The Workfront Teams current feature - on the ‘Teams Settings’ > in the ‘Team Members’ list is unable to identify which Team Members are inactive/deactivated.

The Search/Typeahead engine will only performing the below functions.

1. Add new members into the Team Member List – Search/Typeahead will display active user and indicate with black font Job Role.  Click the name and add into the team member list.

2. Existing members in the Team Member List – Search/Typeahead will display active user and indicate with blue font Job Role.  Click the name will remove user from the team member list.

3. Inactive user in the Team Member List – Search/Typeahead will not display the user.

4. Users not available in the Workfront platform – Search/Typeahead will not display the user.

 

How would you like the feature to work.

It is much beneficial if the typeahead engine made available to search for inactive (deactivated) users in ‘Teams Settings – Team Members’ field especially for a Team which consists of more than 100 members.  This allows team owner to remove the inactive members and manage the team efficiently such as point no. 2.

When a User account is deactivated, it does not remove them from Team membership and they will still display in the Team Settings window. One of the ways I make that maintenance easier is to append (DA) to the Last Name field when I deactivate a user. Then it's very easy to pick out those accounts anywhere in WF for clean-up, including the Team Settings window.

 

This text mode in a Team report will also show you inactive users by team (or people who haven't logged in for more than 180 days, and probably should be deactivated.)

 

displayname=Inactive Members (>180 days Logins)
listdelimiter=<br>
listmethod=nested(users).lists
shortview=true
textmode=true
type=iterate
valueexpression=IF({isActive}="false",CONCAT({name}," - DA"),(IF(NUMBER(DATEDIFF({lastLoginDate},$$TODAY))<-180,CONCAT({name}," - ",{lastLoginDate}),"")))
