Adobe Workfront

Description - My managers cannot log time via the Hours subtab unless granted admin access. I need my managers to be able to log time for their direct reports to ensure we are tracking time to the best of our ability.   Why is this feature important to you - I need my managers to be able to log time for their direct reports, especially when sometimes workers are away on shoots. The responsibility is always on the worker but if they are having status meetings and reveal the information why not help them out and allow managers to log on their behalf?   How would you like the feature to work - The feature would work identically to those with admin rights to timesheets. When the user goes to the hours subtask on a work object they will see a log time button. From there they can select themselves or anyone that reports to them and log hours for a specific date.   Current Behaviour - I set managers to their own access level and grant them admin rights to timesheets.

When someone is granted access to a report, project, issue, etc. Workfront generates an automatics notification outlining what the object is that the user is being granted access to and who is granting it. It would be nice to be able to add a custom message to explain what the object is and why the person is getting access to go with the notification.

We would like an option to clear selected Mentions once an update has a response.  Currently the Mentions Widget retains mentions and it is hard to sort through them to determine what needs follow-up.  It would be nice to have the option to clear or hide selections Mentions once an update/reply has been made. 

Description - Right now, the People tab of a project is not dynamically updated to people actually in that project. Anytime someone is added to a task or issue in the project, they are added to the People tab (or are the PO or other reasons). But then they remain in the People tab even if they are removed from the project tasks. Why is this feature important to you - If users are opting into emails for 'updates about projects I'm on' then they are getting these unnecessarily. This is a big issue when it comes to projects that act as the projects receiving issues/requests - those projects will never go away as long as we have the request queue feeding it, but more people are randomly added to the project and after a while they aren't needed to be there but are still getting the notifications.How would you like the feature to work - The People tab should be a reflection of the current state of the project, and should not include users who have been removed as assignees.&nb

Description - Would love to have the option to pin and unpin a certain update to the top of the updates thread. This would allow for easy visibility on the most up to date items, etc. Would also love the option to filter updates by date, time, etc. to quickly search through and locate a certain update.  Why is this feature important to you - This would increase productivity within the Workfront platform tremendously and would avoid confusion and clearer communication with cross-functional partners looking for information via updates. How would you like the feature to work - A button that says "Pin" next to "Reply" and " Like" - Once pinned there would be an option to "Unpin" For the filter, some sort of filtering option at the top right of updates then you can click and customize certain date, time, latest comments, etc)  Current Behaviour - Updates are ordered in the time in they are posted, and all replies and updates are not able to be customized at thi

Description - It would be much nicer the Edit Text Mode button enabled editing in the main windows instead of having to put it in the tiny popup window that appears. Why is this feature important to you - The edit popup is so small you can't really use it. You have to do your editing in an external editor and past it into the popup How would you like the feature to work - upon clicking "Edit Text Mode" the main window where you can see the code should be enabled for editing.

Description - If your text mode code includes a long line(s), the window widens to the point that the Edit Text Mode button isn't visible on the screen, making it easy to think that the button doesn't exist, especially since the code wraps in the edit popup window. Why is this feature important to you - multiple times we've had users think there was a bug because they couldn't find the button How would you like the feature to work - The button should always be visible on screen

Description / Current behaviour:If a Task has Revenue Type = Role Hourly [With Cap / Plus Fixed] setting, the Planned & Actual Task revenue is calculated with the Billing Rate associated with the Assignment Role(s) of the Task.The Billing Rate applied may be the default one set on the Job Role, or one that is set on the Company / Project for that particular Job Role.If a Task has multiple Assignments, revenue is calculated for each of them separately (using Assignment Role) and then summed.For User Assignments (as opposed to Role Assignments), the Assignment Role (labelled as "Assignee's Role" on the UI) can be (only) one of the Job Roles associated with the assigned user.The following business problem exists with this scenario:A task is planned with Job Role X and sold to a client at a price calculated with Job Role X.Given task is assigned to a user with Job Role Y (since a user with Job Role X is not available)The Assignment Role will be Job Role Y, i.e. the Job Role of the User

Description - Currently deleting archived cards is a method to improve board performance. Rather than manually deleting one-by-one there could be a setting that controls what & when archived cards are auto-deleted by the systemWhy is this feature important to you - It takes time to manually delete a card one-by-one, and one has to remember to do so.How would you like the feature to work - This feature would mimic the existing archive setting where you could control when a card gets deleted (# days, # weeks etc) (see screenshot)Current Behaviour - There is no automation.

Description: The Search UI has recently changed in Workfront removing both the ability to simply close window when finished searching to return to the page you were on and the ability to have your search filters per object type persist.This change impacts our user base negatively enough that we assumed it was a bug and I put in a support ticket. I've received the following response: What Changed in the Workfront Search UI?Full-Screen Search: The Advanced Search is now a full-screen experience. When you open the search, it overlays the entire page.No Close Button: The new design does not include a close (X) button to exit search and return to your previous page. Instead, you must use the browser’s back button.Navigation Impact: If you perform multiple searches or add filters, each action adds to your browser history. Returning to your starting page (e.g., a project) requires multiple clicks on the back button, which can be cumbersome.Consistency: This behavior is the same acro

Description - After Adobe Admin Console migration, external users created in Workfront need to be approved by system administrators, otherwise their accounts won't be active, and they won't be able to use Workfront. This is very time-consuming especially for larger organizations with 6k+ users. So, we would benefit from having an "action" available in Workfront Fusion that would automate the approval process for us.Why is this feature important to you - This will eliminate the manual effort of approving every user created in the system on daily basis. It will save time for the system administrators to look for the approvals daily and approve. It will also save the waiting time of the user, so they don't have to wait for approval to be able to use Workfront.How would you like the feature to work - an Action should be available in Workfront Fusion in the Update record -> "User" record type, so it can approve the users automatically.Current Behavior - at the moment when external u

WorkFront has no ability to 'undo last action' - in some cases this can be very troublesome - as it is quite easy to make a change to basic project behaviour, critical path and end dates. An 'Undo' last change function would be very useful if the Project owner has in-advertantly made a change that has caused multiple activities to be impacted. Even a - revert to last saved version function might be useful - at least allowing the project owner to go back to a version that they have already reviewed and approved with their team.

Description - Add field to capture the entry date of a report similar to the entry date of a issue, project, task, or user. Why is this feature important to you - This is important because I need to know how long a report has been available to be used. This helps tell the story of high quality reports that can be duplicated/copied for other users across my instance and peer customers of Adobe Workfront. If a report has been around for years and was recently modified that highlights importance and emphasizes need to secure it and have it monitored for quality control. The reports in Adobe Workfront are often used to drive key business decisions and knowing every aspect about a report is critical to data governance and management. How would you like the feature to work - Users should be able to add the field as a column (view), filter or grouping in similar manner as an entry date for a project, issue, or task. Current Behaviour - The field is not available in Workfront UI or API Explor

Description - The new calendar interface doesn't allow users to view as many rows as the old interface in each calendar day when in Month view.  This is causing important information to drop off and have to be accessed by hovering over More.Why is this feature important to you - Our team prefers to have all items visible or at least be able to prioritize what they see.How would you like the feature to work - Allow them to reorder the items that appear in each day by dragging the important ones to the top of the list.Current Behaviour - Overflow tasks on each day default to More view and they have to hover over or click on them.  The number of items also seems inconsistent.  Some have 3 or 4 visible but others don't have any and default them to the more heading.

Description - Allow the option to hide the hourly breakdowns on weekly calendar view or expand the collection of calendar items in the top portion of the calendar Why is this feature important to you - We have many tasks that pull into a calendar view and the many tasks are now all scrunched together at the top. When the list is super long, a scroll bar appears and you can scroll within the tiny area. There is not a way to hide the hourly blocks below or expand the top portion to have better visibility into the items like the current/old calendar weekly view. How would you like the feature to work - Add a toggle button to hide the hourly blocks and/or a way to expand the top portion of the calendar to be able to see more items on the screen. Current/Old Behavior -     New Calendar -
