a project where the project-level schedule is set to A.At the user level, the assignee has a schedule set to B.The project is configured with "Consider user time off in task durations" enabled.My understanding is that for a task with this setup (one task, one assignee), the task start and end dates would take both schedule A and schedule B into account.In other words, if schedule A includes US holidays and schedule B includes UK holidays, the task would start on a day that is not a holiday in either country.However, in my testing this does not seem to be the case. Am I misunderstanding how this works?

Hi, Can you customise the email template for a Event Notification eg: new work assigned please.

I've been unsuccessfully trying to get Project Settings-Task Default Custom Forms to show on a report. It seems like it should be possible on a project report, but I can't get the correct text mode. Default Task Approval in Project Settings is selectable as a column without text mode. From looking at the Default Task Approval text mode (shown here), I found object categories in TaskDef collections and thought that may be default task custom forms. displayname=Default Task Approvallinkedname=taskDefnamekey=view.relatedcolumnnamekeyargkey.0=taskDefnamekeyargkey.1=defaultApprovalProcessIDquerysort=taskDef:defaultApprovalProcessIDvaluefield=taskDef:defaultApprovalProcessIDvalueformat=HTML I tried the combinations below without success, using string and list in list method. All my text mode attempts come up blank.displayname=Default Task Categorieslistdelimiter=<p>listmethod=nested(objectCategories).string(name)textmode=truetype=iteratevalueexpression={categoryID}valuef

Most of the time, when I do a basic search for something, like a keyword, it finds much better results than in a report. It would be amazing if the results from a search could also be exported to Excel. Is this a function already and I am just not seeing it?
