Multiple Task Owners - Reporting

Hi,

My projects have tasks with multiple people assigned to them. Yet workfront only allows for a primary task owner. The report I view only shows the status based on the primary task owner. When I view reports for the secondary task owners the task doesn't show up on their list, because it's on the primary's list. How can I change that? Is there a way to adjust the reporting so the task shows up on the secondary task owners report as well? Thanks.

You can use the filter of 'assignment users name' in a task report - that will show all assignees, not just primary!

Hi Linda,

 

What type of report are you using? 

 

I would recommend using an assignment report as this will show tasks (or issues) based on who is assigned, regardless of whether or not they are a primary or secondary assignee. Using this type of report, you will get a line item for every assignee (as opposed to a line item for every task if you were used a task report)

 

Best Regards

Rich
