Worker pools
A worker pool is a quantity of Workfront Fusion processing resources dedicated to a specific organization. All Fusion operations and processing happen within the context of an organization’s assigned worker pool.
Worker pools allow your scenarios to run more efficiently, and eliminate the chances of competing with other organizations for Fusion processing capacity.

Worker pool overview
A worker pool is a way to process scenario executions in parallel. Each worker pool is associated with:
- A number of workers.
- An execution queue.
When a scenario is executed, it passes into the worker pool’s execution queue. Workers in the pool continuously pull tasks from the execution pool and process them in parallel.
If the execution queue depth increases, and all existing workers are being used, Workfront Fusion automatically scales the pool by adding more workers. This scaling is dynamic and event-driven, meaning capacity exacts or contracts based on real-time load without action from your or your organization.
The Workfront Fusion team continuously monitors utilization and scaling behavior of pools, and can review thresholds or patterns to ensure consistent performance as usage grows.
Rename a worker pool
Organization owners and admins can rename the worker pools assigned to their organization. Each pool shows a system-generated name by default. You can give a pool a custom name, such as Marketing EU or High-volume integrations, and change it whenever you need to.
Renaming a pool changes only how it is labeled. Scenarios, executions, and pool capacity are not affected. The new name appears wherever the pool is shown, such as when you assign scenarios to a pool.
To rename a worker pool:
-
In the left navigation, click Org overview
-
Click the Worker pools tab, near the top of the page.
The tab lists each pool and shows how many scenarios are assigned to it.
-
Click Rename next to the pool that you want to rename.
-
In the panel that opens, enter the new name.
-
Click Save.
