Hello WF Global Family, I had taken the information from my previous question back to a coworker and they hit me with this question, it's pretty deep, because it also had me questioning how does workfront report on late tasks. Here's what they mentioned: "Do you know whether Workfront looks at the last task as the way to determine whether a project is late, or does it look at the date/time that the project stats was actually set to "complete".
In other words, if you complete all the tasks, the project status can still be "in progress". If that is the case, doesn't workfront still consider that project late, even though all the tasks were completed on time?
Maybe a better question is -- in our report about projects that are late, is it just counting projects with a status of "in trouble" compared to project "on track"?
I see that if I change the date of the last task to beyond the planned due date, it sets the status to "in trouble", and if I change that final task's actual completion to a date BEFORE the due date, it changes it to "on track". If the report is just measuring on track vs in trouble, then we're probably good!" This got me thinking about reporting and I know we can create out own filters/groupings but now I'm questioning what is more ACCURATE when reporting late projects/tasks. Going off the actual dates, planned date, status of report? Just confused overall, if someone could help!
