Re: Adjusting due dates in a project - Workfront 02-02-2018
Nick That is what I'm thinking too. When you tinker with the plan you lose the original schedule so you can't analyze after where it all went wrong. I would prefer if the plan was locked in stone and then the Projected Dates operated like the plan (ie you can adjust durations to make a tighter schedule once someone is late) and have new Due Dates on the notifications to direct the team when they must finish their task, and at the end be able to compare the Plan to the Actual.

Proof Reviewer Communication - Workfront 02-02-2018
Hi When someone is a Reviewer on a Proof, and not a Reviewer/Approver how do they indicate that they have finished the review? We can't find any notification button for them to acknowledge that they are done. We had an example where a Reviewer went to lunch before finishing and when she came back, the Proof was locked because the owner was moving on to the next stage. Have I missed something? Thanks!!

Re: Adjusting due dates in a project - Workfront 02-02-2018
Hi Thanks for all the feedback. You are all describing what I thought, but I have many people who have to manage deadlines for projects, but are Worker licenses. They can't change the Plan Dates. Sigh... Jill Ackerman

Re: ProofHQ Best Practices - Workfront 02-02-2018
I like this idea of creating a flag status that says "ignore this comment thread" but it sort of doesn't work in the scenario I'm trying to lay out whereby we have one button that the designer/author uses (the status flag where they can mark a comment as "done" or "need more info"), and a separate button for the Owner/Moderator (the resolution check mark). Is there a way to customize the Check Mark Resolution button? I can't find it, but that's the one I'd like to be able to add more options to....

Re: Adjusting due dates in a project - Workfront 01-02-2018
Oh no, not the answer I was hoping for! I hope to get more insight into how people work around this. Workfront has such positive feedback, this basic thing seems to me to be a huge barrier that I feel like it can't possibly be right. Jill Ackerman

Re: ProofHQ Best Practices - Workfront 01-02-2018
Hi Thanks for responding. We are trying to use the flags but they flag the entire comment thread, not the comment within the thread that contains the approved decision. If you have a discussion thread 10 comments long, how does the designer know which of the comments is the final decision without having to read through all the boring and perhaps confusing cross talk? Also I'm afraid to delete even irrelevant comments in case we need to refer back to them. thanks jill Jill Ackerman

Adjusting due dates in a project - Workfront 01-02-2018
we are new to Workfront and I'm hoping to get insight into how people manage due dates within projects. We work toward very hard completion dates that cannot shift, but the 30 tasks within a project are always early or late, which shifts all the projected due dates based on the durations from the plan, but then they are not aligned with our strict completion date, ie we wind up with tasks that have projected dates after our unmovable completion date. It seems that every time one task is late, we...

Re: Users and the proofs they are assigned to - Workfront 31-01-2018
I don't understand this answer. We don't have a choice what folder the proof is created in. If there are various proofs in different projects, will they always go to the same folder? How do you navigate to this folder? I'm rather new to Workfront and I haven't come across a folder structure yet. Thanks. Jill Ackerman Lindblad Expeditions

ProofHQ Best Practices - Workfront 31-01-2018
Hi We are new users and are struggling a bit with how to best use ProofHQ in the real world. We often have long brochures and catalogs with many people who are reviewers all over the world. The way we work is the designer uploads the proof but is not responsible for trafficking it around to all the people that have to approve it and make comments. The ProofHQ Workflows just don't work for us since the designer has no idea who needs to be reviewing it. Therefore, the Marketing Manager is designat...
