Building a List with Hyperlinks in the Dashboard - Workfront

I would like to share with the community my discovery after experimenting with multiple solutions. In my opinion, this is the simplest one and I hope it will help others.

 

If you are willing to add in you Dashboard a report that display a listing of hyperlinks directing to internal links such as Calendars. You are at the right place!

 

Step 1:

First you need to create a Project, in your project create a task and add the calendar link in the URL field of your task

(e.g.

Project > Task 1; URL=https//ZZZZ.my.workfront.com/calendars/ID

            > Task 2; URL=https//ZZZZ.my.workfront.com/calendars/ID2)

 

Step 2:

Go to Reports and create a Task report. In the columns (view), delete all the columns except for the "Task Name" column.

Select the "task name" column, then click on "Switch to Text mode" and copy paste the code below. Remember to change the "displayname" to what you want your column title to be:

descriptionkey=name
displayname=Content Calendar
isInlineEditable=false
link.linkproperty.0.name=ID
link.linkproperty.0.valuefield=ID
link.linkproperty.0.valueformat=int
link.lookup=link.view
link.url=URL
link.valuefield=objCode
link.valueformat=val
linkedname=direct
listsort=string(name)
namekey=task.name.abbr
querysort=name
section=0
shortview=false
stretch=100
styledef.case.0.comparison.icon=false
styledef.case.0.comparison.leftmethod=ID
styledef.case.0.comparison.lefttext=ID
styledef.case.0.comparison.operator=in
styledef.case.0.comparison.operatortype=string
styledef.case.0.comparison.righttext=6717ed26000f8ddfbe75567f060fca6b 6717ed3f000f8e89640bc5469f806e19
styledef.case.0.comparison.truetext=
textmode=true
valuefield=name
valueformat=HTML
width=250

 

Step 3:

Go to Dashboard, then add the report you just created and voilà!

 

Let me know if you have questions. I'll be happy to enlighten or give more inputs!
