Text Mode Examples

Put me down for a "yay." frankly, I'd be willing to go tag old posts. I spent an hour last night looking for textmode examples in old community posts and it would have been no big deal for me to tag them as I went. It would even save time for the next time I had to run the same search, if I could specify that I was looking for untagged posts vs tagged ones, because then I could continue the process. -skye

Tagging is probably the best option for this. At the top of threads, there is a little icon that looks like a price tag and an option to 'Add a tag'. You can type in a new tag or search for existing ones. Then when you search, you should see the tags on the left side of the search page under User Tags. This is definitely something that I would like to improve in the community. Tags haven't been used enough for them to be affective right now. Perhaps a future version of the community will require you to add at least one topic tag to new posts so that the community is easier to search. I'm working on options.

Yay! Will tag in the meantime. But this is probably my biggest pain point, and a huge opportunity for Workfront to provide greater value to our organization. Thx for raising this. Jeff Jeffrey Thell Bracket Global

That's a Yay from me as well. I keep a text doc in Box with lot's of examples. Every time we create a report that i think is pretty cool, I copy the text mode code to my document for reference. Randy Roberts Zimmerman Advertising LLC

Alison, @Alison Milbury Is there way to create a separate thread under discussions for just Text mode examples? Michael Lebowitz GuideWell Connect

@Alison Milbury -- I only have rights to tag in the Seattle group (where I'm admin) . I don't have any rights to tag in this group (no tag icon) -skye

Thank you for pointing that out, Skye, I thought I was just blind and everyone but me knew where to tag posts... I used to be in the habit of "Liking" posts, thinking that might be a handy way to bookmark for future reference; but haven't discovered a way to see a list of posts I've liked in the past, so I eventually stopped. @Alison Milbury is such a thing possible?

@William English Finding your list of likes is a little difficult. The platform refers to them as "Recommends." Go to your profile page and click on 'My Contributions' and then 'Summary'. You'll see a pie chart with your types of contributions. Click on the portion of the chart labeled 'Recommends' and then scroll down to see a list of posts that you have liked.

@Michael Lebowitz The problem with creating a thread is that people will continue to post new threads and it's difficult to get people to stick to one thread. I could create a special interest group and have people post their Text Mode examples in there for now. Do you think people would join and add their examples? @Skye Hansen I was worried that might be the case. The tagging functionality on this community platform isn't where I'd like it to be. I'll see what improvements are available, but we may need to wait for a platform change to get the functionality we want. Thanks! Alison Milbury Workfront Community Manager

Allison, A special interest group might just work! Thanks.. Michael Lebowitz GuideWell Connect
