Notes Report: Does anyone know a way to group updates/comments/notes by thread (parent note)? Or show all comments as a discussion in the Notes report.In the example below I would like to show the reply (thank you) under the parent (per Slack with ...).
"Hi Everyone, I'm Jesh, a User Experience Designer at Workfront, and for this study I'm interested in having anyone in the community take a look at this card sorting activity. It’s a way to help us in Product better understand how we might organize information into more intuitive categories. Think of this like having a bunch of cards in front of your with words on them and I’m asking you to move them around into categories that you can then name. This shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes. 10 if you’re really indecisive. I would love to have as many responses as possible! Simply follow this link to participate. Thanks!
Hi WF Community, We're trying see an aggregate rollup at 2 grouping levels (parent task and project) for Hours Burned. We're close to accomplishing this with text mode (aggregator), but the numbers (percentages) are a little off.Here's what we have so far: The Hours Burned (Parent) column is a percentage based on Total Billable Hours - Task / Planned Hours As you can see, the percentages in the Hours Burned (Parent) column are incorrect If I unravel the Parent Name sub-grouping, each task is a row, and the Hours Burned (Parent) values are correct - they just don't roll up to the grouping levels accurately Here is the text mode we're using for the Hours Burned (Parent) column: aggregator.displayformat=doubleAsPercentRoundedaggregator.function=AVGaggregator.namekey=Total Billable Hours - Taskaggregator.valueexpression=CONCAT((ROUND((DIV({DE:Total Billable Hours - Task},({workRequired})/60)*100),2)),"%")aggregator.valuefield=DE:Total Billable Hours - Taskaggregat
Hi everyone, I would like to create a copy of a file in Workfront using Fusion, any tips how to approach this? There is no "copy" action in Misc module, so my plan would be to: 1. download the file 2. upload the file as many times as needed I don't think this is most optimal, but I'm not sure if there is any better approach. Looking forward to hear your thoughts. Best R
Hi there, I am looking for a way to add a free text field into a project view that our project managers can enter manually into. The intention is creating an EAC that goes by project revenue, and not cost. We would like project managers to manually update planned hours in this free text column. In doing so we can compare this with original planned hours and get an updated EAC based on that. Any questions, let me know. Thanks, Alex
Been trying to create what should be a simple or common report, but oddly enough i'm not seeing the fields needed. Scenario and Logic: We typically have many people listed as assigned to a single a task with their respective planned hours, which neatly rolls up a sum of their planned hours to the single task. These staff members typically each have a unique primary job role as well. Report: using a Hours Report to showcase which job role collected actual hours within a project. Which works as planned. BUT the need is to show value by comparing planned hours vs actuals. And not sure if I am missing the correct field here, but planned hours field only pulls the task in whole not the associated and planned time to the person/role. Which makes the report useless. Additionally will want to use the same data/report base to show utilization if a particular role is over 100% or any given percentage value.&nb
Hello, I've been having an issue where there is an extra blank page at the bottom of proofs. It is a horizontal page and it happens intermittently. Any idea why this is happening?
saw this login on my logs: ";`cat /etc/passwd` failed to log in" then followed by Admin failed to login, but we are not using the admin profile to login. What could this mean?
Adobe Workfront Mobile team is working on bringing Agile Boards' functionalities into our mobile application. We would really appreciate getting your early feedback on our ongoing prototypes. The testing should take about 10-15 minutes. If you're interested, please use this link to start testing! Thank you.Anna Balyan,Sr. UX Designer, Adobe Workfront. #mobile
While working in the 'New Experience' it would be nice to have hot keys such as CTRL + P to pin a page. Other hot key commands that would help would be:Unpin a pageClose a pageOpen a new pageGo to SearchMove to a pinned page leftMove to a pinned page rightStar/Favorite a page
Hello, I have just taken over as Admin for this company's WF. Previously request queues were made but were not identified as such by the custom status. I am trying to make a report to see all projects acting as request queues but all the filters I have tried bring back nothing or too many. Anyone have a good solution?
Is there a way to set up a user to only get notifications if another specific user makes comments/decisions on a proof?
Starting today, I keep receiving email notifications for projects that myself and others are not on. Anyone else having that issue?
It's been commonly requested for a long time that Workfront add a "Last Viewed Date" parameter for Dashboards to help identify abandoned dashboards. Typically, identifying abandoned dashboards has been done by making a Report report, filtering by the Report last viewed date, and including a collections column of Dashboards in the report's view. You can then assume that if a report hasn't been viewed in over a year, the dashboard(s) it appears on also haven't been viewed in over a year. This approach works fine, but it can be tedious because you have to look at the names of the dashboards in the view, then go manually search for and delete them one by one. The below approach is to instead create a Dashboard report, then use an EXISTS statement to only return dashboards that contain at least one report that hasn't been viewed in the indicated span of time. This allows you to bulk select and delete all the dashboards at once. Filter: (replace 1y with whatever timeframe you
It would be helpful in some of my forms if I coulld test fields that exist outside the form. For instance if I could test a users level, group, team or any of our custom fields.
It would be great if Workfront could send an email notification to Project Owner/ Team members of teams assigned to tasks whenever a task or issue status changes. For example: when a task changes from "New" to "In Progress" or to "Complete", it would be amazing if the Project Owner and Team members could receive a notification to let them know. Right now, project owners who are assigning a large volume of tasks, have to go into reports/dashboards to check the status and they would prefer to receive an email notification so that they don't have to worry about the status and updates.
Did you know? You can change ID numbers to names in reports. Have you ever created a report only to find that one of the columns is displaying what appears to be nonsense information instead of the data you expected? Perhaps, as you look at your project report, you realize that it’s displaying the ID number instead of the names for the project owner and the project owner’s manager. Just a few edits will get both of those columns switched so they display names instead. This week's Workfront Wednesday walks you through these steps, in the context of a project report. Let's walk through this together in a Project Report: Starting from the report itself, go to Report Actions and select Edit. Click the Columns (Views) tab. Start with the project owner’s column in the bottom of the window. You see that the report is using Owner ID. This is why the ID number is displaying in the report instead of the name. Click the column in the preview area to select it. This displays th
Attempting to send a single report to all managers with their direct reports' overdue tasks using the Assigned to ManagerID = $$USERID as a filter. So far, tests have been unsuccessful. Is there a proper way to set up & send the report?
I am trying to generate a report that includes the planned start date of a task, but also includes the Week Number that corresponds to the Planned Start Date of the task. In Excel, I can use the WEEKNUM function. Is there a way to do this in a WorkFront report column? Thanks! Susan Browning Internet Testing Systems

Recently our team has noticed that the Predecessor/Successor icon has gone missing from the Task header. Does anyone have any insight on this? Is there a way that we can get this back on the header for tasks? I've attached the image of the icon that's missing and where it was originally located.
At the top of projects it would be helpful to be able to customize what you want to see to be able to add perhaps Project Sponsor, Latest PM updates notes - custom field. Sometimes people don't want to scroll through all the updates, so if the Project Manager could be identified in the system and either at the top or in the Updates you could go right to their updates - perhaps they are highlighted in red or there was an option - Latest PM Update and you click it and it takes you right to it in the updates? Thank you!
A key responsibility for Workfront System Administrators is understanding - and then executing - regular system maintenance and cleanup tasks. But what does that mean?

Hello! Submitting this Enhancement request here!We've received numerous requests for customization to the Header when looking at a Project. Users would like to be able to customize this area with custom data field and also to provide more relevant status visuals that reflect our instance of Workfront.Header Customization - we have a few fields imperative to our business that are often referenced. Today, these fields live on the Project Custom Form, and we pull them into reports, but when looking at a project, users have commented it would be so nice to have these in the header.Project Status Customization - today, you have the % status of completion for a project and various status types across all objects, projects included, that provide an understanding of the state of ones work. Building on these status, our user base was curious if there's a vision in the future for having a status bar that is more visual in nature and not connected to Tasks that would provide an understand
