Task report splitting out planned hours by assignee

Hi WF Community,

Does anyone know if it's possible to split out a task report by user and planned hours, or would an assignment or work item report be the only options for that?

Example:

- 20 planned hours on Task A

- Pardeep is assigned 5 planned hours

- Keleel is assigned 15 planned hours

 

We would like to see the task report grouped by task, and then see the breakout of planned hours by assignee under the task.

I know this can be handled in an assignment report, but curious if a task report can do this as well?
Thanks,
Nick

hi Nick, I'm not sure if you're familiar with collections in reporting, but if you are, your question is an example of where they would be used.

You're specifically looking for the assignments collection and then Planned Hours is known as workRequired in the system. A quick search focusing on collections, assignments and workrequired would definitely net you with some good samples to start experimenting with.

Here's a very specific answer with that in mind: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/workfront-questions/text-code-for-assignement-breakdown/m-p/480987#M13783

Thanks for nudging me in that direction, Skye.  A collection could work, I'll see if it suffices based on requirements.  I was able to list assignees and their planned hours in a custom column.

Hi @nickva7 were you able to find a solution? Keen to know as I'm trying to build a report to compare planned hours vs actual hours by job role/user. So far it seems I need to use an assignment report but this comes with some issues so was wondering if I could use a task report as well. 

 

Thanks
