Question

Pulling "topic group" into a report

Hello. I am setting up a request queue that has 2 topic groups with the same named "queue topics" in each topic group. For example, the topic groups are Strategy and Media. Within the Strategy topic group we have Client 1, Client 2, Client 3, etc. as queue topics, and we have those same queue topics of Client 1, Client 2, Client 3, etc. within the Digital Media topic group. I'm setting up a report to show submissions to the request queue and really need to show both the Topic Group and the Queue Topic to differentiate between the 2 types of requests. However, I can't seem to get the Topic Group to pull into the report, even though this article >https://experience.workfront.com/s/article/Understanding-Objects-300220110 says you can report on the "topic group" object when using the report builder in the Workfront web application. I don't mind pulling it in using text mode but have not been able to get that to work either when I tried to use some older suggestions, such as queueTopic:parentTopicGroup:name. Nothing displays when I try that. Does anyone know how to get the Topic Group into an issue report? Thank you! Rani Rani Paul One & All

That did it, thank you so much, Narayan! I really appreciate the super quick response. I'll take a look at the catalog you provided as well. That should be very helpful. Thanks again, Rani Rani Paul One &All

Hi Rani, I'd like you to have a look at the "https://wf-pro.com/textmode/api/">WFPro Text Mode catalog, where you'll find various examples that will give you an idea of the syntax for different views. In your case, you'll want to use the following in your column to jump up one level and grab the topic group name: valuefield=queueTopic:parentTopicGroup:name valueformat=HTML displayname=Parent Topic Group Regards, Narayan
