Re: Simple Question, Tough Answer: The Case of the Elusive Reporting Category Type - Workfront 18-08-2021
Hi Doug, This is a fun road to walk down on Wednesday. Let's walk through this scenario: For any given custom form, have a field (calculated or otherwise) with a unique prime number. In your case, you would have the first 55 prime numbers (2-257) attached to each form For the summary form, have a calculation that checks if that number is non-zero and if so, provides it to a product calculation of all 55 prime variables. Lets call this calculation PrimeProduct. Based off the calculation PrimeProd...

Re: Simple Question, Tough Answer: The Case of the Elusive Reporting Category Type - Workfront 10-08-2021
Hi Doug, So we have worked through something similar, although not quite the same. But I am happy to type through it here to see if this solution may help. Depending on how many forms we are looking at/for (and of course some normalization can occur if there are similar yet different requirements between forms), we have executed the following: When a single object can be one of many things, share the same calculated field across the different custom forms and use a different calculation to deter...

Accessing Predecessors and/or successors through Fusion - Workfront Fusion 2.0 04-06-2021
Hello, We are facing a challenge around the complexity of work and as we were working through this problem, I thought that asking the phenomenal brain power in this group could also shed some light or thoughts on this problem. It is also a good Friday-style thinking problem (maybe that is just me). The problem statement is seemingly simple on the surface: Generate a list of tasks with cross-project predecessors and determine the impact of changes when one or more tasks change across projects. No...

Re: Trying to find a way to connect Baselines and Issues through the name - Workfront Fusion 2.0 15-01-2021
Doug, Thank you for kicking me out of the box and having Workfront give me the data versus parsing it on the Fusion side. This solution worked great.

Trying to find a way to connect Baselines and Issues through the name - Workfront Fusion 2.0 14-01-2021
All, I am currently writing a quick workflow to create a baseline for a project through an approval workflow. This helps me work around the migration of the default baseline from the "auto creation" that Workfront natively provides. While I was in this workflow, I was trying to solve another problem that we have. We are trying to tie the issues that caused the baseline to be associated to a baseline. My thought is to iterate through the baselines and find the most recent baseline entry date. I t...

Re: Pop Quiz: Cross Project Predecessor Toughie - Workfront 07-12-2020
So, I took a look at this in a simulation and I would like to share some further insights. At the portfolio level, the projected start date of the project (not the tasks) is based off the planned start date of the project. If the planned date is in the past, the projected date moves forward, as you would want. But if you are scheduling the projects from a start date, the anchor point for the project start date is that anchor. To see this in greater detail, create three projects to start on the s...

Re: Pop Quiz: Cross Project Predecessor Toughie - Workfront 04-12-2020
Doug, This is a great Friday-style problem. First let me confirm that I understand what your concern was and how you solved it. We use cross-project predecessors a lot and it gets dark quickly. You have three projects that have tasks with cross project predecessors. Some of the tasks were supposed to complete in the past. Your challenge is that the projection does not reflect what you expect on those tasks. If I got that right, I am inferring from your solution that you had to tell Workfront inf...

Re: Reporting on Subordinate Hours - Workfront 01-10-2020
Hi Kevin, We worked around this with a custom form. Create a User custom form (or leverage your existing one) and create a calculated custom field from the following logic (borrowed from a post in the old community days):CONCAT(IF(!ISBLANK(Manager),Manager),IF(!ISBLANK(Manager.Manager), ", "+ Manager.Manager),IF(!ISBLANK(Manager.Manager.Manager), ", "+ Manager.Manager.Manager),IF(!ISBLANK(Manager.Manager.Manager.Manager), ", "+ Manager.Manager.Manager.Manager),IF(!ISBLANK(Manager.Manager.Manager...

Re: Report on Projects due <= $$NOW + 120D - Workfront 15-05-2020
Hi Jill, So I am going to walk through your filter to make sure I understand it. You are looking for a project that is not in the portfolio with ID=59.....Projects that have a status that equates with current or planning (not pending approval)Projects that have a queue that is not publicProjects that have a planned completion date that is less than 120D from now. A couple of questions: for planned completion date, have you tried the $$TODAY wildcard? I have seen cases where $$NOW does not seem t...

Re: i need to make a project where i list each individual user in my instance as a seperate task (for auditing purposes). i think it should be easy enough but can't figure out how to turn this user list into a list of tasks in a project. - Workfront 13-05-2020
Hi Michelle, It sounds like a kickstart may do what you are looking for. Here is a quick link for what I think you are trying to do. https://one.workfront.com/s/article/Kick-Starts-Scenario-Simple-Project-and-Task-Import-Preparation-2003831441
