I am trying to create a report that displays which user changed the status of the project and when for auditing purposes. Has anyone else done this? Thanks! Erica Erica Abenroth Rli Corp.

Skye, You are correct. All returned results are Task or Issue status change - none are project status change - thus the problem remains unsolved. I opened a ticket and Workfront does not currently have that functionality - for the user to be able to report on the status change of the project. Uggh and double Uggh - management asked me for a report just yesterday morning - my response - Workfront limitation. Benetta Perry APS

thanks for that, Benetta! I guess if people really want it, it sounds like Doug's Nessie app is the way to go :) For our side, we had one team specifically asking about canceled/on hold projects, so I am able to get them close with a task report (it shows their completed tasks in projects that are on hold or canceled, and no further ability to filter past that unless they give me extra parameters) -skye

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't realize it doesn't include project statuses!

When the note is on the project, it's noteObjCode is Blank which is why you are only seeing tasks and issue is you set the filter as NotBlank. This is for status changes, so new projects still in default statuses won't appear. You may need to look at some other note objects to see if there is other wording that you need to capture beyond the word status. Finally if your status changes are happening automatically, especially completion that isn't a change being made by an individual and I'm not sure how that is audited. -- Melinda Layten, Senior Consultant Work Management Improvement CapabilitySource - 2018 Workfront Services Partner of the Year Phone: (484) 505-6855 site: www.capabilitysource.com email: melinda.layten@capabilitysource.com - we simplify your work so you can run your business -

Interesting that it works that way, I would have never guessed! Thanks!

Cancel and On Hold project statuses are definitely set manually--I did a search on "cancel" in audit text and couldn't find anything listed at all. Oh well... thanks anyway! -skye
