Best way to report on deactivation date?

Hi Catherine,

Practically (and perhaps even technically), I would use the Last Update Date as a proxy, assuming the last action taken on any given deactivated user was "to deactivate them".

Hi Peter,

Sounds like you have the right field (User > Last Update Date), but perhaps the act of Deactivating might not have triggered the Last Update Date for at least some cases. One explanation could be that when a new user is created, it's technically not fully active until the first time its used to log in to Workfront (i.e. with the "Welcome! Change your password..." dialog). Perhaps the Last Update doesn't trigger on those users who never took that step. If you're curious, you could likely do a few tests with New User 1, New User 2, etc. and perhaps spot the pattern.

Hi Peter,

Ehm...you had me wondering, so I ran some tests, and confirmed that the User > Last Update Date (as I expected, and as per other Objects) records the last time the User itself was updated, such as updating their Title or (circularly) adding an update to themselves (which might be what you're seeing). Conversely, when that same user makes an update "elsewhere" (e.g. under a Document, which was how I tested it), the User > Last Update Date is unchanged.
