Re: Contact Management - Add/list view/reporting - Workfront 03-07-2019
OMGpleaseThankYouYes.The workaround of putting all the vendor information as user info in WF (even though those contacts won't use the system) is really a non-starter because of the chaos and clutter.This is not the only need WF has for little sub-databases of project/process information as well as the cascading/hierarchical fields that would pair nicely with them (select company, which then allows sub-select of contact, which then auto-populates contact information).WF should look at this as an...

Timeclock for HR Compliance - Workfront 26-06-2019
TimeSHEETs certainly do their job of tracking work on a task, but to comply with state laws for hourly workers, we would like some way to get a timeCLOCK: that is, a way for a user to record start/stop on:Workday/shiftBreaksLunchWe looked at add-on solutions to Workfront by third party vendors, but they mostly just improve upon the timeSHEETs without the timeCLOCK functionality we need.Because of this our users must use an additional separate system to log these time records and then we have to ...

Re: Is there a way to change field type? - Workfront 20-06-2019
Yeah, this is great news! I went over and added my 2¢ worth based on my experiences during configuration/implementation. Hoping they will consider the ability to swap between: Radio, checkbox, and dropdown menus (i.e., all value list types) Text, Number, and Currency types (i.e., string field formatting/output) Single-Line and Paragraph (i.e., string field types) Goodness knows I've had to create, recreate, fix, tweak, and swear-at fixes like these as people change their minds or I make mista...

Re: Removing the Subject field from the Request form - Workfront 18-06-2019
To add to Bob Sleigh's comment #2: Rename any, or at least more off, the system fields so they'd be more useful. I already think it's cool we can rename so many interface elements, this would be a plus. Something that has had limited traction in Idea Exchange that could be implemented at the same time is the idea of a "coding field name". Don't know the proper term, but it's the idea is the field "name" that the user sees (which in our case is often long-winded sentences or questions) is separat...

Re: Is there a way to change field type? - Workfront 18-06-2019
Yeah I wish this was easier. During the rush of implementation I found myself with Text fields that needed to be Currency or Number, Radios that needed to be Checkbox or Menu, Single-Line that needed to be Paragraph, etc. Let's just say we were rushed and shooting from the hip is not always the best plan. I'd be interested to hear from Skye how this "clean up" would work, since I assume that means somehow transferring the values from the old field into the new field before deletion to keep repor...

Re: Ability to convert the field type to another field type - Workfront 18-06-2019
I hope this includes moving between:Radio, checkbox, and dropdown menus (i.e., all value list types)Text, Number, and Currency types (i.e., string field formatting/output)Single-Line and Paragraph (i.e., string field types)These are all mistakes easy to make during design of a form, or simply a requested change of UI down the road.

Nested/Grouped AND/OR Filters - Workfront 17-06-2019
Is there a way to get a filter on a report such as: ( customField_1 = someValue OR customField_1 = someOtherValue ) AND customField_2 = yetAnotherValue Or in English: Filter by "the users has chosen one of two specific values from a longer value list AND they've chosen one specific value in another field." I watched the Advanced Reporting videos a couple weeks ago, and remember the multi-AND (1 and 2 and 3) type, but don't recall them covering mixing ANDs and ORs in the same filter. Kevin Quosig

Re: Removing the Subject field from the Request form - Workfront 14-06-2019
Vazgen, I think you meant well trying to get out a quick fix, but you tripped-up in three places: You violated the long-standing procedure of NOT doing knee-jerk feature requests. Such changes should always follow the Preview/QA process so you can get feedback instead of panic from people expecting to review it. Not sure why you felt it was so urgent to make a change that made barely anyone happy and most people probably weren't aware of. Seems like no one wants the quick fix: they want the actu...

Re: Removing the Subject field from the Request form - Workfront 13-06-2019
"Request Name" or "Project Name" or even back to "Subject" because...people will enter their name. Ugh, I already went through the trouble to do a calculated field to map "Subject" to "Request Name" on my own so it shows properly on our custom forms...now this? Kevin Quosig

Re: Idea Exchange Promotion - Workfront 06-06-2019
I want to promote: Autonumber Field (aka Serial Number Generation): >https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSAoAAO/detail Kinda surprised at Workfront's attitude of "well, we had it, but because some other customer didn't like it, we changed it...no tags back." So I upvoted and commented on the chance the attention will cause them to add the feature without taking another feature away as a result. Kevin Quosig
