Workfront

Now that we can attach custom forms to group objects (thank you!), can we have the ability to edit multiple groups at once? I am updating all our groups with custom data but it's slow and tedious without the ability to edit multiple groups at once.

When adding a new template tasks to an existing project, the date gets set to the start of the project. For some long projects, you could have to click through the months of a few years to select the new dates. A "today" button or advance year button would save a lot of time.

Description - Add the time off icon (airplane) next to the assignees name that has already been assigned a task. Also, adding a notification to project owners that someone assigned to their task has added time off.Why is this feature important to you - Make it easier for Project Owners to track time off for their tasks assignees. How would you like the feature to work - When a user puts in Time off, a little airplane would pop up next to their name on the task they are currently assigned too. Also, if the users puts in time off and they are assigned to a tasks, the project owner gets a notification letting them know this user has time off and its pushing back their dates.Current Behaviour - The time off icon only appears as you are assigning tasks, not after the task is assigned. There are currently no notifications around time off for Project Owners.

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.

When someone is granted access to a report, project, issue, etc. Workfront generates an automatics notification outlining what the object is that the user is being granted access to and who is granting it. It would be nice to be able to add a custom message to explain what the object is and why the person is getting access to go with the notification.

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.&nb

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 thi

Description - It would be much nicer the Edit Text Mode button enabled editing in the main windows instead of having to put it in the tiny popup window that appears. Why is this feature important to you - The edit popup is so small you can't really use it. You have to do your editing in an external editor and past it into the popup How would you like the feature to work - upon clicking "Edit Text Mode" the main window where you can see the code should be enabled for editing.

Description - If your text mode code includes a long line(s), the window widens to the point that the Edit Text Mode button isn't visible on the screen, making it easy to think that the button doesn't exist, especially since the code wraps in the edit popup window. Why is this feature important to you - multiple times we've had users think there was a bug because they couldn't find the button How would you like the feature to work - The button should always be visible on screen

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

Description - Currently deleting archived cards is a method to improve board performance. Rather than manually deleting one-by-one there could be a setting that controls what & when archived cards are auto-deleted by the systemWhy is this feature important to you - It takes time to manually delete a card one-by-one, and one has to remember to do so.How would you like the feature to work - This feature would mimic the existing archive setting where you could control when a card gets deleted (# days, # weeks etc) (see screenshot)Current Behaviour - There is no automation.

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 acro

Description - After Adobe Admin Console migration, external users created in Workfront need to be approved by system administrators, otherwise their accounts won't be active, and they won't be able to use Workfront. This is very time-consuming especially for larger organizations with 6k+ users. So, we would benefit from having an "action" available in Workfront Fusion that would automate the approval process for us.Why is this feature important to you - This will eliminate the manual effort of approving every user created in the system on daily basis. It will save time for the system administrators to look for the approvals daily and approve. It will also save the waiting time of the user, so they don't have to wait for approval to be able to use Workfront.How would you like the feature to work - an Action should be available in Workfront Fusion in the Update record -> "User" record type, so it can approve the users automatically.Current Behavior - at the moment when external u
