Re: Projects: Projects I own link
-WE
- Workfront 29-03-2018
We've buried the default Projects tab and are using dashboards in our custom layouts almost exclusively. It's made a world of difference for the users, as we put a good amount of thought into the content and appearance of the dashboards. My biggest gripe is that by making a dashboard the default interface for users, you lose the ability to broaden results outside your default report filters. For example, I have a project report that by default shows all open projects. But, from time to time I wa...

Re: Hi Community! is there a way to add a thumbnail on a project so it displays with the project name?

That's interesting, and brings to mind some other application areas where emoji could be used. Perhaps someone could have a custom task status that equates to complete but the name of the status is ‚úÖ . Typically when you display an icon in a report through the advanced settings, you lose the ability to edit that value inline, but this approach would actually show " ‚úÖ " throughout the system, even as a dropdown value. Or perhaps each of your teams could be identified with an emoji mas...

Re: Tip Jar Topic: Task or Issue?
-WE
- Workfront 19-03-2018
There is an additional constraint not addressed in this thread, about approvals. If you are capturing approvals for unplanned work to go forward, you typically don't want to lose that documentation. But converting the issue to a task will strip the approval path. We have some request queues where approved requests spawn a small handful of tasks. For the moment, we add a summary task to the request queue project with the same title as the approved request. We then add and assign the few children ...

Hi Tim, Try the attached method, and it should get you up and running in our SSO environment. Not sure who in Disney is responsible for the decision to enable/disable the add-on, but it is working for now. William English

I have not heard that, but really hope it is not the case. It's one of the best features of Workfront and I use it daily. It took me a while to figure out how to resolve the "cannot display content in a frame" error when using the add in on the locally installed Outlook application. Once I got past that, it became one of my favorite Workfront features. William English

Thanks Doug. I figured as much, but before completely ruling out the possibility thought I would check with the experts out there. Happy Monday! William English

Line breaks in a calculated field
-WE
- Workfront 05-03-2018
Is this possible? I'm using CONCAT to display multiple attributes in a calculated field. I would prefer to separate each attribute with a line break. Have tried actual line breaks within " " but that doesn't work. Ideas, or not possible? William English

Your guide to linking directly to __________ in Workfront.
-WE
- Workfront 15-02-2018
As promised in the recent thread about linking directly to a dashboard in a custom layout, attached is my documentation for deep linking to any specific tab or sub-tab in Workfront. I find the shortcuts for global landing pages (projects, reports, requests) to be useful for bookmarking, but the object-specific shortcuts can be very powerful in report-building. One example of how I use this is: We have a request queue, in which most requests are converted to projects. While viewing a project repo...
