Report parameters via URL

If you're using the regular Workfront user interface, you can setup prompts for users to filter the report at run-time.

It would be extremely useful if you could also allow reports to be filtered by including api-style parameters in the report URL. The report would still display as a regular report within the Workfront UI but the user would not need to select the prompts.

This would open up a lot of possiblities when linking to Workfront reports from other systems (e.g. filter down by customer ID etc).

Taking it a step further it would be really nice if you could specify the fields and groupings to be used. Basically giving you the same flexibility of an API query but with the output rendered as a report within the Workfront UI.

Users would of course need to be logged into Workfront for this to work...that's fine.

This would be amazing! We have a use case for this regarding a feature we really wanted but came to the conclusion that it was not possible in the current system.


We want to have a tab on our projects that show's us all of the other projects that are linked to the same invoice. With url parameters, we could easily just embed an external page with the invoice number field being passed as a url parameter.
