Key takeaways

  • Purpose of Groupings: Groupings are a key reporting element in Workfront that organize project lists based on shared information, such as completion dates, portfolios, or programs. ​
  • Creating Groupings: You can create custom groupings with up to three levels of criteria. ​ For example, projects can be grouped first by portfolio and then by program for better organization. ​
  • Editing and Saving Groupings: Built-in groupings cannot be overwritten, but you can save edits as a new grouping. ​ Custom groupings should have clear, descriptive names for easy identification. ​
  • Sharing Groupings: Groupings can be shared with other users, with default “view” permissions allowing them to use and share the grouping but not edit it. “​Manage” permissions allow editing and deletion. ​
  • Removing Groupings: Deleting a grouping you created will also remove it from the lists of users you shared it with. ​ Shared groupings appear under the “Shared with Me” section for other users. ​

“Create a basic grouping” activities

Activity 1: Create a basic grouping

Create an issue grouping that will be used in a report to track requests that come through a request queue. This grouping will make it easy to see similar types of issues/requests grouped by their priority. Name the grouping “Request Queue, Queue Topic, Priority.”

Group the issue report based on:

  1. The name of the request queue (this will be the project name)
  2. The queue topic
  3. The priority of the request
