Use Workfront Blueprints to Optimize Your Work Management Environment!

Since the launch of Blueprints in 2021, the solutions represented in the catalog have primarily all been focused on Project Templates. We are excited about recent developments in the Blueprints product capabilities that now allow the creation of Custom Forms, Reports and Dashboards, Projects and Queues, and a variety of other configuration objects. 

 

While Blueprints product features will continue to follow the normal quarterly release patterns that we rely on for other product features and capabilities, new Blueprints solutions will be added to the catalog on an on-going basis as new content is ready. This means that the normal communication channels for releases are not the best mechanism for us to highlight and announce new Blueprints solutions. 

 

The purpose of this blog post is to provide Adobe Workfront customers visibility into the catalog contents that are being released. As we release new content to the Preview environment, we will make an announcement as a reply to this post to inform interested customers that they can check it out. We expect that most content will be made available in Production approximately two weeks after it is available in the Preview environment. 

 

If you have feedback about Blueprints capabilities or about the solutions we are providing through the Blueprints, use the Feedback buttons available in the Blueprints area of Workfront instead of commenting here. We absolutely want to hear your input, especially regarding the solutions you would like to see in the catalog. 

 

For more information about Blueprints, see the documentation section of Experience League.
