This has been a traditional challenge with a lot of project management platforms through the ages. Workfront's central mantra is that it empowers the users to update their % Completes on Tasks as they work on them. However, if you have a scenario where you only what to show the earlier mentioned "li...

Having said all that, you could always create a Custom Field with a Date data type on a Custom Form and attach it to a Task and use it how you want. It won't auto fill the field and then you could adjust Views and Reports to use that date, however, it would likely not interact correctly with a lot o...

I believe all date related fields on a Task auto-generate at Task Creation. When you create the task, it will set the Planned Start Date to one of three values: the date you choose from the picker/manually type, the Start Date fo the project, or a date based on a Predecessor that is entered while cr...

If it has changed then it changed without our knowledge. Here was Workfront's response: "Since the roll-out last night, we are seeing a problem where the "from" address for emails coming from Workfront are not showing the "no-reply" address as they should. This is most likely causing the email s...

Well, we are currently experiencing a problem where Workfront has made a change and broken that all e-mails have a reply to address of "noreply@attask.com." As a result, since the e-mails look like they are coming from the assigner of the task, issue, whatever, our SPAM filter rejects them. There is...

Chris, I think Resource Management is a very broad topic with a lot of implications and views based on your role in the organization. And given how broad it is, I think Workfront does a very good job overall of doing Resource Management. I would go as far as to say that it is the best that I have se...

Essentially what Eric said, but we also have certain reports that look for Tasks without Resources assigned, Planned Hours entered, etc. We jokingly call it the PM Naughty Report. Since, by definition, a Milestone doesn't have time or assignees, these would show up on the report and create "noise." ...

Eric, your 2A, B, and C are absolute musts on any list, in my opinion. Words to live by for a lot of the PMs, I know. I think the one that I would add to the list would be: "If you don't like the way Workfront shows you the information, create a new View that shows it the way you need it" My b...

Hadn't refreshed the thread while I was running numbers, so just saw the explanation. Good to know. This raises another question...why don't these recalculate on a regular basis? Some of the projects with large differences are several years old.

See, I usually don't get sucked in by mysteries like this but I created a report to compare them and a vast majority of our projects have a 2 to -2 hour difference, easily accounted for by rounding. But, there was an 8, an 11, a 20, and even some in the 50s. Oddly, except for the 8 and 11, the proje...
