Does anyone has a sample communication that has been sent to users about Workfront URL change? I am looking for some sample communication to be sent out.

This is what I sent out…we used the changeover by WorkFront to create an alias, so that we never have to announce a change in URLs ever again. We alias crowley.my.workfront.com to workfront.crowley.com. I also sent this out before WorkFront announced an extension to the cut-over / cut-off date. Hope this helps… Hi: You are receiving this email because you are listed as an active user in WorkFront, the project management software used by IT and other groups at Crowley. Two years ago, WorkFront changed the name of their software from “AtTask” to “WorkFront”. At the end of March of this year, WorkFront is going to change the URL/Address used to get to their software - they are removing the name AtTask from that URL. Before the end of March, please start using : http://workfront.crowley.com/ to get to WorkFront. Other URLs will stop working at the end of March, so please delete them. We’ve activated auto-authenticate in Chrome, so that it shouldn’t give you an Azure login screen anymore - it will automatically log you in. If you have any questions or concerns, please do let me know straight away. Thanks very much! Eric

Two required actions on your end will need to be completed before March 29, 2017. 1. Update any existing bookmarks or saved URLs to your new url: .my.workfront.com 2. Update the metadata file from Workfront in your IdP For many configurations, the update to your metadata file occurs automatically and might already be complete.
