Project Report to Pull Project that has none of its Tasks Started yet

Hi,

I am trying to build a workfront report that Pulls in List of Projects that are in Planning Status and None of the underlying Task is started yet, i.e all Tasks on such Project should be in New Status.

 

Appreciate the help

Hi @abka, you would leverage an Exists statement to accomplish this by essentially saying "show me all projects, with a status of Planning, where no tasks exist that are in a status other than New". 

 

So, in a Project report, you would add the following text mode code to the filter:

 

status=PLN status_Mod=in EXISTS:A:$$EXISTSMOD=NOTEXISTS EXISTS:A:$$OBJCODE=TASK EXISTS:A:projectID=FIELD:ID EXISTS:A:status=NEW EXISTS:A:status_Mod=notin
