Re: Copy/Paste a draft list of tasks from Excel and/or Word into a Project - Workfront 16-09-2017
Up-voted! This is a subset of a general question that has been asked many, many times over the years, and can probably be found in several versions around the Idea Exchange: when is the Workfront task list UI finally going to support standard Ctrl-ZXCV? We can't even cut-and-paste tasks from one Workfront project to another, let alone from another app. IMHO this simple yet oh-so-frustrating lack leads to a trickle-down roadblock to adoption. ~Jeff

Re: Projects Filter Item Missing in Search and Can no Longer Filter by "Current" or "Complete" Status - Workfront 30-08-2017
My instance returns projects when I select ALL, and if I then select projects I can filter by status if the search returns projects with different statuses. Go figure. Advanced Search is also good for my instance. Anyhow, I seldom search that way anymore. Instead, I added the URL below as a new search engine called "WF" in Manage Search Engines in Chrome Settings. https://yourdomain.my.workfront.com/search?objCode=PROJ&allowRedirect=false&query=%s&showResultsPage=false Now if I want to find a pr...

Button to create a team from the project People list - Workfront 14-08-2017
It's great that you can select all of the People on a project and click Update to send them all a note, but that doesn't help at the task or issue level. I propose a button to create a team from the People list. Better still might be to automatically create a team for every project and then update it in real time as project members come and go.

Re: Task Status eq Dead - Workfront 10-08-2017
You can create a task status called Dead, but you can't equate it to Dead. We have task statuses called Deferred and Not Required that equate to Complete. They can still drive the plan, while giving some indication that they weren't actually performed. Strange but true: if you set someone's rights to a specific task to Contribute, and then uncheck all of the boxes under Advanced, you can deny them the ability to log hours or change the task status, although they can still post updates and change...

Re: Undo Button for All Project Functions - Workfront 17-07-2017
The project plan interface should include CTRL-Z,X,C,V. These functions are the basic entry level for any application, including web-based. The current interface is so bad, and so open to catastrophic mistakes, that my staff seldom update the task list after the first baseline. I use MS Project to create tasks lists for new templates and then import them for the same reason: in Workfront, hours of work can be wiped out by the slip of a finger during a drag-and-drop.

Re: Show All TASK Rows as a default - Workfront 17-07-2017
Yes please! Every single time I open a project, I have to scroll to the end all click ALL. Every single time.This "short list" behavior actually extends the time that it takes to open a project or a report, because after the first load, you have to scroll down, click All, and then load a second time. Finally, if you forget, or are not aware, that this is the default behavior, you can easily waste time trying to figure out why your list is incomplete, or worse, make a bad decision because you don...

Re: Need advice on choosing a financial package to integrate with Workfront! - Workfront 30-08-2016
Well it's not all that integrated, but we do use Workfront reports to drive Project Systems in SAP. Our SAP Project Systems is integraded with SD and FICO to drive milestone-based billing and revenue recognition. We simply upload a tab-delimited Workfront report of daily project milestone status to an ftp site from which it's collected and processed into an iDoc. At one time we were also passing project hours to SAP the same way. Initially we were automatically emailing the reports to the drop-b...

Re: Project Timeline View - Feature Request - Workfront 08-07-2016
A timeline would be great, especially if the PDF title could be edited to say something bedsides "Exported Timeline." ~Jeff

Re: Web UI instability and performance issues - Workfront 10-06-2016
We too are experiencing each of the issues descibed by David Cornwell on a daily basis. Perhaps it's time to consider reverting the recent changes to time line recalculation? ~Jeff
