Re: Reporting on Budgeted Hours - Workfront 29-03-2019
I've been toying with the Resource Planner myself too. The objective being the production of a resource management dashboard showing budgeted hours vs planned hours side-by-side a report for planned hours vs actual hours with each of those reports being grouped by program and by person. Unfortunately, the Budgeted Hour business object is not available in reporting. As far as I can tell, the only thing close is the "Resource Planner Budgeted Labor Cost" which calculates the hours planned and $$/h...

Re: Did you tasks view inside Projects change with latest update? - Workfront 05-03-2019
Same experience. In preview, I didn't find this change impactful. A touch annoying, skipping in and out of full screen mode (so to speak), sure. In production, where my users have different screen sizes / resolutions it is very frustrating. I've encouraged them all to use the feedback button to share their experience (and hopefully their browser / workstation setup). Rick MacDuffie Symetra Life Insurance Company

Re: Template report showing project shared with? - Workfront 25-02-2019
I don't think you missed anything, grabbing the project's 'shared with' value isn't straightforward from a template report. A template doesn't have a collection of projects that you could reference and iterate through. BUT, you could come at this from a project report perspective and reference the template used for any of the template specific info you need to include in your report. This would allow you to grab the project's 'shared with' value directly and, using references/collections, grab t...

Re: Template report showing project shared with? - Workfront 25-02-2019
I'm doing something similar at Symetra for reports and templates. Getting the value of the template's 'shared with' OR the project's 'shared with' column is straightforward, so I imagined you were wanting something a little more to the point of who actually gets access via means other than the 'shared with' field. Obviously neither approach will identify the people that are in teams that a template is shared with, nor will it help you to know whether they ought to have access at all. Best of luc...

Re: Template report showing project shared with? - Workfront 22-02-2019
Not ideal, but its something. Assuming you're project template is set up to Give contribute access to the task and view access to the project when someone is 'Assigned' to a task, this might provide you the info you'd need. Team, Person and Role for template tasks. displayname=Assignees listdelimiter= listmethod=nested(templateTasks).lists textmode=true type=iterate valueexpression=CONCAT(IF(ISBLANK({teamID}),"",{team}.{name})," - ",IF(ISBLANK({assignedToID}),"",{assignedTo}.{name})," - ", IF(IS...

Re: Queue Topic Reporting - Workfront 20-02-2019
You could filter on "Is Public". If "Is Public" equals 'None', the queue hasn't been published. Note: You may also want to filter on the project status, as there could be 'published' queues in a status that would hide them from users (eg. anything other than Current)

Re: Queue Topic Reporting - Workfront 19-02-2019
Brilliant report! Just brilliant. Demonstrates a bunch of different textmode techniques that I want to get familiar with / add to my tool belt. I'm focusing on taking our request fulfillment function to the next evolutionary step and this will definitely come in handy. Thanks for sharing! You win the Internet today.

Re: Dependencies / Predecessors - Workfront 07-02-2019
This confused me at first too. If you're like me, you might be used to working in Microsoft Project. MS Project's planned dates DO auto-update, and baseline dates DO NOT. Workfront dates don't map to Microsoft Project dates. It seems that Planned dates in Workfront are essentially the Baseline dates in MS Project and they do not change unless there is manual intervention. Projected dates in Workfront do change and operate more like Planned dates in MS Project. Rick MacDuffie Symetra Life Insuran...

Re: Recommendations on representing division/department structure within an organization - Workfront 07-02-2019
We also leverage Portfolios & Programs for this. The only advice I would offer is that you do not overload your portfolio names. The structure I inherited represents several company divisions, a few divisions have a specific portfolio entry for the calendar year with each of those buckets potentially having a duplicated list of programs (which loosely translates to product in our case) underneath them. I wouldn't recommend using annually updated portfolios. Our hierarchy then looks something lik...

Re: Can I custom the Scrum Story Board - Workfront 06-02-2019
I don't know if there is a limit to how many columns you could have on the scrum board, but you can definitely customize it. If those 7 status are locked across all WF groups you should be able to have them shown on the board. It seems that there is a little bit of a constraint. I was only able to add custom statuses if I had a custom, locked TASK status. Having multiple custom locked status for issues, wouldn't let me add them until I created an arbitrary task status to pair it with. Odd, but I...
