DescriptionWe need a way to reassign all open and completed tasks from a deactivated user to an active user in bulk. Why This Feature Is ImportantWhen an employee leaves the company, there is currently no method to transfer their tasks directly from their profile. This creates administrative overhead and risks losing visibility on critical tasks that may still require action or tracking. Proposed FunctionalityUpon deactivating a user, the system should prompt the administrator to select an active user to whom all open and completed tasks will be reassigned. This should occur automatically as part of the deactivation process, minimizing manual intervention and ensuring continuity of work. Current BehaviorThere is no built-in functionality to support bulk reassignment of tasks from a deactivated user.
Description - My managers cannot log time via the Hours subtab unless granted admin access. I need my managers to be able to log time for their direct reports to ensure we are tracking time to the best of our ability. Why is this feature important to you - I need my managers to be able to log time for their direct reports, especially when sometimes workers are away on shoots. The responsibility is always on the worker but if they are having status meetings and reveal the information why not help them out and allow managers to log on their behalf? How would you like the feature to work - The feature would work identically to those with admin rights to timesheets. When the user goes to the hours subtask on a work object they will see a log time button. From there they can select themselves or anyone that reports to them and log hours for a specific date. Current Behaviour - I set managers to their own access level and grant them admin rights to timesheets. As you can imagine, this is not ideal since this gives all managers the ability to edit any time logged in even if it is not by someone on their staff. Although the odds are low that someone would abuse this power, I prefer not to open ourselves up to the chance.
Description - I would want to receive customized alerts dashboards. Imagine clicking "Analyze Further" and it shows supplementary information for each alerts so users dont have to manually dig deeper.Why is this feature important to you - This would alleviate a lot of the work and troubleshooting required once an alert is triggered.How would you like the feature to work - we configure a specific dashboard to be sent along with each alert. Current Behavior - We only receive the default alert analysis which shows the last 30 days or longer of the underlying metric trend
We would like an option to clear selected Mentions once an update has a response. Currently the Mentions Widget retains mentions and it is hard to sort through them to determine what needs follow-up. It would be nice to have the option to clear or hide selections Mentions once an update/reply has been made.
Description - Right now, the People tab of a project is not dynamically updated to people actually in that project. Anytime someone is added to a task or issue in the project, they are added to the People tab (or are the PO or other reasons). But then they remain in the People tab even if they are removed from the project tasks. Why is this feature important to you - If users are opting into emails for 'updates about projects I'm on' then they are getting these unnecessarily. This is a big issue when it comes to projects that act as the projects receiving issues/requests - those projects will never go away as long as we have the request queue feeding it, but more people are randomly added to the project and after a while they aren't needed to be there but are still getting the notifications.How would you like the feature to work - The People tab should be a reflection of the current state of the project, and should not include users who have been removed as assignees. Current Behaviour - Users are added to the People tab when assigned to a task or issue, but if a user is removed as an assignee, they remain on the People tab.
Description - Would love to have the option to pin and unpin a certain update to the top of the updates thread. This would allow for easy visibility on the most up to date items, etc. Would also love the option to filter updates by date, time, etc. to quickly search through and locate a certain update. Why is this feature important to you - This would increase productivity within the Workfront platform tremendously and would avoid confusion and clearer communication with cross-functional partners looking for information via updates. How would you like the feature to work - A button that says "Pin" next to "Reply" and " Like" - Once pinned there would be an option to "Unpin" For the filter, some sort of filtering option at the top right of updates then you can click and customize certain date, time, latest comments, etc) Current Behaviour - Updates are ordered in the time in they are posted, and all replies and updates are not able to be customized at this time making it difficult to find important updates.
Description / Current behaviour:If a Task has Revenue Type = Role Hourly [With Cap / Plus Fixed] setting, the Planned & Actual Task revenue is calculated with the Billing Rate associated with the Assignment Role(s) of the Task.The Billing Rate applied may be the default one set on the Job Role, or one that is set on the Company / Project for that particular Job Role.If a Task has multiple Assignments, revenue is calculated for each of them separately (using Assignment Role) and then summed.For User Assignments (as opposed to Role Assignments), the Assignment Role (labelled as "Assignee's Role" on the UI) can be (only) one of the Job Roles associated with the assigned user.The following business problem exists with this scenario:A task is planned with Job Role X and sold to a client at a price calculated with Job Role X.Given task is assigned to a user with Job Role Y (since a user with Job Role X is not available)The Assignment Role will be Job Role Y, i.e. the Job Role of the User.Workfront calculates the planned / actual revenue of the Assignment using the Job Role of the user (Job Role Y).Consequently, the planned/actual revenue of the assignment (and of the Task and Project) is incorrect, since the correct figure would be calculated using Job Role X.How would you like the feature to work?When editing Assignments of a Task, any active Job Role can be specified as "Assignee's Role" not only the Job Roles associated with the assigned user.The planned / actual revenue for the assignment is calculated with the Assignment Role (as it is now).Role Hourly revenue can be calculated with any role, not only with one of the assigned user's own roles.For convenience, project level default assignment roles can be defined for each project team member.If a project level default assignment role has been defined for a user, when that particular user is assigned to any task on that particular Job , the "Assignee's Role" (Assignment Role) on the new Assignment will automatically be set to the user's project level assignment role.It should be possible to manually change the Assignment Role to any Job Role.When setting a project level assignment role for a user, the Assignment Role of this user on this project on existing Assignments is not changed.Configuring project level default assignment roles can commence either on the "People" tab of the project or in a new Column labelled as "Default Job Roles".Project level default assignment roles can't be date effective. They apply to the project regardless of the date.The proposed way of working will be really critical to our new core design!
We'd like to have the option to apply contouring (i.e. edit the distribution of the allocated hours per day/week/month) to tasks & issues in the "Unassigned Work" section of WLB. The UI would be the same as that in the Assigned Work section. A task's resource needs fluctuate during the span of the task and it is often known before a user is assigned but can't be captured via the Workload Balancer UI at the moment. This would make resource planning easier and more real-life.
Description: The Search UI has recently changed in Workfront removing both the ability to simply close window when finished searching to return to the page you were on and the ability to have your search filters per object type persist.This change impacts our user base negatively enough that we assumed it was a bug and I put in a support ticket. I've received the following response: What Changed in the Workfront Search UI?Full-Screen Search: The Advanced Search is now a full-screen experience. When you open the search, it overlays the entire page.No Close Button: The new design does not include a close (X) button to exit search and return to your previous page. Instead, you must use the browser’s back button.Navigation Impact: If you perform multiple searches or add filters, each action adds to your browser history. Returning to your starting page (e.g., a project) requires multiple clicks on the back button, which can be cumbersome.Consistency: This behavior is the same across Chrome and Firefox, on both Windows and Mac. Why Was This Changed? According to Adobe Workfront’s official documentation: The Advanced Search is now full screen. You must navigate away from the page rather than closing the dialog.This update is part of a broader interface modernization effort to make Workfront more consistent with other Adobe applications. However, it has unintentionally reduced usability in this area. Known Limitations and User ImpactThere is no way to simply “close” the search and return to your previous context. The filter is not prepopulated and does not persist after a refresh. The only way to return to your previous page is to use the browser’s back button, which can be tedious after multiple searches or filter changes. This affects all users and is not browser- or OS-specific. Workarounds & RecommendationsUse the Back Button: For now, using the browser’s back button is the only way to return to your previous context. Open Search in a New Tab: As a workaround, right-click the search menu and choose “Open link in new tab” (if available), so your original page remains open. Why is this feature important to you: Being able to simply close the search window when done searching is the simplest most efficient user journey especially if you are trying to eliminate user clicks as much as possible. Right now, with the update in place, if you perform a search and then add multiple filters in order to narrow down your search you will have to have either remembered to open a new window/tab for searching alone or will be forced to click the back button in your browser multiple times to return to your original page. Filters you set no longer persist to the next search which necessitates this multiple iterations in the search window every time you use it unless you want to use a simple, very generic search and not drill down past the first page of results If this is aligned to how search works in other adobe products, search should be updated across their whole product offering because this experience is terrible.How would you like the feature to work:1) Primary concern: Bring back the close button so you can simply close the search window at any time to return to the page from which the search window was opened2) Secondary concern: Allow filters to persist in the search window
It turns out program tokens can be in use in very strange ways, which makes it a necessity to have the "used by" functionality for program tokens. A use case I came across today: Original token is set up in a campaign folder. Someone erroneously made changes to the inherited token in a program that was stored inside that campaign folder. The program with the incorrectly overridden token was then cloned to an entirely different campaign folder. The cloned program retained its reference to the erroneously overridden token in the source program. Therefore, when we tried to remove the token this was not possible as it was still in use. We needed Marketo Support to trace where that was, because in the UI it was impossible to figure out. Although it can be argued that the link to the original overridden token should be broken in the cloning, providing visibility on where a program token is used prevents this confusion already quite well.
Usually name of variables / metrics / segments, but also their value, are something really technical. That kind of values absolutely do not suit the needs of top management who cannot read technical description.Also, when we do complex workspace the name of column is hidden because no space available in layout. So, why dont allow to overwrite and change color of any string we have into column/row head or cell?
