Customizing To-Dos in Homepage Widget

Hi Everyone--Our organization has several teams who use the "To-Dos" to track internal work that does not need a full project but that should be noted for the purposes of resourcing. The problem is coming in the ability to select both a start and completion date. Currently users are frequently adding a "to-do" with no date associated, which means it doesn't show under our Scheduling tool. I've been experimenting with adding due dates but am running into issues creating date range or the number of desired hours. (It looks as though a user can create a project of personal tasks and make adjustments there) which leads me to the second issue we're running into. The to-do list task will default to a full 8-hour day. So, if we make it 2 days, it will automatically go up to 16 hours Has anyone else run into this issue and either found a work around, fix, or alternative to the to-do list for tracking ad hoc tasks?

Automated email notifications for upcoming tasks

Hi, I'm looking to automate email notifications for upcoming incomplete tasks due (once 30 days before due date, again 7 days before due date) to be sent to the Assignee(s). I've been trying to accomplish this through the Email Notifications on Workfront. I tested this but it was unsuccessful. Not sure if I need to adjust any other settings or if my code is incorrect? My current code is below: <html><p>Hello $$assignedTo:firstName$$,</p><p>You are assigned to work on a remediation commitment for <td>$$project:name$$</td> , <b><ahref=https://<capitalonestress>.my.workfront.com/task/view?ID=$$ID$$">$$name$$</a></b>, which is due on $$estCompletionDate$$. Once complete, please close out the Task in Workfront.</p><tablewidth=350"style=font-size:12px;"><tr><td><b>Task Name:</b></td><td>$$name$$</td></tr><td><b>Project Name:</b></td><td

Agile Waterfall Hybrid Environment - Quarterly Upgrades

Hello all! I'm looking to create a chart of the interchangeable objects in Workfront so we can better prepare and test the quarterly upgrades as well as have a better understanding of how each groups objects interact. For instance, I've noticed that what is used for waterfall "project" is actually called "campaign" for our Marketing Agile friends. When an upgrade comes up, we try to discuss the impact and confusion happens. Does Workfront have an Agile/Waterfall translation table or has anyone created something like that? Essentially I want to be able to say "so this upgrade has a new feature for "tasks" (for my waterfall peeps) aka "jobs" (for my agile peeps)."

Sharing Notifications in Workfront

Is there a setting in Workfront to send a notification when a project is shared with someone, a team or a group? Or will they only see the project show up in their view? Is there a way to notify the people the project was shared with even if they aren't assigned to anything on the project?

In-Line Editing in Reports

Hi Again, I pulled a report of projects and added "Program Name" and "Company Name" as columns. I would like to be able to quickly go down the line and update both of these fields in all of our projects, but I don't have the in-line editing option within the report to update Program Name and Company Name. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks!

Project Progress Status and extending task duration time

I want to double check that extending task duration in a project that has fallen behind (Progress Status At Risk, Behind or Late and Project Condition At Risk or In Trouble) will never return the project to On Time-On Target. I’ve tested this a bit and found extending the duration dates will change the progress status and project condition to other levels, but the project never goes back to On Time-On Target. This makes sense to me since the progress status calculations are based on Estimated and Projected Completion Dates, which are system set. Are there project date situations that I missed in testing where changing task duration can reset an At Risk or Behind progress status to On Time?Thanks

Project Report - New Column - Text Mode - Milestone reporting

Hi, I must be missing something very basic.  Any chance I can get one of you to go over my valueexpression and see what I am missing? I am working on a project report.  I have a milestone process assigned, and milestones assigned to key tasks.  I want to report milestone status at project level and I only want one response, either the last completed milestone or the next milestone not yet completed.  However, as you can see below my output gives me each milestone.  I was hoping it would only return the first one that met the criteria.  Help? Column NameLast Completed MilestoneNext Incomplete MilestoneOutputM0 Pre-Planning: 12/10/24M1 Kick-Off: 12/17/24[should only show last milestone named M1]M2 DevelopmentM3 Compliance ApprovalM4 Launch[should only show first milestone named M2]Text Modedisplayname=Last Completed Milestonedisplayname=Next Incomplete Milestone listdelimiter=<br>listdelimiter=<br> listmethod=nested(tasks).lis

CONCAT function and If then expressions

Hi,I'm just getting started with custom expressions in text mode so my questions may be basic. I have 2 fields on an hour report that I am having trouble with. The first is that I have a project # column and a project name column that I would like to concat into one column that displays the project number and the name together.  I feel like this should be fairly simple but I must have part of my syntax incorrect.  It just comes up blank. I'm struggling with what the listmetod and value format should be and wonder if that is where I am going wrong.displayname=Project listdelimiter=<div> listmethod=nested(projectUserRoles).lists type=iterate valueexpression=CONCAT({project:Project #},":",{project:name}) valueformat=customDataLabelsAsStringThe text mode of the 2 fields I am trying to concat are:linkedname=projectnamekey=view.relatedcolumnnamekeyargkey.0=projectnamekeyargkey.1=Project #querysort=DE:project:Project #valuefield=project:Project #valueformat=customDa

Has anybody created an integration between Adobe Analytics and Adobe Workfront? For example to pass actionable items from data thresholds in AA to AWF? Like troubleshooting an underperforming campaign?

Admin Console login process enabled without prior notice?

We came in to work this morning and found that our Workfront instance had been migrated to the 'Admin console' login process without any prior notice or communication from Adobe. Did this happen to anyone else? We have a support ticket open to see if we can roll this back. As far as I know they still haven't addressed auto-provisioning of new accounts, which is something we were waiting for them to clear up before migrating.  Our users so far have been very confused by the change

Report filter to compare two currency fields

Hello!I am trying to pull a report that pulls specific criteria including if one currency field is greater than another. What would be the best way to do this? For example, in my screenshot, I know we can't put the field name in the box unless you're in text mode, but I'm trying to show what we are attempting to pull. Does anyone know the best way to write this out in text mode?

Looking for User Feedback Survey Strategies

We would like to get feedback from our users in Workfront and are trying to figure out how to solicit and take in that feedback. We are looking specifically to get the feedback from team members who have submitted requests and we want the feedback on how we served the request. Their requests are always converted to projects. I have one person on my team who has suggested assigning a task to give feedback in the resolving projet to the requestor. The task would have a form to fill out. This seems like it will be confusing to the requestor - tracking the task, finding the form, etc. Has anyone solved for this and if so how did you do it?

Workfront Fusion

Cross Project Predecessors

Has anyone been able to read cross project predecessor information in Fusion?  We are trying to read the predecessor projected completion date to then reset the planned start date on the second project to have accurate capacity planning.  Project A - Task 3 need to be completed  for Project B Task 1 to start. I'm not seeing where I can pull predecessor from a different project.  Only the predecessor information from that same project.

Show Active projects on a program report hyperlinked

Hello! I have a basic text mode function I found elsewhere on here, but I'd like to improve it a little bit. I am using a program report and I used the below to display the active projects going on under the program. How can I link them so they are easily clickable and filter to ones in a status called "Active" OR "In Review"? And, bonus points if they can be each on a separate line. Thanks so much to all the text mode heroes out there!displayname=Projects listdelimiter=<hr> listmethod=nested(projects).lists type=iterate valuefield=project:name valueformat=HTML

Text mode is my kryptonite!  We use alot of automation in our workflows. I am trying to create a new dashboard view representing specific elements tied to our automation scenarios. We have parent tasks that represent our collateral routing channels in a more holistic project. Within those channels we have many nested tasks as well as assignees. I need to represent the global channel collateral status but with specific assignees within the nested tasks (we call them route owners and they can change depending on the type of collateral routing as well as have more than one route owner). Is there a way to pull specific assignees in at this more global level? We do have assignees to specific job roles and we also have tagging on the specific tasks that I need to point to to get the assignee.  Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Show actual duration of completed projects in a project report

Hello! I'm trying to create a project report that shows actual duration of projects.  One column is pulling the template duration, but I also want to show in a separate column the duration the project ACTUALLY took. Taking the actual start date and add up the actual completion date and show what that duration is (keep in mind, we have our schedule set up not to include weekends and holidays so it's not as straightforward as adding the days between the two dates). This will then show me a comparison to what the project SHOULD have started vs when it did and then how long is actually took.  Ultimately, I want to show two things: 1) are our templates set up accurately for the duration needed and 2) we are allocating enough time, but our projects are starting too late; therefore we're always late getting them done. Warning: I do not understand text mode well at all. HA!

Hour type changed to "Project Time" used to be "Issue Time"

Hello community.  Our users are saying that some time between 12/19/24 and 12/23/24 something changed in their Time Sheets when logging against a Project,  when they are selecting Hour Type.  It used to be "Issue Time". However now its "Project Time".  I can see in the Hour Type configuration page there are two hour types,  Issue Time and Project Time.  However I think that Issue Time is reserved for Logging Hours against Requests.  What makes this more confusing. is we had re-labeled "Projects" in our Layout Template to be "Issues"  And I think maybe that carried over to re-label the Project Time Hour Type.  And maybe its not now?However, did something change around that time that is now forcing them to use Project time?

Detailed Gantt charts for Programs

Is there a way to see task milestones in individual projects from a Program level? I am looking for a way to view/share a Gantt chart that shows multiple projects within a Program and the various steps required for each of the projects. Currently when I open a Gantt chart view within a program, it just shows a single line for the project as a whole.

Showing if a project was ever in On Hold status in a task report column

Hi folks, seeing if anyone has a way to do this...I have a task report pulling values from a task custom form on all projects via templates that indicates if the project met or didn't meet the SLA (based on the task custom form looking at when a certain set of tasks in the project was completed vs the SLA). I have this working fine, and reports with bar charts show projects that didn't vs. did meet the SLA. What I'm after is if any the projects ever when to On Hold status any point in the project. I want to add this as a report column and not a filter since I don't want to filter them out, but just to give context in a column to show for example XYZ projects that didn't meet the SLA, the column can show me if it ever went On Hold (not tasks, the project itself). Is this possible in a text mode value expression in a column? I tried messing with cicontains=On Hold and project:noteText but not getting anywhere.
