Re: Here to Help: New Researcher at Workfront
-WE
- Workfront 01-02-2018
Hi Stephanie, You can do this for your users today in Workfront by updating their layout template. It takes a few steps on part of the admin, but it's better than waiting for development activity to occur. First, create a request report for them that basically replicates "Requests I've Submitted." You can add columns to communicate details around resolving objects here. Create a new dashboard, and add the request report you just made to the new dashboard. Add the dashboard to their Requests land...

Hi Trae, welcome to the Community and I'm sure many of the members are happy to see you opening a dialogue to solicit input. I wasn't going to start compiling my wishlist on this thread, but since the topic of Requests were brought up, I'll throw in my two cents: Cent #1: The ability to place custom form fields above the system fields like Subject and Add Documents. We use descriptive text fields to instruct users how to complete the request, and it's unfortunate that we have to tell them to "go...

Re: PDP and review processes
-WE
- Workfront 16-01-2018
I love this idea. Since most organizations track this annually, it makes sense to create a project for each user that sets up milestones on a quarterly basis and actually adds the specific development activity to a user's workload. Too often at review time a PDP is made, only to be forgotten until the review cycle is over, at which point both the user and their leader are reminded that they put together a great plan that neither followed up on. This introduces more accountability on both sides. ...

Re: User Initials as User Avatar

>>Out of curiosity, did you use any particular conventions when choosing background colors? There are all kinds of possibilities, depending on your organization. Assigning color by job role, seniority, team, etc. but I didn't feel it was necessary or added value in our environment. So, I settled to simply make sure there was an equal distribution of colors and that no two users with the same initials shared the same color. To do that, I used Excel: - exported the active user list to .xlsx - used...

User Initials as User Avatar
-WE
- Workfront 10-01-2018
I uploaded this file to the Global Discussion group earlier using the "Share a File" feature, but don't see anywhere in the Community where it actually posted. So, I'll just add a topic. A popular feature request in the Idea Exchange is to display user's initials as their avatar if they have not uploaded a photo. The idea is under consideration, but I didn't want to wait. Attached is my collection of 6,084 avatars featuring all combinations of initials from AA to ZZ on nine different colored bac...

Add a new column to your task report, any column will do, then using text mode, replace the text with the below code: aggregator.function=AVG aggregator.valueexpression=WEEKDAYDIFF({entryDate},{actualCompletionDate}) aggregator.valueformat=val displayname=Work Days to Complete textmode=true valueexpression=WEEKDAYDIFF({entryDate},{actualCompletionDate}) valueformat= The average will be calculated by grouping and appear in the grouping row; so if you group by user, it will show you each user's av...

Re: Calendar Integration
-WE
- Workfront 21-12-2017
We are on Office365, but I agree that any functionality for Office365 should be duplicated for Google Apps. Workfront themselves appear to use Google Apps, so I'm sure they have that in mind as they develop new integrations. By the way, had a great call with Hayk early this morning and although they are in very early stages of development (still limited to information gathering), I am excited for the possibilities this integration holds.

Re: Workfront/Slack Integration?
-WE
- Workfront Archived Groups 20-12-2017
Hi Susan, It should already be integrated with all of our instances. We worked with Scott Kelly to approve the WF app for Disney's slack instance, and no action is necessary from within the Workfront instance to enable it. You can try it now by typing /wf work in any slack channel. (the response is only visible to you, no matter what channel you enter the command) I'm glad Workfront is evolving the product and adding new integrations, but I have mixed feelings about this one - it doesn't improve...

Re: Calendar Integration

I scheduled a call because this feature request is near and dear to my heart, but I expect a lot of customers will pass because of the difference in time zones. I know there is interest out there in linking WF ojbects out to an Exchange calendar, but I am looking forward to discussing a calendar integration that would potentially allow us to "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115007439033-Send-Office365-calendar-event-to-a-WF-task-with-description-assignments-and-duration-" ...
