Adobe Workfront

I have a use case where I need to be able to filter on a report to pull in Monday through Sunday for the next week into the following week. For example, dates would be 4/6 - 4/19. This report is ideally ran on Friday’s but could be run on a Thursday if there was a holiday. I have set up a filter against my date field to show $$TODAY+3d between $$TODAYe+16d which does work if the report is only run on a Friday. Is this possible to hard code or would I need to have the end user default to using a prompt to ensure accuracy. Thank you!

It would be nice to have the functionality to tag all people on the proof in a comment by using “@everyone” so we don’t have to tag 8 different people each time.  Using tagging a team doesn’t work the way our division is structured.  Thanks!

A HUGE thank you to ​@MikeEngel  for sharing all his knowledge on the Unified Approvals transition! We realize there were a lot of unanswered questions from the chat so we are working on a consolidated Q&A that we’ll post here later, as well as discussing additional webinars to address these!  As discussed today, access to Unified Approvals will be based on your Workfront contract renewal date, but if you want to get access earlier, reach out to your account team to see if you can recontract early! Below are a summary, links to the slide deck, recording, and resources! Senior Product Manager Mike Engel shared updates on the new Unified Approvals experience, bringing enhanced review and collaboration tools for both video and non-video assets. Mike demo’d the new experience, including annotation and collaboration tools. He also discussed the transition, which will allow teams to adopt it in stages (using both legacy and new approvals, as needed) as well as potential future capabiliti

I am struggling with saving the data on a custom form when I use an external lookup field with a webhook. I have successfully connected a webhook to a lookup field that returns results that match the user’s input. However, it sometimes saves the option the user clicks on and sometimes wipes the field back out when the user clicks away. From my searching, it may be that the form has nothing to “grab onto”, as in an id.  I don’t know if that’s the cause of my issue or not, but I haven’t been successful creating a json path to return linked label/value pairs, only a single label or ‘all fields’. I also haven’t been able to pass the data somewhere else without it still being linked to the original field, so as soon as the original field goes blank, everything else does as well.  I was toying with having a WF webhook listen for when the fields populate, but in my initial test, it doesn’t seem to see a change while the form is still being edited. Can anyone offer me some insight into how I c

Hi! We are exploring exporting Workfront data through Snowflake and into PowerBI. It pains me what we have to do this. I would love there to be more functionality with Workfront reporting, especially to show trends over years. I find PowerBI not overly intuitive either. Will more reporting functionality exist within Workfront? How else are people creatively showing data? 

Hi All,I am trying to query / pull the “Project Sharing” settings of a project template via the Workfront API / in Fusion, but can’t figure out how to do this.The accessRules collection includes only the “Template Sharing” settings, but not the “Project Sharing” settings.Does anyone have an idea on how to do it? Or this not supported currently by the (versioned) API?Thank you,Tibor

Does anyone know of a good method to audit all custom Statuses?  We have a large amount of groups that each use different status lists.  Is there any way to export this data so it can be reviewed and updated?

Looking for the syntax to have and event subscription that triggers when a custom filed on a custom form or a project is changed.  I’ve tired nested, colon and dot notations, and the subscription get created but the field does not trigger it. 

I would find a great deal of value in a webinar/Q&A session with Adobe Product Managers tailored to understanding the pivot from the standard Proofing experience to the Unified Approvals experience. Seems to be a wide range of considerations and no hard deadlines on some required changes, but documentation seems “thin” and some of these changes need measurable documentation and process re-training in my organization. There is even documentation on how to use Unified Approvals and Proofing together https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/review-and-approve-work/document-reviews-and-approvals/manage-asset-review-and-approval/doc-approvals-and-proofing but not much that speaks to when existing Proofing functionality would be phased out completely. Can this type of information event be prioritized by the Workfront team? 

Hello,  Is there a way to sort my proof approvals in my homepage from newest to oldest? Right now, when I login, the default is it shows the oldest ones first. Thank you! 

Hi there,I’ve been a WF admin and in the tool for 8+ years. I’m no longer an admin, but am using it as a project manager (specifically for creative projects - think outside agencies, waterfall project setup, etc.). I’m finding the UI to be harder and harder to build easy-to-use at-a-glance views on project status (think like Smartsheets or Monday.com level of simplicity and UI). Has anyone built project reports that act as a dashboard that are user friendly, visually intuitive (color coded, etc.), or at least super effective at showing you where a group of projects is at (could be active task, status, etc.), who it’s with, maybe last update, etc.? The “Priorities” feature is definitely moving in the right direction, but it’s not customizable enough in terms of what columns I can include. Thanks in advance!Kate

The Approvals Widget has switched order so the oldest are on page one.We would prefer it go back to the way it was -- newest to oldest.I am an admin and haven't made any purposeful revisions to any setup or layout for this to occur and cannot find a place to change it.Any ideas?

When using the out-of-the box Workfront Proof integration with Adobe Express, you can select a Proof Workflow to use as the Express template for approval.   Express displays the pre-set stages and approvals set in the Proof workflow. However, you must select a Workfront project for the proof to be assigned to.  Can you have a project be predetermined / setup to be selected by default? i.e. have all approvals for a workflow default to “Project A” rather than having the user type and select the project each time. Background / extra context: Marketers are using Express to create creative content. Today they route content created in Express, through express for brand approval. The brand team wants to also be to track these approval requests through Workfront / proof for analytics and tracking. The workflow / proofing integration works! But often these requests are not connected directly to an active Workfront project, so the user would be confused to which project to type/select. Ideally,

Hi team, We are currently working in creating task-based report. Exactly we need the filter if project tasks all don’t have assignments .Example : The project (test) has 4 task, one has assignments in task if assignment is assigned it should not show in report. I need report that only show project where there all task has zero assignments. I need filter to archive this.

As above .. workfront has taken 20 mins to create a proof and still hasn’t done it. How do you cancel the job and start again?
