Improve the Business Case functionality & export

The business case automatically picks up any custom form already attached to a project, which is then automatically added to the exported business case (pdf). We have custom forms attached to all project templates, but the information contained in these forms shouldn’t necessarily be included in a business case.

Whilst I have seen there’s an option to remove a custom form in the business case view, this though removes the custom form from the project, along with any data already present, which isn’t great.

We have a unique custom form created for the business case fields we need that aren’t already part of the standard Workfront build, but we would need the ability to remove any other custom form from being included in the business case export, but without removing it from the project entirely and the data already present.

Without this functionality we will have to resort back to a Word based business case template, which would need to be attached to each project in Workfront, which isn’t ideal considering the good functionality and options already present in Workfront.

We would also like the exported business case to include our company branding, and if possible, editable, so an option other than export to .pdf would be great.

This would be great! For us the export business case to word or excel would be extremely beneficial.

Completely agree with Danny! We greatly need the ability to select/customize the data output for the Business Case. There is a wealth of information available in the Business Case and our custom forms however, we are limited in the order information is presented in the Business Case and it doesn't export to a consumable format for presentation. Without the ability to modify the Business Case export, we will need to continue using .PPT's to present the information resulting in duplication of effort for our management team.
