Micheal L gave me an interesting challenge today: he wanted to use Workfront as a public document repository for hundreds of documents to which other folks outside of Workfront needed access. He'd found the Sharing > Make Public option under each document, but since there is no bulk update, dreaded ...

Some of our Workfront clients run 24x7 operations and raise thousands of Projects each year. At that pace, even with sensible naming conventions, it is sometimes tricky to know whether a Project has already been created -- let alone find time to go check first. That can lead to duplicates, which the...

Thanks Ondina, and hi again Benetta. By coincidence, as the two of you were posting here, I was experimenting on the same topic, trying to find a way to limit the results to a single hyperlink, but unfortunately, with no luck. The technique you're both using leverages a special "tile" component th...

It's been some time since someone surprised me with a clever text mode trick, but when my colleague shared "http://www.screencast.com/t/gfJUZuIfd">this video with our clients yesterday, I was quite impressed, so I decided to share it here. Using textmode, he added a "Click To Edit" column to some ...

Add a calendar that DOES work weekends and holidays, attach it to a user called "Off Hours", and make Off Hours the primary assignee (at zero percent) on any task that needs to fall off business hours, intentionally. Regards, Doug

Thanks for asking, Michelle. That screenshot is part of our "http://store.atappstore.com/products/all/">Magic Reporting offering, which is one of the nearly 50 we list on our "http://store.atappstore.com/products/all/">AtAppStore Catalog , with each solving some challenge we've solved and then subse...

Thanks Narayan, How would you want to group and sort those Assignments (e.g. Portfolio vs Project Owner vs Week), and what would be an effective way of highlighting the "age" of an approval that is stuck (e.g. Redder, Bolder, Bigger, etc.)? Regards, Doug

Given that the Approval Step data is not reportable natively within Workfront, I'm mulling over an "Approvals Naughty List" using our "http://store.atappstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/MagicReports.png">Magic Report technology to highlight things like: Who's got the signoff ball? How long...

Thanks everyone. Just a personal check in on this one. I've been using this Nag Mode for a couple of weeks now, and am pleased (kinda?) to confirm that it is REALLY effective: the little bit of extra height I added on the Notificatation box catches my eye every time I come in, and annoys me just eno...

If you're reading this, there's a good chance it's because of my messy, unusual title, and that it unconsciously drew you in to this first sentence. You noticed, without noticing: as I'd intended. For better or worse, we are all getting pretty adept at picking up on such irregularities on computer...
