Braindates open to everyone on August 17!

If you'd like to meet up with other Workfront people and chat, be sure to register for Experience Makers Live. The Braindate marketplace opens up on August 17 to everyone! If you're a Braindate ambassador you have access now to sign in and create topics for people to participate in.

I know we have seen Braindates about these types of topics in the past, so here's some food for thought:

  • Text mode reporting hacks
  • Getting more out of Workfront Proof reporting
  • Sharing keys to adoption of Workfront in your instance
  • Finding the best way to manage notifications (and keep your inbox manageable)

Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with to meet about!

    If I was to host a braindate what would you want to chat about?

    Topic Groups, Queue Topics and Routing Rules. I know how to set them up but I'd love to find out how others are keeping them organized since every time a template is used or a project get copied it makes duplicates of them. I am struggling with reporting (knowing which one is linked to the object I am reporting on, since they all have the exact same name) and also updating them. (When we update them on a template all of the existing projects are not updated.) The only way I know how to update them is to open the project and attach the template again. (this too makes duplicates dropdowns when entering an issue) There must be a better way than we are currently doing.

    That's an interesting use case. I think it might be worthwhile if you set up a "help me solve" braindate where you can screen share and walk us through what you're doing now, and the rest of us chime in and make suggestions.

    @Michael Perez‚ - Not sure if this would solve your problem, but I created a separate "request queue" template that I would simply attach to a project once it was opened. So you would create your request queue template, without any tasks, folders, etc... just the queue, routing rules and forms. Here's an example:

    PM opens a project using "Collateral Template" that has all of the tasks, folders, etc built in for the Project.

    PM adds the appropriate queue template - at the agency that I used to work for, we had one called "Copyediting" and one called "Studio" so that requests would generate out of the project itself and get routed to those teams.

    If you need to make updates to the queue, then you can simply update those templates and it is much easier to attach to an existing project when needed. It's pretty easy to delete out any duplicated if needed. And if you are doing reporting, you can simply make a calculated field that brings in the project reference number/name with the request queue, to maybe make a custom queue name that would help you sort through all of them?
