Custom Proofing Approval Report

Avatar

Level 1

Hi WF Community, I want to create a proofing approval report with the following characteristics and don't know where to start. I've tried a few of my old tricks but they don't seem to work with this new report type. Any ideas on how I can accomplish these goals?

View (columns needed):

-Proof Name

-Proof Owner

-Proof Deadline Time Stamp

-Project/Task/Issue Name the Proof was generated in

-Link to the WF Project/Task/Issue the Proof was generated in (bonus if you can make the column above a clickable link and we can remove this column)

-Stage the Proof is In

-Comments Added when the Proof was Generated

Grouping:

-By Project Category (aka Project Type)

Filters:

-Only show proofs where the proof creator's home team ID = user's home team ID.

Additional Formatting:

-Conditional Red Text, Bold, Red Background on entire row if proof deadline is within an hour or past due

-Conditional Red Text, Bold, Red Background on entire row if document name contains "urgent" Christopher Wirth Stream Companies

This is just a comment that the Proof deadline (the last time I looked at it) is a text field, so hence not sortable by normal time-based constraints like a past-due time. -skye

This will get you to display the project the proof is on:

displayname=Project Name

linkedname=documentVersion

namekey=view.relatedcolumn

namekeyargkey.0=documentVersion

namekeyargkey.1=documentID

querysort=documentVersion:document:project:name

textmode=true valuefield=documentVersion:document:project:name

valueformat=HTML

I had a chat with someone in Proof this morning, and rumor is the Proof deadline text field is being changed to a date field for R19.1 -- just in case anyone is interested. Haven't had a chance to test it yet. -skye

I don't suppose any of you have figured out how to get a link to the proof in a Proof Approval report column? Sean

Hi @Rob Lawrence , could you also provide code for how to group proofs by Project? Thank you! Christine Zhu Chobani

Hi - yeah, you can only go to the document in a proof approval report as the Proof URL is not stored in Workfront at the moment. I remember seeing something in the Idea Exchange about that, but I can't find it. Anthony Imgrund FCB

group.0.displayname=Project Name

group.0.linkedname=documentVersion

Hi @Rob Lawrence , @Skye Hansen sent me to this thread, which has been helpful to get the project name pulled over. I tried your grouping trick (Post #8 above) however and it listed all of the proofs under a grouping called "Project Name: No Value"

Is there something I'm missing or has there been some sort of changes?

And actually, what would be ideal is grouping "by Project by Document Name"...

THANKS! Kevin Quosig

Hi @Kevin Quosig , Looks like there was an issue with the value format, this should resolve it:

group.0.displayname=Project Name

group.0.linkedname=documentVersion

group.0.name=Project Name

group.0.namekey=view.relatedcolumn

group.0.namekeyargkey.0=documentVersion

group.0.namekeyargkey.1=documentID group.0.querysort=documentVersion:document:project:name group.0.valuefield=documentVersion:document:project:name

group.0.valueformat=string

textmode=true

try this for adding document name below: group.0.displayname=Project Name group.0.linkedname=documentVersion group.0.name=Project Name group.0.namekey=view.relatedcolumn group.0.namekeyargkey.0=documentVersion group.0.namekeyargkey.1=documentID group.0.querysort=documentVersion:document:project:name group.0.valuefield=documentVersion:document:project:name group.0.valueformat=string group.1.descriptionkey=document.name group.1.link.linkproperty.0.name=ID group.1.link.linkproperty.0.valuefield=documentID group.1.link.linkproperty.0.valueformat=string group.1.link.lookup=link.view group.1.link.value=nested(documentVersion).nested(document).val(objCode) group.1.namekey=document.name group.1.querysort=documentVersion:document:name group.1.valuefield=documentVersion:document:name group.1.valueformat=HTML group.1.width=100 textmode=true Rob Lawrence Workfront

My hat's off to you sir, that worked like a charm! Many happy Project Managers means a couple of happy admins. :-) Kevin Quosig

Hi Christopher,

Did you ever figure out how to display a column for the Stage that the proof is currently in as opposed to "Active Proof Stages?"
