I kind of have a Love-Hate relationship with Layouts and their Assignments.Even though Layout assignments can be done to Team/Role/Group, When you assign a team or Group WF doesnt override the existing layouts of the users.It works better when you do it to a individual user always.

Hello all:), I am trying to figure out the Workload Balancer and I am facing some Issues regarding its usability. One Major Step would be to have the Field "planned Hours" in the Task-Summary, in Order to adjust the planned hours quickly, without going into the Task itself (not sure why its not like in the first place: thought that would be obvious as soon as you start allocating Hours with the Balancer). I edited the "Summary Panel" inside the "Layout Template" inside the "Group Settings" already, to display the "planned Hours" but it has no impact on the Task Summary. Looking forward to your Suggestions. leonhard 

Are there any workfront planning tutorials recorded anywhere or only the documentation/overview?

Hi there, I'm trying to create a single use approval process for a issue without any success though. Approval must be with multiple stages and the next stage can only be approved after current stage has been approved. Any idea(s) on how to achieve this?

Have anyone has success in leveraging Scenario Planner to come up with Product Roadmaps?

Is it possible to set up event subscription in Workfront? For example, when a new project is created, the ServiceNow (SN) team at my company wants to get project details so they can insert this data into the ServiceNow table. We are not using Fusion for this integration. I informed them that Workfront does not have a built-in webhook feature, but I want to double-check here.

Hi CommunityI've created a project report that highlights projects where the condition is 'At Risk' in orange or any that are 'In Trouble' in red. However, this should only be applied to incomplete projects (where Percent Complete < 100). So, the one At Risk should be highlighted orange but the one In Trouble should not be highlighted red, as Percent Complete = 100. None of the other rows should be highlighted, as they're On Target. I've tried various combinations of cases in the text editor, without success. Any help would be appreciated.. thanksTony

Hello together, we have just introduced the Workload Balancer to help our Teamleader to allocate Hours for Tasks/Issues for 4 People.Issues take from Creation to Completion on average 60 - 90 Days with different Amount of Hours Project Tasks have a Duration of 14 Days with 20 Hours each (I have set the 20 Hours in the Project Template).-> That means in The Workload Planner automatically for Project tasks every Day 1.6 hours are allocated, for Issues around 0.08 Hours per Day. How do I in a fast Way adjust Allocations to be realistic? I could go ahead and manually set10 Days on 0 Hours; 4 Days on 8 Hours for Tasks 55 Days on 0 Hours; 5 Days on 8 Hours for Issuesbut that is very tidious Work. Ideally I would like as a standard to have the balancer set the Hours from the last Day Backwards for as many full days as needed. I already have a global Simple Duration set, that didnt help. Is anyone able to share their Knowledge or Experience? Thank you, Leo

I would like to share with the community my discovery after experimenting with multiple solutions. In my opinion, this is the simplest one and I hope it will help others. If you are willing to add in you Dashboard a report that display a listing of hyperlinks directing to internal links such as Calendars. You are at the right place! Step 1:First you need to create a Project, in your project create a task and add the calendar link in the URL field of your task(e.g.Project > Task 1; URL=https//ZZZZ.my.workfront.com/calendars/ID            > Task 2; URL=https//ZZZZ.my.workfront.com/calendars/ID2) Step 2:Go to Reports and create a Task report. In the columns (view), delete all the columns except for the "Task Name" column.Select the "task name" column, then click on "Switch to Text mode" and copy paste the code below. Remember to change the "displayname" to what you want your column title to be:descriptionkey=namedisplayname=Content Calend

Each month I produce a report from data captured from the last calendar month. I thought I had set up the report so that I could reference it at any point in the following month and the data shown would be from the previous calendar month. I have attached a screen shot of the filter I have been using in a hour report, but now thinking that $$TODAY-1m actually means 1 month ago today. How do I make it be the end of the last calendar month without putting in the actual dates of the last calendar month - I need this to be a rolling report = low maintenance! Thanks for any help and hope this makes sense!  

Has anyone found a way to link to related issues (similar to creating a predecessor on tasks between two projects)?

Hello! Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but my users have been reporting that they can't open items from the approval widget into a new tab. When they click the item, it opens in the same tab instead. Users mentioned that they used to open items into a new tab but can't anymore. Is this functionality normal? 

Hello, did anybody already create a Business Rule using the API?The api-internal / api-unsupported provides the endpoint BSNRUL. Thanks in advance for any tips. RegardsLars

Hi All, I've created the following calculated field that works lovely except for the fact that when the first field in the calculation is empty, the field displays a comma before any of the following fields. Not a big deal but kind of an eyesore. How would I go about removing that first comma from the following calculation if the first field is blank? CONCAT({DE:CL 1:name},IF(ISBLANK({DE:CL 2:name}),"", ", "),{DE:CCL 2:name},IF(ISBLANK({DE:CL 3:name}),"", ", "),{DE:CL 3:name},IF(ISBLANK({DE:CUL 1:name}),"", ", "),{DE:CUL 1:name},IF(ISBLANK({DE:CUL 2:name}),"", ", "),{DE:CUL 2:name},IF(ISBLANK({DE:CUL 3:name}),"", ", "),{DE:CUL 3:name},IF(ISBLANK({DE:PL 1:name}),"", ", "),{DE:PL 1:name},IF(ISBLANK({DE:PL 2:name}),"", ", "),{DE:PL 2:name},IF(ISBLANK({DE:PL 3:name}),"", ", "),{DE:PL 3:name})

I want to know if there is a way to pull a report or filter to find the list of Layout templates where a specific dashboard has been attached i.e., either on the home bar or on the left navigation panels of any objects.

Hi all,I'm currently looking to capture the cumulative amount of time a request spends in each different status. I was referencing this old post which has a lot of great information on tracking the dates but I'm looking for the time. Has anyone done this before and do you have any tips? Thanks!

The subject says it all.  Does anyone know how to add a column in the Programs view that shows how many projects are under each program?  I would want to filter out complete, dead, etc. TIA!

Working on a report and I only want it to bring in a certain hour type's actual hours - basically take Actual Work Required and remove any hours of a certain type. I want to have it as a column header, since I want all tasks to show even if they do not have hours for that Hour Type. I have been trying to come up with a solution and just want to make sure this is even possible? I think it should work since Hours and their details are found at the Task level. Or maybe not since it is trying to bring in many to one (many hour entries to one task)? Thanks! 

Is it possible to change the group of a custom form? I'm not seeing a way to do that. I've been researching the documentation and community site without finding anything to help answer this question.When and how is a group assigned to a custom form?

I have filters set on a report to show "Contract Types - Is Not Blank" and "Project Owner - Peter Disalvo", per screenshot 1. As screenshot 2 shows, the report is showing both blank Contract Type fields and project owned by other users.
