Adobe Workfront General

When a system admin is doing large bulk updates, especially on historical data or back-end data, they often do not need to notify the project owner, etc. of the update. These notifications happen when a closed project has to be reopened, updated and reclosed. This causes confusion to project owners as to why an old project is being touched.Suggestion: On bulk update, add a checkbox to "disable notifications during this bulk update"

I like the auto-align feature but wish I could turn it off at will. I want to be able to lock a scenario layout so it can't be moved around. Some of my layouts get very complex and when the system decides it is going to move things around it wreaks havoc and I have to reposition every module. Thanks!

This may apply to other types of modules, but the Search module is the one where it is most prevalent to me.I would like to see the search module interface changed to be easier to work with in environments where there are a lot of custom fields. Instead of it loading every custom field in the system as part of the Search Criteria and Outputs, have it only load the system fields by default. Then have a place where you can provide an ID of the custom custom forms whose custom fields you want to be included as well. Or you could have a list of checkboxes with the custom forms listed and let them be selected that way. personally, i like the idea of just making me provide the ID rather than having to store that whole list of custom forms in the module. This could cut down on the size that the module adds to your blueprint because the list of custom forms is inherently always going to be smaller than the list of custom fields in the system. More so if you just make the end user provide

When there are a lot of items in a scenario's queue due to a user trigging the scenario multiple times there should be a way to customize the view of the queue list. If the scenario has actually stopped I have the opportunity to compare the details of each item in the queue and remove duplicates, but finding those duplicates is difficult when I need to go into each one.In the instance on 6/27/2022 where event subscriptions were delayed I had people trying to trigger events multiple times so I went into Fusion and turned a couple scenarios off so that I would have a chance to review those queues when the delay was over. Once scenario had 56 issues to be converted to projects by Fusion, but the scenario's queue had 93 items listed due to users triggering the scenario multiple times. Finding those duplicate IDs was a challenge, if I could create a view that showed the New State: ID in a column, dups would be easier to identify

We are looking for a way to see additional project details in the Programs area of Workfront. We are thinking that the Task and Issue Summary Tab would be a great option to add to the Program>Projects area . If the functionality was available within the Program we could quickly click the box next to the project> open summary>send an update, see overview details, possibly see custom form details,,ect..

I'd like to be able to "attach" a project to a general update that I might be making from the Portfolio updates area. Right now you only can go into an individual project it seems to make an "update" which will show up on the porfolio updates, but if making an update from the porfolio, it would be nice to be able to attach the appropriate project(s).

Add ability to put the approvers name to the root folder as well as send only one notification. Also, on this same root folder to be able to add an update, instead of doing it on a single document to add an update.

I would like to enter ongoing sustainment tasks that are operational in nature to Workfront but not have them tied to a project. Since by definition a project is a temporary endeavor with a start date and an end date. This continuous task is done at a certain cadence so how do I accomplish this goal?

We need more options of the layout within a Dashboard and how the Reports are laid out. These current ridged layouts don't always allow me to build out a dashboard the best way for the usage.Allowing more of a grid layout that we can then drag and drop our reports on that we can Snap to a grid.This would allow for more flexibility of the reports showing on the layout that better suits the function of the Dashboard. For example i may want a small chart to the far left but the report next to it should span aprox 2 columns to allow for the most information to be shown. I may also then want a report or image under that that spans the whole area.Then 2 reports side by side underneath.

You should be able to "Cancel" a task without removing the predecessors or needing them to be completed. It's not only cumbersome when trying to batch cancel, it also seems illogical because if you need to make them active again, you don't have the context that was initially surrounding them.

have created a Task Report where I have grouped the results by Status. I would like the order of these statuses to be:- New- In Progress- Complete- On Hold- CancelledAs these are all default statuses, it is not possible to edit their KEY to put them in a different order. The only viable workaround would be to create new custom statuses and custom keys (as they are ordered alphabetically by their keys). I wish I could order the statuses in any way I want, and creating new custom statuses would cause too much trouble an re-work, it is simply not worth.

When bulk uploading Users using a Kickstarter template, I am unable to upload the Users' Managers because the template requires the Managers' IDs. We may already be uploading the Managers at the same time and won't have their WF Manager IDs but DO have their name and email address/user name. It would be very useful to be able to set up the User-Manager relationship during the bulk upload.

The list of mobile devices for interactive proofs is woefully out of date. It would be great if an update is in the works. I understand that we can add custom sizes, but it seems like the list should have something more recent than an iPhone X.

Provide more Frequently used scenario templates in Fusion

I'd like to see a personal calendar in addition to the time off that can be used to mark time unavailable for projects, such as when a worker is attending a conference, a class or a team meeting. I'd like to see options to add categories for calendar items and notes so that reporting can be pulled.

As the On Hold Status does not allow an Issue to be notified or actioned - Why allow the issue to be raised at all. Suggestion is to not allow the Issue to be raised while the Project is in On Hold Status. This would eliminate the confusion of raising an Issue that cannot be Actioned or Notified, essentially the Issue is stuck in nowhere land while the Project is On Hold.

Add search bar in updates section so that I can see all the updates made on a particular field. This can also be a filter to multi-select fields.Example: I want to track all the status updates and condition updates.

When you share a view at the project level and the end user receives the email link, it takes you to "Home" when you click on the link. Most of our people don’t live in "Home", so it taking you to a place that wasn’t shared with you, is completely confusing. Have the link in the email notification take you to the shared view.

Current view of Team Requests screen is limited to type of request submitted, user making the request, date of the request and the Work On It/Start button. Would like to be able to add additional fields/visibility onto this screen in a similar fashion as reports and issue/task/report views.

As part of a recent update, the ability to edit the status of a timesheet inline from the timesheet list was removed. This, coupled with the changes to the overall timesheet list visuals, has made it very difficult to make quick updates and revisions to timesheets.As a related comment, PLEASE stop removing functionality without understanding the full downstream impacts of doing so. If you feel the need to remove functionality, please consider adding a setting to allow users that WANT to continue to use the functionality being removed, to continue to use it.

We are wanting to set caps or restrictions on certain resources in our resource pools so that they only have a specific number of hours allotted for the year to limit their engagement in Workfront. This use case is governed by certain contracts or seasonality of the workers. Does anyone else have a similar use case and how to support this need? Any inputs or feature enhancements in Workfront would be great to include this ask for putting a limit or cap on certain resources within the resource pool.

Provide Tool / Capability to Bulk Edit database records based on record ID to Migrate data, update in Bulk via API. Similar to Kick Start but for updating data rather than creating new.

When something gets copied, (especially projects, but also tasks, issues, etc. - anything that can be copied in the system), we want to know from what object it was copied. Ideally, a link to the object in its Details tab. Also, being able to report on the original object's name and ID.

need proof hq to properly integrate with workfront meaning that it is a seamless addition to include a proof approval task to any worker OR reviewers dashboard. currently project managers have to take more then 3 steps to even try to make this kind of work and you still cannot sort in order of priority OR see time in which it is due. For actual proof readers & creative team members who owe approvals there is often a time associated with the task and you cannot see this within the tool only in the initial email the person gets which defeats the purpose of teaching people to rely on the my work dashboard as their guide. Because of this we are unable to prioritize work as project managers that needs to be approved/proofed etc. And for the people proofing/approving etc. there is no easy way to see what is needed to be done and by when.
