hey sysadmins and other authorized WF contacts, I wanted to say thanks to those of you who reported "Error generating proof" messages to the helpdesk yesterday. By the time I reported my issue, my helpdesk tech was already familiar with the issue and we were able to jump past the opening formalities...

I was afraid of that. Thanks Ondina. Not really worth it to give the manager a proof license just so she can see reports, so we'll just talk about how often she might need to see them and go from there. I know they were talking about consolidating some proof reports in Workfront but I'm sketchy on t...

Thanks Ondina. I pulled a view, and it's somewhat helpful (although as you mentioned, it only includes comments on the latest version which is a bit of a bummer for us too). I noticed that you can share views with people--have you tried this? Do the people you share with have to have a proofing lice...

PS: I managed to make a start by generating a note text report looking for notes containing Proof Comment in the past 14 days, but honestly, I would rather look for something a little more proof related. -skye

hi reporting gurus, I was asked if there was any way to run a report to see how many proof comments were being made per piece. I'm not aware of any but I wanted to check in here before I gave them a red light. We're not currently using advanced proofing options so I'm not as familiar with that side ...

Has anyone noticed that their proofing license users are getting a lot of "Failed to generate proof" messages in the past week or 2? -skye

By the way, setting an approval on a New status looks like a horrible thing. One of our workflows (templates) has that, so that the task doesn't roll to the assigned worker until the PM is ready for it to do so. So from what I've heard, the PM has to approve the task status, then edit the planned co...

@Barbara Sedlack -- you're welcome! Your and my work teams are quite different it seems. Our designers cannot be expected to know who needs to approve every piece, nor can they be expected to know which markups are relevant and which can be ignored. That is where our PM's role comes in. The requests...

@Barbara Sedlack -- yes, that's somewhat correct -- the way we work right now our Designers end up being the "proof owners." Here is how it works for us. (we are a marketing/creative services department in a financial company, so we have a lot of checks and balances) Each piece we create is a separa...

As we are in full sprint to make proofing inside of Workfront behave like Review & Approve (ProofHQ), we are aware a good portion of you are still not using proofing inside workfront until it works more like Review & Approve (ProofHQ). So I want to ask what specific missing functionality are holding...
