Context: I have a report we use weekly to view which users are assigned to a project. We have 1 user assigned to copywriter, 1 user assigned to designer, etc. My report pulls in multiple users sometimes and causes confusion.Example: It pulls in 2 users for designer, when only 1 is the designer on the project because the second user also has a role of designer, but is not assigned to the designer role on the project. They are assigned to the project in a secondary role, they just also happen to be a designer. The need: I need the report to just return the single user assigned to that specific role on the project/task list. I do not want more than one user returned just because they are on the project but not assigned to that role.I’d like to avoid creating custom fields on a project and having to populate them manually for each project and then using those custom fields in the report, though I do think that is a possible solution. Text Code I currently use (works great when there is onl

Hello!  I managed to create a report to count the number of R1-R7 parent tasks in a report. However, when I look at it more closely, the parent tasks are repeating! I created a filter where parent tasks contain R1 OR R2 OR R3, etc., and I also grouped them by the parent task name.  Is there a way to remove the repeats, because when I check the projects, they only appear once!Grouping: group.0.linkedname=parentgroup.0.namekey=view.relatedcolumngroup.0.namekeyargkey.0=parentgroup.0.namekeyargkey.1=namegroup.0.orientation=Hgroup.0.valueexpression=IF(CONTAINS("R1",{parent}.{name}),"R1",IF(Contains("R2",{parent}.{name}),"R2",IF(CONTAINS("R3",{parent}.{name}),"R3",IF(CONTAINS("R4",{parent}.{name}),"R4",IF(CONTAINS("R5",{parent}.{name}),"R5",IF(CONTAINS("R6",{parent}.{name}),"R6",IF(CONTAINS("R7",{parent}.{name}),"R7")))))))group.0.valuefield=parent:namegroup.0.valueformat=stringtextmode=true What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to fix this?

I am having an issue where I have users assigned to tasks however their hours are showing zero. This changed when I updated the task assignments to be their job role names instead of their actual user name because I am working with 300+ projects and want to resource level. Any insight into why their hours might be showing zero if they're assigned to a task with hours? Also note that each of the project tasks are set to start and end during work hours. 

In the new approvals, I get emailed about everything - every approved/changes/needs work, when it is final decision, etc.  I can see all that in my notifications in WF and it is burying important emails.I can’t seem to find a place to turn it off - any one happen to know?

Hi, I need to find a way to show active projects per month (or ideally, every two weeks) for 2025 and start comparing it to this year. IE, how many projects were active in January 2025 vs January 2026. Not how many projects started or closed, but how many were still active. This seems like it should be an easy report to pull, but I have not been successful. This information is now required by our leadership, so the report is essential. Thanks in advance for any help and advice!

As the title says, I am at a loss.  I do not know where to begin, I just know that I need to become the admin.  Does anyone have the patience enough to help me through it?

Once Unified Experience is in place in our instance, are there any admin controls to change the icon menu view that users see? I see that Workfront Profile is now accessible from the account avatar. But the other menu icons and account links are very confusing and I would like to limit the user view to a lot of these. Is that possible? We tested with a non-admin user view in Unified Experience and the user sees a lot of information that isn't helpful to a non admin user.Thanks  

In our organization, each business unit (BU) has its own portfolio. Within these portfolios, programs are organized and aligned to the respective BU. However, is there a solution for a program to span across multiple BUs—essentially, for a single program to be associated with more than one portfolio?

Hello, I was wondering, is there any way to combine/sum f few expense types and display that sum as a wedge in a piechart. I need to sum up a few different expense types and show those against one different expense type. So 2 wedges in a piechart, one of them is ths sum of a few expense types and the other is just one.

Hello,Is it possible to add the marked field as a column in any report? 

Hi Workfront SME’s- late last week, hundreds of very old proofs appeared in the My Approvals widget for several users in our Workfront instance (our Deputy CMO has 184 proofs from 2022 & on- the normal amount is 10). Did anyone experience a similar issue? We have had several instances of the My Approvals widget being out of sync with the Proofing module. This issue has happened to us 8 times since May 2025. I sent off a ticket to Adobe on Friday morning asking tech support to re-sync WF & the proofing module immediately, and I AM STILL WAITING for the re-sync to happen. Meanwhile, with hundreds of outdated proofs in the widget, it is causing confusion about what does or does not need to be reviewed, is causing delays on feedback & approvals, and is forcing people to create workarounds such as sending assets via email for approval, which could cause problems for us with internal audits in the future. 

Hi everyone,We are currently having an issue with our dynamic boards where when we add a card from the board view, it defaults the date to the project start date. It will default it even if we have the date correct when we input the card - when we refresh it refreshes the date to the project start date. Obviously this is an issue. Has any one had a similar issue? If so, how did you fix it? Thanks!Sabrina

I want to create interactive proof using the URLs hosted under a website. Because proof hq is not allowing to view it since it says connection error.  what configuration should i do for that?Will allowlisting of specific urls help?

Hey hey Workfronters!I’m working on bringing a new team into Workfront and need your advice/expertise. What’s the best way to set up a task with a varying duration?For example: Task A has a fixed date. Task C has a fixed date. Task B needs to start on Task A’s due date and finish on Task C’s start date. The duration will flux as the fixed dates are edited. I’ve tried various predecessors and duration types but nothing is quite giving me what I need. 

I have a proof report that shows me everything I need except the planned routing due date. I have the field attached to all of our issues and projects, but I can’t find a way to get it to show on the report. Anyone have an idea how to do it?

Hi. I am unable to change or view the icons in my report's column cells. Although I added column rules to display specific colored icons when I select a particular option, the icons are not appearing. This may be due to an error in the column rules.

I’ve set up reports to show “counts as revenue” hours vs total recorded hours, but since we have not required employees to fill up their time sheets, a lot of them don’t record non-revenue hours. We can change that through training but in the meantime I would like to create a report that shows revenue hours vs total available hours. But when I’m trying to build the report,  don’t see any option for an “Available Hours” column. Do I need to do this in text mode? If so, how would that be parsed? I don’t use text mode a lot, and when I do it’s mostly finding something that looks similar to what I want and copying or editing it. Thanks in advance. 

Hello,I have System Admin access, and I can see many projects that were not created by my group.Is it possible to make only the projects created by my group visible to me?Note: The unwanted projects are visible even though my ID was not added, and the project sharing option is set to "Only invited people can access."

We have a dropdown field (Project Scope) where the label and value differ (e.g., label = Maui SMA, value = SMA). I’m trying to build a report that displays the value instead of the label, but the only way I’ve found to do this is through text mode— which then disables inline editing.Is there any way to show the value in a report while still keeping inline editing enabled?

I’m running an access level report in Workfront and I’m trying to get collection data to appear on the report. Based on the API explorer I’d like to get the following fieldsAccess Level PermissionscoreAction forbiddenActions secondaryActionsI set up the collection text mode column and was able to successfully get values for “coreAction”. However, it’s not returning the proper values for forbidden or secondary and instead returns a string of code.  I’ve noticed that the field types for coreAction is different than the other 2 field types Field Type: string vs Field Type: string[]  Anyone able to help solve for this?
