Is there a way, maybe based on Routing Rules, Topic Groups, Queue Topics, or something else I’m not considering to either trigger logic inside the request form or skip sections of the request form?We utilize one master project request queue that routes to a master request form for our entire company. There was reasoning and strategy behind this, but the ultimate result is a form that asks a large amount of qualifying questions before you are routed to the specific section you’re trying to complete.  I’m hoping there’s a way to bypass some of the preliminary routing steps if the projects are intended for my team or possibly my queue topic.I’m not exactly a power user of Workfront so I apologize in advance for asking questions that may have an obvious answer, I’ve tried my best to research on my own.

We have a situation where we have created a new view in Projects’ documents to show (100s of) documents and proofs on projects. However, the ‘version’ column always shows documents at v1 but when a proof is created and is techinically a v1 proof, it shows v2 in the column and is very misleading.I have looked at many ways to work around this using text mode but everythings draws up a blank column.Has anyone else come across this and found a solution?Thanks!

As above .. workfront has taken 20 mins to create a proof and still hasn’t done it. How do you cancel the job and start again? 

Hi! We are exploring exporting Workfront data through Snowflake and into PowerBI. It pains me what we have to do this. I would love there to be more functionality with Workfront reporting, especially to show trends over years. I find PowerBI not overly intuitive either. Will more reporting functionality exist within Workfront? How else are people creatively showing data? 

Has anyone tried to create a dashboard that displays project level information that can then be added to the project itself in the sidebar? I have some designers asking for a more visual way to represent project data that would be accessible at a glance on their actual project.Thinking if it IS possible, it could be done with wildcards, but struggling to figure out how to reference the data on the project the dashboard is actually attached to.If this is not possible, what are some creative ways you all have tackled this?

A HUGE thank you to ​@MikeEngel  for sharing all his knowledge on the Unified Approvals transition! We realize there were a lot of unanswered questions from the chat so we are working on a consolidated Q&A that we’ll post here later, as well as discussing additional webinars to address these!  As discussed today, access to Unified Approvals will be based on your Workfront contract renewal date, but if you want to get access earlier, reach out to your account team to see if you can recontract early! Below are a summary, links to the slide deck, recording, and resources! Senior Product Manager Mike Engel shared updates on the new Unified Approvals experience, bringing enhanced review and collaboration tools for both video and non-video assets. Mike demo’d the new experience, including annotation and collaboration tools. He also discussed the transition, which will allow teams to adopt it in stages (using both legacy and new approvals, as needed) as well as potential future capabiliti

I am having an issue where I have users assigned to tasks however their hours are showing zero. This changed when I updated the task assignments to be their job role names instead of their actual user name because I am working with 300+ projects and want to resource level. Any insight into why their hours might be showing zero if they're assigned to a task with hours? Also note that each of the project tasks are set to start and end during work hours. 

Hi everyone,We’re a few months live with Workfront and the team I have moved into are very much “use it because we have to” users. The main obstacle (like many I am reading) is the amount of clicks that activation teams feel they have to do on top of their very manual work - they don’t see a benefit to updating the details accurately, so they basically close everything as complete after they've done the work (I know 😥). We’re working on the “create and show the benefits” part, but I’m wondering, how does everyone use planned vs actual dates and how much importance do you put on this and marking the status accurately.Do you set a planned schedule once and leave it as is, but be firm on accurately marking tasks in progress/complete so you can use “actual” dates in reporting, or do you constantly update the planned schedule to be accurate and rely on that solely, or something else?I should note, we don’t have PMO’s for most of our teams. We have a version of “Traffic leads” that help wit

I have a use case where I need to be able to filter on a report to pull in Monday through Sunday for the next week into the following week. For example, dates would be 4/6 - 4/19. This report is ideally ran on Friday’s but could be run on a Thursday if there was a holiday. I have set up a filter against my date field to show $$TODAY+3d between $$TODAYe+16d which does work if the report is only run on a Friday. Is this possible to hard code or would I need to have the end user default to using a prompt to ensure accuracy. Thank you!

Please, please bring back the option to toggle off the ability to edit the assignee on a task for the Standard users access level!! This is an incredibly important feature for my team and an easy way that work will fall through the cracks, lose track of accountability, and cross functional alignment. There is also no current way that I am notified of changed user on a task. If I was notified, this would be a helpful way to monitor changes but alterations are happening unbeknownst to me and will quickly become a very large problem to audit. Please help!

It would be nice to have the functionality to tag all people on the proof in a comment by using “@everyone” so we don’t have to tag 8 different people each time.  Using tagging a team doesn’t work the way our division is structured.  Thanks!

Hi All,I am trying to query / pull the “Project Sharing” settings of a project template via the Workfront API / in Fusion, but can’t figure out how to do this.The accessRules collection includes only the “Template Sharing” settings, but not the “Project Sharing” settings.Does anyone have an idea on how to do it? Or this not supported currently by the (versioned) API?Thank you,Tibor
