Hi, Malcolm. Unfortunately, I think Workfront only allows you to build collections for the object on which the report is based. I.e., if it's a task report, you can build only task-based collections. If it's a project report, you can build only project-based collections. If anyone has had success bu...

We are a translation services provider, so we our primary use for Workfront is the daily management of translation requests from our customers. We use in-house-built integrations to load word counts into projects and to create POs for our individual translation vendors. Each linguistic step (transla...

We grappled with this to some extent when we migrated to Workfront, as well. There was pushback from some stakeholders because our old project numbering scheme carried additional information about the project, rather than simply acting as a unique identifier. Before the transition, we spec'd out whi...

Hi, all. My suspicion is that Workfront doesn't look at the Project Start Date at all when determining the project condition. Rather, it looks at the task durations, % complete, planned completion dates, predecessors, etc., and calculates the project condition--regardless of whether the Start Date i...

FYI, we have been experiencing your issues #2 and #3 as well. (We don't convert issues to projects, so we wouldn't see this.) I logged a ticket a week ago, and we had a screen share with one of the level 2 technicians. According to the assigned HelpDesk contact, this has been escalated to Developmen...

Hi, Steve. Calculated fields can only access fields that are on the same object that your custom form is on. So in your case, you can access only Issue-based fields for calculation. A list of your existing Programs is not likely to be available, in any case, unless you maintain that in a custom fiel...

Users with the Review license DO have rights to edit Issues, so I don't think it's licensing problem. It's likely that she can't edit the Issue you've passed to her because the status is "Pending Approval". When an Issue is "Pending Approval" you can't do anything but "Accept" or "Reject" it. A bett...

Great discussion thread! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one pulling my hair out over report organization. I support about 95% of our company's reporting requests, so I have amassed several hundred reports over the years, many of which were created on an ad hoc basis and are highly duplicative. I'v...

Hi, Skye. Yes, if you have Workfront auto-sending you a report, it will come to you even if it contains no data. I actually consider this a good thing: many of my auto-generated reports are are of the auditing variety, and if they contain results that means I have to go in and fix something. If the ...

While Kelly's approach SHOULD work in theory, in reality it doesn't. I remember speaking to the "experts" at LEAP several years ago, and they told me the only way to report on the contents of Update Feeds is through the API (i.e., via a custom app). So that's what we've done in our company--in our c...
