Workfront project page view

Has anyone had luck with making the project view more visually appealing? Like alternating color bars? Just simple things like you can do in Excel or Word.

Hi @debbiebe,

 

Natively, I often click the Gantt button to add the visual duration aspect and sort by either Start or End date for some logical context. In some cases (depending on the other columns being shown), having the Gantt shown also "tightens" the vertical spacing to a consistent height, which appeals to me. Although alternating backgrounds likely be too difficult on s project view (since there is no rownum as such, to my knowledge), you might also consider custom formatting (eg make each row a certain background color based on status, owner, etc).

 

Beyond the native UI techniques, you could also consider leveraging the Workfront API to tailor your own visuals, which I'd be happy to discuss further offline via doug.denhoed@atappstore.com

 

Regards,

Doug
