Can We Cap Monthly Hours for Business-Line Teams in Workfront to Manage Design Capacity?

Avatar

Level 2

We’re trying to use Workfront to manage incoming project requests from various business-line teams, based on a set limit of design hours available per month.

Is it possible to set a cap on how many hours a specific business-line team can use in a given month? Everyone won't be granted equal number of hours. But, for example:

  • If a team has a monthly cap of 40 design hours and they try to submit a new request that would push them over that limit, can Workfront automatically flag that request or put it on hold?

  • The goal is for the design team to only take on work from a business line up to their approved monthly hour limit — any additional requests should either be deferred or reviewed manually.

  • In this setup, the team submitting the work isn't the designer — they’re the requesters. The cap would apply to how many hours that business-line team is allowed to request, not the availability of individual designers.

Can Workfront be configured to support this kind of hour-based intake control per team? If not natively, are there any workarounds, automations, or integrations that could help?
