Last night we were migrated to the "unified shell". This morning our Group Administrators can no longer see the "Project Preferences" menu in Setup. It's possible this was the case prior to last night, but it's definitely a recent change. Is Project Preferences now only accessible to System Admins? Was this an intentional change? Are any of you seeing the same thing?
Hi Workfront Community, I'm setting up project Status values in a new org, and I've dragged and dropped them (in Setup) in the order I wish to see them when on a project, but they are not appearing in the correct order. Not sure if this matters, but since you can't delete or hide the standard statuses "Current" and "Planning", I renamed them. This is the order I want This is the order I'm getting (but don't want) Any idea why this might be happening?Thanks,Nick
When using the 'updates' function or tab, it would be useful for our teams to be able to utilize this space in a fashion similar to email. IE- to add colored text to responses, in order to differentiate between users. Also, it would be helpful to allow certain updates to be 'pinned' to the top of the page so they don't get lost. OR to categorize them as "bulletins or job notes" of some kind to set them apart from the back and forth threads.
Hi all, We're looking to update some of our task reports to include a column that displays the user that assigned that task, I feel like there's probably a very easy way to do this but I'm struggling to implement it. Any suggestions?

Description - Would love to be able to see user active statuses within Workfront to see who is active in WF, away or offline similar to Teams chat.Why is this feature important to you - This will allow us to see who we may need to follow up with outside of Workfront and/or escalate to another person on their team/manager.How would you like the feature to work - Colored circular icon next to each users name as it appears throughout the system - login, project owner, updates, task assignments, etc.Current Behaviour - N/A
When a project is being assigned sometimes there are multiple team members for one specific role working on it, workload balancer only lets you assign to one role and the rest is manual work, it would be a game changer if this minor edit is made
Description - In the current single advanced proofing workflow, once a user is added to a stage, they can no longer be included in a later stage of the approval process. This creates the need to manually issue a second workflow if an individual user acts an an initial and a final approver. Some smaller teams I have worked with rely on one or two people to both do initial approvals and feedback while then also being the "final" approver, once all team member have given then comments and approvals.Why is this feature important to you -The need to manually create a new workflow for a "final" approval creates drag in the SLA's of certain proofing Workflows, or requires Fusion to act as a intelligent trigger to make the new workflow. For small marketing teams, Fusion is usually cost prohibitive.How would you like the feature to work - I would like an individual user to be able to be applied to each stage in an advanced proofing workflow. This will allow small teams in which managers act as
Howdy folks! 🤠 Your "On-Demand Workfront CSM" @CynthiaBoon is back with another “Top 3” video! Looking for new, efficient ways to present your information in a report? Give the Shared (or Summary) Columns idea a try! We get lots of questions on how to use Text Mode to combine information into a report, so we have a step-by-step video as well as some resources below to get you started. First thing! As promised, here is the documentation article on how to get started with building a shared column. View: merge information from multiple columns in one shared column In the video, I reference some slightly different text mode than from the Experience League article (link above), so the code that I use in the demo is provided below. 📌 Pro-tip: Sometimes Text Mode doesn't copy and paste well so you may have to retype it into a reference document, but at l
Description - The process of planning an iteration on the Backlog tab of the New Experience is not intuitive and causes a lot of problems when trying to respect a teams capacity when planning an iteration. Why is this feature important to you - Users must be able to easily see if stories selected exceed the total iteration capacity during the planning of an iteration in order to respect the teams capacity. This will also make it much easier for user to properly plan iterations without having to go back and forth through pages in Workfront. How would you like the feature to work - When a user wishes to plan/create a new iteration from the Backlog tab, the user can click on the "Plan Iteration" button and a new section appears above the list of stories. The user can enter the necessary iteration information (name, start date, end date, focus, capacity, and goal). The user can also see in the same section the total capacity available for the iteration (capacity x focus). The use
Hello! When using the Workload Balancer, you can see everyone's projects that they have been assigned to. If a project has fallen behind, for example, a designer (role) has a task that was planned to be completed two weeks ago, that task does not appear on the WLB for the current week. Is there a way to know/see tasks (of e.g. designers) for fallen behind projects for the current week? -- so that when we go assigned new tasks for designers, we can take into account fallen behind projects.
issue: The system shall provide functionality to sort project updates by date, displaying the latest updates at the top. This feature will be another option to the current grouping by topic/conversation, which hinders the ability to quickly locate recent comments. The new sorting mechanism will ensure that users can easily find the most recent updates within the project interface.justification: The current method of grouping updates by topic/conversation makes it difficult to track the latest comments, leading to an over-reliance on emails for status updates. Implementing date-based sorting will streamline the process of finding recent updates, thereby improving efficiency and reducing dependency on external communication channels.What is Not an acceptable Enhancement:Only sorting updates by topic/conversation via the search bar, without the option to sort by date and date range.
We group our weekly campaigns into portfolios for easy viewing, but as of the last week, we are unable to add the existing projects into a portfolio. We get an error message saying: Error loading secondary content... Is anyone else having this issue?
Hi, I was going to switch on the AI Assistant for our instance but have discovered that my company has such a rigorous approvals process for any AI assisted tech that it can takes months to get approved. Given all the hype around AI I would be interested if other are actually using it. We're thinking this could be very useful especially at request level from a traffic and triage perspective to summarise what the request/project is about. So this can be the first stage of Triage to collate all the data in a summarised point. This can speed up having to read through the whole request form but most importantly highlight what is missing?? Audience? Objective? Messaging hierarchy etc. Thanks in advance Geraint
Thank you to all who attended and participated in today's Calculated Custom Field workshop with the Adobe Workfront Customer Success team. There were so many great ideas shared in the chat, so I'll add those as replies below.If you missed the session, no worries - here is a link to the recording (expired May 2024) and a copy of the slide deck with instructions and ready-to-use formulas is attached. We discussed best practices and tips for creating custom forms and walked through 3 calculated custom field examples:Identify the date(s) of status changes - use this to understand how long a work item was in a specific status (ex: On Hold)Link to a tab on an object (ex: Link to Hours tab -- creating a clickable URL for users "Click here to log time")Calculate the number of days between Actual Start and Planned Start or Actual Completion and Planned CompletionI encourage those in attendance to share the formulas and a short description of the calculated custom fields your organization
Description - From one of my users, can we get the ability to delete a proof version in the "All Versions" page of a proof document? It makes more sense than having it only in the proof summary area, where you need to go through multiple clicks to get where you want. Why is this feature important to you - more efficient way to delete versions How would you like the feature to work - noted above, delete from the All versions location (picture 1)Current Behaviour - noted above, it shows in the proof summary location for version deletion (picture 2)
Hi,Any guidance;We wish to involve outside suppliers to connect our Workfront system for request management and later for project management. The supplier has their own email id different from Kverneland email id? In current situation we are using single sign-on in our organisation to login Workfront.What are steps required to be followed to provide them to connect in our Workfront and access request management?Regards,
For managing external users in Workfront (and AEM Assets as well), has anyone used an Enterprise identity platform (Okta Ping, Duo, AD, etc, etc) with Adobe IMS/Admin Console? What was the user experience like that you and your IT team setup?
Hi - I want to create a Program View that displays the planned start date of the first task in every project's timeline. I cannot use Project Planned Start Date because many of the projects have cross-project predecessors, so the Project Planned Start Date is different from Task #1's Planned Start Date. Any help is appreciated!
Previously, the template name was included with the Template Task ID selection for reporting. This allowed us to select the appropriate template task when we had multiple template tasks with the same name. We are aware of the workaround of using the Task Name and Template ID filters together; however, this is not ideal as our PMs sometimes change the task name after a project is created.
Times change. People change. Processes change. And we must change with them. Nearly every customer that has used Workfront for more than two years realizes that what they implemented initially doesn’t match how they do things today; that what their leadership wanted years ago doesn’t align with what leadership wants today; and that the tidy, easy-to-manage system they once had has become overgrown with thousands of outdated and unused templates, reports, request queues and custom fields. In the spring of 2019, Workfront was no different. As a company, we are our oldest customer. We’ve used our work management software longer than any organization in the world. And we developed some bad habits along the way. For nearly two decades, our instance of Workfront has been the sandbox and test kitchen for hundreds of product managers, engineers, consultants and system administrators. Every one of our 1000+ employees had a plan license, giving them unfettered freedom to cre
Description - Allow Workfront administrators to activate/deactivate the "Show all users" button in the Workload Balancer at the project level.Why is this feature important to you - This will ensure the proper management of confidential information (user capacity) throughout the organisation.This will allow the Project Owner to only see the capacity of resources working on the project without How would you like the feature to work - Give Administrators the ability to deactivate the "Show all users" button in the Workload Balancer at the project level restricting the users' ability to the capacity of all the users within their company.Current Behaviour - Users' can view and click the "Show all users" button, allowing them to view the capacity of all the users within their company.
Description - there is a capability to add a column or status to the Kanban boards. We need that same capability to add columns to the Board view of a project/tasks since Adobe is moving away from Kanaban boards exisiting in Workfront.Why is this feature important to you - Kanban boards are allegedly not going to exist in Workfornt in the near future so the same functionalities the Kanban boards offer would be helpful to also have in the Boards view in a project.How would you like the feature to work - Quickly add a column and equate it to a status with custom text/headingsCurrent Behaviour - Doesn't exist. Feature exists only on Kanban boards under Teams, not within Boards under projects that we were instructed to begin using from here on out.
Hi, I have created some system wide statuses for issues in order to be visible in Team's setting for activating the 2 options "Work on it" and "Mark as done". The problem is that these statuses will be needed just for one group not for all, having them locked for all groups - that means they are visible for everybody and I cannot hide them. If I'm unlocking them in order to hide them for other groups, when I locked them again they overwrite the change made at group level.Please let me know if you encountered this situation and what will be the best resolution ?thanks,Bianca
Can I delete documents from a request queue and not lose them in their respective issues/requests. Or a related question: Do the documents I see listed in a request queue take up additional space on the server over and above the same documents residing in their respective issues/requests? Thank you!
