Adobe Workfront General

Everyone, I've been made aware that Workfront intents to stop support and development on non-Outlook365 platforms, to include 2010 and 2013. If you're like me, and work for a company with "sensitive" information that will preclude the use of a web based platform, and will never migrate to Outlook365, you'll lose support for the Outlook plug-in functionality. That said, WF has said that if there is enough support to keep the plug-in, they would consider and potentially support the app in perpetuity. Please chime in here if you need the continued support for the plug-in. ViaSat will continue to need the plug-in and it's support in perpetuity!!! -Edit- I'm bumping this as WF is again scheduling the removal of support for the desktop app in leu of Outlook 365, which is the web based platform, only... If you want/need this service, please comment here and vote to keep this feature supported in the platform!!!

All votes have been moved to the original: Allow screenshots in updates/comments We are looking for the ability to add documents in the regular notification/updates on task and project as well as have any documents added and comments made in documents section to roll up under the main updates feed on tasks and projects. We have always had the two linked in previous PM software and its odd and often frustrating that they are separate entities in WF. A PM or contributor shouldnt have to click around in multiple locations to get the most up to date info on a project's status.

We have made reports and dashboards for things like transitioning out users, adding new users, and they would make the most sense if they lived under the People tab, but we can not customize the tabs there. Please let us add tabs there.

We'd like the ability to restart numbering on issues per project. We try to reference specific issue numbers in calls with our customers. It's easy to say "let's look at issue #3" vs "let's look at issue #40275". The long numbers are meaningless to consumers of the issues list.

When users with proof licenses upload documents in a request queue, the proof is not automatically generated. The proof must be manually generated. Since the Generate Proof function was moved to Document Details, users who receive multiple requests for proofing have to first generate the proof before they can work. Either move the Generate Proof button back to the doc folder or enable auto proof generation in Request Queues.

It would be awesome to view a project plan as a network diagram similar to the image below: http://www.projectminds.com/Article14_clip_image002.jpg

Workfront Notification of New Announcement It's great that we get an Email Notification of New Announcements! How about a Workfront Notification of new Announcements? Something very simple: when a user launches Workfront, a pop-up displays on their Home page: Thoughts? Thank you! Jay Schertzer

There were a number of people who have figured out ways to shorten their links on their reports by using custom form fields - unfortunately, the report I work on is not related to objects that can have custom form attached. What I'd like to see is a way to shorten a long link created via valueexpression to a short link eg valueexpression=CONCAT("https://extraaaaaaaaaaaaaaalong_link_name") to appear as a clickable View me on the report.

We need a way to prevent comments/updates being applied to tasks or issues that have been completed. Scope creep is better managed if we can restrict users from going back to completed tasks with questions or comments about historic matters which will force users to create new requests as a result. Configurations settings at a user or group level to this end would be ideal

Hello All, We were looking for a way to modify the Approve and Reject buttons within Workfront. It seems simple but we have users who think that "reject" is harsh and want to be able to call it "not approved" Thanks, Al

Currently if you send a report to a list of users, each user gets the same report delivered. If the report has a $$USER.ID filter, it is ignored. If the person clicks the link on the report, the report is properly filtered. The only option to get the properly filtered report to all the users is to create a new version for each user with the person explicitly listed in the filter. This means 200+ variations of each report in my case. It would be SO much easier for the SEND REPORT logic to cycle through each user and apply the $$USER.ID filter as needed. Perhaps a checkbox on the send report to indicate "User $$USER.ID Logic" or something like that.

The HTML5 New proof screen is not responsive to the size of a user's browser window. User must keep their browser window wider than 1100 pixels. Below 1100 pixels wide, the screen adds a scroll bar along the bottom. 1100 pixels is a fairly high threshold to expect a person to keep their browser window that large at all times, so most websites these days are coded responsively to react to the size of a viewer's window. Although this issue involves the New Proof page, I was advised to enter "Proof Viewer" as the topic.

Allow Contacts Area to be Customized by Admins. Allow fields be added to this Contact Report, e.g. the Position Field from the User Details

When viewing a document, the right-side panel used to feature a list of people who had been tagged for approval. This was useful for transparency. Could it be restored?

My teams at MetLife use Box as a complete document repository. We have a secured account with Box that requires an SSO login. The problem with using Workfront is that the start of the URL of the SSO login (https://app.box.com) is blocked by the MetLife web filter. The only workaround is to copy the link from the popup and change the URL to start with https://metlife.ent.box.com, instead. This worked, but is a convoluted way of doing it. I reached out to the Workfront Customer Support team who said that there is no current setting to allow users to configure the Box host URL. I was then instructed to submit a New Feature request. So, here it is. Below is the previous support request number which should provide even further context. Support Request #1156804: Unable to Attach Docs from BOX

A "view as client" button available to all users: I sometimes want to share my screen with the client and show them Workfront. However, if I do so, they see all of the "Private to my Company" updates that I have put in. A good solution to this would be a "View as client" option where I temporarily only see Workfront updates that are public, and not private to my company.

Being able to customize how often digest emails are received would be great. Our users often get bombarded with emails set to instant notification, but a single daily digest is too long to wait with the type of projects that we do. Options such as digests every 15/30/60 minutes have been requested. Also, a digest of all tasks a user has been assigned to for a specific project, instead of individual emails for each task has also been requested.

Needs collapsible comments, like the old viewer (where only the name appeared ‚Äì be good to have as an option to turn on/off for those who prefer having comments viewable as well). On the comments section it would help that if the comments that are not being viewed at the moment would collapse in height so you only see the name and the tick. Like on the old viewer. The contrast is not big enough in the new version so that when we have about 90 comments it get’s irritating on which one is open or which has been done. The old legacy viewer does this so much better. Also the arrows that scroll between the comments are much better on the comment rather than on the size. They are in grey so not very noticeable on the right hand side. Below is preferable - Below is the new version, this is not preferable.

When we have an approval flow linked to the completion status of a task, it is important that when denying and the task goes to the previous state, the percentage completed does not change to 0, but that it keeps the last percentage entered by the user.

This post has been closed as a duplicate. All votes have been moved to the original: Parent/Child Projects Having 4-5 levels would have significantly helped our design and implementation. In order to work around the limiting number of levels, we built patchwork solutions to satisfy the requirement of more levels without having more than 3 available. This is now an issue because people are looking for task level reports because they need a level below project In our instance, we would have preferred to have: Department Product Program Project Instead we have: Department Product/Program Project and people are using projects as programs and tasks as projects in order to get to the reporting levels needed. This also means that Project now represents two different levels depending on how it was implemented.

We need the ability to assign form fields to groups or give it a value that is hidden from the form user. Having to name fields with special codes that our form users see is very frustrating.

I'm adding to a custom form, and because product codes will change annually, I want to have a hyperlink to google sheets for requester to select the right code. I don't want the codes listed in the custom form since these aren't final.

Where’s the folder option to quickly find all the proofs in 1 set?

On the new viewer I cannot see the list of reviewers anymore like on the old one. Ability to edit/delete reviewers within the viewer (currently have to go back to the details page to edit). This is the old version, very preferable.
