Adobe Workfront

I just inherited a rather messy Workfront setup that has a plethora of user groups setup for a small group of people. It's creating a cacophany of permissions issues and I am tempted to kill all groups and make one parent group for all, especially because we ultimately want everyone to be able to see everything within Workfront. There is no functional reason for us to use this feature, especially for our size. My question is: Can I just delete these groups entirely, or do I HAVE to deactivate them? What impact would it have from a user perspective to simply delete them and make a new one with everyone on it? For the record, our setup is so messy that I'm having to re-implement from the ground up, so I'm not really interested in preserving much of the old setup. I'm just wondering if there's a real issue I should be aware of re: deletion versus deactivation. 

Hello, Hi all,I’m looking for clarification on the difference between the “Met SLA” field and the “On Time or Late” field Workfront.What’s the key distinction between these two fields?What are the intended use cases for each?What does this formula mean on the 'On Time or Late' field?IF(!ISBLANK(CLEARTIME(Actual Completion Date)), IF(CLEARTIME(Actual Completion Date)<CLEARTIME(Planned Completion Date), "Early", IF(CLEARTIME(Actual Completion Date)>CLEARTIME(ADDWEEKDAYS(Planned Completion Date, 1)), "Late", "On Time")),"")Formula:IF(!ISBLANK(CLEARTIME({actualCompletionDate})), IF(CLEARTIME({actualCompletionDate})<CLEARTIME({plannedCompletionDate}), "Early", IF(CLEARTIME({actualCompletionDate})>CLEARTIME(ADDWEEKDAYS({plannedCompletionDate}, 1)), "Late", "On Time")),"") What does this formula mean on the ' SLA Met' field?Compares Actual Duration To Template Duration (SLA) IF((SUB({template}.{durationMinutes},{actualDurationMinutes}))>-1440,"True","False") 1440 minu

Does Workfront allow to merge projects together? Not even sure how that would look. I have a situation where this would be very helpful. Although I can see why, for many reasons, this couldn't work. Maybe there is a work around?

From an enterprise perspective, we will have various groups and administrative teams managing Workfront.   Looking at the new business rules, it appears that once an object and trigger are selected it appears you cannot add another, is this accurate?    For example, we are looking at adding validation logic to a task level upon editing of the task (e.g. block completion of task if a document is not attached to the task).   If we have multiple groups that are working off the same environment, can you add multiple business rules to support each team or do they have to be layered all into the same business rule?     

I have a project with tasks that have the status of New, have a start date in the future, but they have a progress status of At risk. If I change the status to In Progress, the progress status changes to ON Time.  I know that the estimate due date is out in July 2026 but I do not know how to change it.Here is a snippet of the tasks from the project.  Any help would be greatly appreciated 

I am unable to find any documentation on this question:Does Proof keep active the PDF page or reference links on a pdf file that has been converted to a Proof? We have a report that includes a Table of Content which includes the link to the respective pdf page; however, when viewed in Proof on Workfront, the links are not working? Is this expected behavior?

Hello - Part of the way we are utilizing Workfront is our users will put in a request which will then be converted to a task or project by a group of Admins. However, when the issue is converted it is saying that the issue was entered by the Admin doing the conversion, not the original requester. Is there a way to fix this? I don't remember that being the case earlier on in our Workfront use. Example in pictures: Original requester was Rosemary, but once converted to a project requester is now Gabriela.

Hi there. Forgive me if this is answered elsewhere.  I'm looking to create a Report that shows the End Date of tasks designated for a specific milestone path for all Active and On Hold projects for a given Portfolio.  So in my specific example, I have 10 projects active and on hold, and each of them have about 25 tasks. Of those tasks, 7 tasks are attributed to milestones on (what we've called) the "Standard Milestones" path, and I would wanna only show those 7 (end) dates.  Thinking of my output, the projects would populate as separate rows on the report, and the columns along the top would each be one of the milestones, with each column as one milestone (so 7 columns total). And then, the data would be the date per project. How would I build this?

How do you search for a project by the Project Code?

Hi - we use the my projects home screen widget. When we toggle to "Projects I'm On" we get projects we are not assigned tasks on, but are shared with us. Is there a way to filter this out? I want to create a view that is just projects that are either owned by the user or projects where they have assigned work.

Hi All, I am looking at creating a task report. The reason why I would prefer a task report for this is, because we want to make live updates on certain fields pertaining to a task.What I am trying to display? A task may have more than one assignee. For example, Assignee 1 and Assignee 2. 1. Is there a really unique way to group by Assignee. When using the Assigned To as a grouping on a task report, Workfront will only take into consideration the Primary Assignee. I do know on an assignment report it will work as expected, but you can't interact / update any tasks from this report associated with the assignee. 2. If #1 is possible, I want to exclude in some instances assignees not reporting to a manager. For example, if I am the manager and Assignee 1 reports to me, I do not want to see Assignee 2 on the group by.  Not sure if anyone has worked on something towards this. I know the grouping by will work on the Assignment report, but we won't be able to upd

Issue:   We are needing to display all the documents in program and for the associated projects so there is a single source for our Program/Project Managers to view the appropriate information.      Is this possible to display all documents associated with a program/project? Scenario/Question 1: In the Documents link on the program, this appears to only display the Program level documents and nothing else.  Is there a way to turn on the ability to display downstream project/task documents here, similar to how task documents show on a project Documents area? Scenario/Question 2: Is there a way to display the dashboard with a report that filters the results? Created and applied a dashboard/report on a programAll projects/programs are showing up in this report instead of just the program specific projects and a notice that says the report can't be filtered by program.  (Image attached)We could create a prompt, but that would then requ

Hi all!I'm customizing my project task-level view. I know that I can change the color of a parent or grandparent task's row by setting conditional formatting (task's Number of Children > 0). However, I'm looking to set parents and grandparents to different colors. The Number of Children variable tells you how many subtasks there are... not useful here. I need a variable that denotes the "level" of a task (ex. task=1, parent=2, grandparent=3, greatgrandparent=4). I'm fairly comfortable with text mode and API basics but just can't figure this one out 😞Extra credit portion: Ideally I'd like to flip parent+ task rows into white text on dark backgrounds, but rich text fields don't change color. Is there a way to override that?Thanks in advance!!

Hi Community, I'm wondering if there's a tag somewhere on users that capture not only their last login date and their total login count, but also which days they logged in on. I'm trying to build a month-to-month report showing when our users are more active. Does anyone know? Thanks!
