How do I create a user task report showing tasks assigned in projects, requests assigned to them, and tasks they create for themselves via "My Work"?

Essentially, I'm trying to create a fully comprehensive report showing everything a user has in their queue, or to do list, at any given point. I'd like to show:

  • tasks assigned in a project
  • assignments when a request is submitted via request queue
  • assignments when a user requests something from another user directly
  • tasks a user creates for them selves

Hi Chris,

Take a look at this document in Workfront one, it provides the code needed to build a report showing tasks and requests in one report view. Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Rich.

Hi Richard,

This is immensely helpful - thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!

By chance, do you know how to filter this report to a specific user's tasks? The current code as-is shows all users tasks / issues, but I'm curious how I could create this report for a specific user.

Thanks again,

Chris

UPDATE to conclude this thread and clarify / correct the comments made above as some were incorrect.

This question was answered / clarified in this thread here. In summary, assignment reports show each assignee as a separate line item, so every assignee is the "primary" Assigned To person. Therefore on the contrary to the thread above, using the 'assigned to' field within a filter on an assignment report will return work objects where the user is the primary assignee or a secondary assignee.
