Adobe Workfront Mobile App

Description:
We would like Adobe Workfront to expand mobile app capabilities beyond basic task management. A key missing feature is the ability to access reports and dashboards through the mobile app, particularly when those links are included in Workfront system notifications.

 

Why is this feature important to you:
We use dashboards that consolidate custom form data into reports, which are embedded within each project and shared via system generated email notifications. These reports provide critical project updates to our users. Currently, when users receive these links on mobile, they cannot open them within the Workfront app. Instead, the links open in a web browser, where formatting issues make the content nearly unreadable. This limits usability and makes it difficult for stakeholders to stay informed on the go.

 

How would you like the feature to work:
When a Workfront-generated notification includes a report or dashboard link, tapping the link on a mobile device should open the relevant report directly within the Workfront mobile app or mobile browser, preserving proper formatting, readability, and alignment. Ideally, the mobile app would support viewing and interacting with standard reports and dashboards, including filters, drill-downs, and custom form data visualization.

 

Current Behaviour:
Currently, links to reports and dashboards are rendered as plain text in the project updates within the app, and when tapped, they open in the mobile browser. In the browser, the layout is distorted and difficult to read, with alignment and formatting issues that degrade the user experience. There is no current support in the Workfront mobile app for accessing reports directly.

This week I literally ran into some of the pain points @Farzaneh describes, so I tried to access Workfront through my phone's browser. While I was pleased to see Workfront is mostly mobile responsive, the new Adobe Unified Experience bar takes up so much space that it's impossible to scroll in most places. So the app is the only way to access Workfront on your phone, meaning whole areas of Workfront are entirely inaccessible on a phone.

EXACTLY!!!   We have the same issue.   But I also found out that there are two apps for iOS.    The app with the white background and Workfront logo with a WO in the lower right corner, it behaves much like using your browser.

 

If you use the Adobe Workfront App with a black background and the reddish looking lion head - you will have the iOS GUI.  Limited in what you can do, but it works better on your phone (not sure if the same applies to Samsung).
