How to make a report with multiple rows that is filled in by the users and is unlimited?

I am in an urgent crisis trying to solve this problem. I have 50 Word documents that need to be shared as ONEDRIVE files so that multiple people can edit the Word files. I want to make a tab in the project that will link to a report that can list all the files each in a row, and where the user can paste the share link to each of the 50 files.

I know how to make a Task report that will do that, but then only one row appears on each project. How do I make a report with 50 blank rows for users to enter their document links? Is this even possible?

    Would a project with 50 tasks work? Then you can create a task report and filter on that project.

    That is an interesting idea thank you! I did subsequently discover that about a week ago WF introduced a OneDrive integration! If my IT department is able to figure it out, that is the answer to all my dreams and more. Here’s hoping!

    Question: Are they all editing the same files or are the files like forms they are supposed to fill out with their project's info and Save As? Because the OneDrive integration just links back to the same document and doesn't do a Save As. Just wanted you to know if that is what you need.

    If you need them to be separate files filled out for that project, you can also create a template with the 50 documents in it (no tasks or anything), and then they can attach that to their project to get those documents and then edit them for their individual project.

    Jill, here's an idea, if I understand what you need. This is a little rough, but might meet your urgent need.

    You could create an issue report. Maybe call it "Shared Links", and only put two columns in the view: a name column and a URL column. Change the header title on the URL column to "Shared Links".

    Put a filter in there to exclude any issues you might already have in your project. If you're not using issues on these projects you can leave the filter blank.

    Save the report and then add it to a new dashboard you name "Shared Links", then add this to your project as a custom section (in New Workfront Experience) or a custom tab (in Classic). You can create 50 issues in the project. Maybe name the each something like "Put document name here". Your report will show all 50 issues as separate rows which you can inline edit to supply the document name and the shared link url.

    I hope this is helpful. Let me know if I need to explain it better.

      Oh that is an interesting solution. We don’t use Issues in projects and I’ve even taken that tab off everyone’s view because my users find it confusing. I can play with this for sure. Thanks!
