Workfront report filter
I am working on a Workfront report that groups projects by lifecycle stages (Analysis, Requirements and Planning, Implementation Phase, and Release).
Currently, the report filter uses the following criteria:
-
Task Name contains "Analysis"
-
Task Name contains "Requirements and Planning"
-
Task Name contains "Implementation Phase"
-
Task Name contains "Release"
The issue is that some parent tasks that are not actual lifecycle stage tasks are being included because their names contain one of these keywords.
ex: Delay Implementation -- it is not lifecycle stage, I need the starting should be filtered.
ex: Implementation Phase | Started -- It is lifecycle stage.
I attempted to change the filter from cicontains to operators such as beginswith and startswith, but Workfront returns an "Invalid Parameter" error for both modifiers.
Is there a supported way in Workfront reporting to filter tasks whose names start with specific values, or is there a better approach to ensure only the actual lifecycle stage parent tasks are included in the report?
Any recommendations or best practices would be appreciated.
