This article refers to functionality in the standalone product Workfront Proof. For information on proofing inside Adobe Workfront, see Proofing.
Proof progress indicates the work done on a proof from the time you send the proof to reviewers to the time they make a decision on the proof.
The progress icons, S, O, C, and D, appear in the progress bar indicate proof progress.
They indicate the following information about a proof:
Progress Icon |
Description |
|
Sent. The proof has been sent to reviewers. |
|
Opened. A reviewer has opened the Proof details page or opened the proof itself in the proofing viewer. |
|
Comments. Reviewers (users who can make comments) have made comments have been made on the proof. If no reviewers are designated for the proof, this icon does not display. |
|
Decision. A reviewer has made a decision on the proof. If no approvers (decision makers) are designated for the proof, this icon does not display. |
These icons can appear in the following colors to indicate certain information about the proof’s progress:
Workfront Proof uses the progress icons to track a proof’s progress at each of the following levels:
For an example of how Workfront Proof determines progress using the reviewer or stage that is most behind, suppose three reviewers on a proof need to make a decision. If two of them have made their decision but the third has not, the progress bar for the proof does not show the D in green because of the outstanding decision.
If the Primary Decision Maker setting is selected on a proof and the primary decision maker submits a decision, the D in the proof progress bar turns green for all reviewers because no other decisions are required.
Similarly, if the Only One Decision Required setting is selected on a proof and any reviewer submits a decision, the D in the proof progress bar turns green for all reviewers because no other decisions are required.
The proof status displays the status of decisions that are required for the proof.
The standard status options are:
If custom decisions are configured in your account, the status options reflect your custom decision settings.
The status of the proof is driven by the “worst case” participant. For example, suppose there are three decisions on the proof: two have the status of Accepted and one has the status of Rejected. The “worst case” decision of Rejected over-rules the other decisions and the overall status of the proof is shown as Rejected.
You can view progress and status for proofs, stages, and reviewers on each stage.
Each proof in the folder has an expandable summary that lets you quickly view and edit the details of the proof.
To expand or collapse the summary:
The summary includes the following:
In the summary, you can view and edit the following details of your proof:
Proof progress (1)
Progress of each stage (2)
Deadline set for the stage (3)
Reviewer details:
Your ability to edit the proof details depends on youryour rights on the proof (see Proof Permissions Profiles in Workfront Proof and Manage Proof Roles in Workfront Proof).
Every stage of your workflow has a separate menu, allowing you to perform bulk actions related to the reviewers in that stage.
The Stage actions menu appears when you hover over the Stage section (1) and allows you to
The availability of these options depends on your rights on the proof (see Proof Permissions Profiles in Workfront Proof and Manage Proof Roles in Workfront Proof).
In the Summary section, you can also access the reviewer actions menus, provided you have edit rights on the proof. For more information, see Proof Permissions Profiles in Workfront Proof and Manage Proof Roles in Workfront Proof. The Reviewer actions menu (1) appears when you hover over the Reviewer’s details and allows you to:
The visibility of these options depends on your rights on the proof (see Proof Permissions Profiles in Workfront Proof and Manage Proof Roles in Workfront Proof).
Each proof also has a menu (1) that allows you to perform the below actions:
The availability of these options depends on your rights on the proof (see Proof Permissions Profiles in Workfront Proof and Manage Proof Roles in Workfront Proof).
