Workfront

If any Workfront Admins are attending the PMI Global Summit 12/12 - 12/15, please advise. Would love to create some networking opportunities where there are any gaps in schedules and sessions during the run of the conference! https://pmiglobalsummit.gcs-web.com/

Ready to take your Workfront reports to the next level?  Watch how @skyehansen  & @nathanjo1 offered two perspectives on creating EXISTS statements that can make your reporting dreams come true.  During this workshop, they shared technical know-how and practical applications to show us how to use EXISTS statements to build smarter reports.  Did you miss the session? No worries!

I like to think about it like the game "Six Degrees of K

In Workfront, users have the ability to download the proofing tool, which displays all associated comments. Is it possible to upload a PDF that contains comments and have those pdf comments automatically populate within the proofing tool?

Hi everyone! Back at Summit in March, we heard about non-labor resources coming to Workfront. Has anyone seen any updates on this? It's a key thing for our team as we manage a large equipment inventory, and I'd love to streamline our systems. Thanks!

Hello!  I have Document Version report that filters by pending decisions and a specific active stage.  This was previously working fine, but now it is not removing the proofs where a decision has been made on the stage. As if its no longer considering that stage inactive. The stages are typically unlocked, though if no more decisions are required and its moved on to the next stage, it should still not be pulling in. What am I missing? Thank you! 

I have a document report which shows all files within a task folder called Final Files. However on occasions our team is creating subfolders and the report is not picking up any of the files that sit within those subfolders. The subfolder names are not consistent and therefore unable to pick up with an AND: for an additional folder name.I am currently using this text mode which works if the files are sitting directly under the Final Files:EXISTS:a:$$EXISTSMOD=EXISTSEXISTS:a:$$OBJCODE=DOCFLDEXISTS:a:documentID=FIELD:IDEXISTS:a:folder:name=Final FilesEXISTS:a:folder:name_Mod=eqprojectID=XXXXXXX Any help would be really appreciated.projectID_Mod=in

Hello, I currently have a subgroup within a main group. I would like to remove this subgroup from the list and turn it into a main group. Is there a way to do this?

Has anyone tried swapping review tasks for approvals for light users? The main issue I see with this workaround is that My Approvals in Home doesn't show due dates or bucket approvals by due today, past due, etc. which is critical for our heavy users who may have 10+ approvals in their queue if we moved review tasks to approvals. We could pull a report to show due dates, but then users wouldn't have the decision buttons in the same location as the due dates and we need the process to be as streamlined and straightforward as possibleIf you have other workarounds for having light users complete tasks/approvals, please let me know.  Background:We're trying to find solutions to the high cost of the new Workfront license structure for standard licenses since the majority of our roughly 100 users have worker licenses to mark done with their part on tasks with only 3 PMs. We were told our costs would roughly triple if we have the majority of our users move from worker lice

I am trying to create group statuses that manage various parts of a project, but the system will not let me hide anything that is listed as default (nothing mandatory) and I am baffled.  I keep getting an error message saying "whoops! Something went wrong. Please contact Workfront so we can figure out what went wrong and fix it" Help! Thanks, Beth@kelliegardner

Since the recent Workfront update, my view for Workload Balancer has changed and there is new "BDG" column (which in my case is showing 0 for every role). Where can I find information on what this number is and how to input values so the data displayed is actually useful to me? Right now, the information I was getting from that view (to see variance between planned and available hours) is no longer showing up.

Hi All, I'm following up on an issue I've been facing. One of the users is currently on an extended leave, and I've been continuously trying to get their responses to move forward. Is there an out-of-office notification option in our Workfront system that can alert users when they're being tagged? That could help manage expectations and keep things moving during their absence. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions on how to best handle this situation. Regards,Vino 

As a Workfront admin and consultant, I've lost count of how many times I've had to explain the intricacies of Task Constraints and how each one behaves in Workfront. Chances are, so have you. Over the years, I've made a few attempts to create a task view that can coach users on which date-related fields they should edit to get predictable results in their task dates.  Those attempts were inevitably not always correct due to the number of variables that can impact task scheduling. Last week I was asked to produce yet another lesson on task scheduling for a new group. I decided one more time to again try making my "dream view." This time, I did not give up. I think it paid off, and personally am really happy with the results. Knowing it can be a challenge in every instance, I've decided to share it here in hopes that it will help some of you with your own user support.   The view includes Predecessor, Start, Duration, End, and Task Constraint columns that each use conditional
