Greetings - I'm looking for some help with Project Conditions. I think this is a setting issue but I'm not finding it. We want when a task is overdue for the projectr to show In Trouble. What does the Project setting and Task settings need to be for that to happen? Thank you!
If you have the Condition Type of the project set to Automatic, then the Condition of the project is determined by the project's Progress Status. The project's Progress Status is in turn figured based on the progress of the tasks on a project. (At least, that's the simple explanation that I used when I taught Workfront classes.)
Progress Status of a task is calculated based on the relation of its Planned Completion Date to the date types (Projected, Estimated, Actual ... and task constraints factor into this). This is calculated automatically by Workfront, so there are not settings to control this.
This article has some details about project Condition in general: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/manage-work/projects/manage-projects/project-condition-and-condition-type
And this article explains how the project Progress Status is calculated: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/manage-work/projects/plan-a-project/project-progress-status
Info about task Progress Status and how its calculated: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/manage-work/tasks/task-information/task-progress-status
Of course, you could set the Condition Type of the project to Manual, so then project managers could manually adjust the project Condition as they needed.
