About the default Adobe Workfront layout

The default layout is the arrangement of the Main Menu or the Main Menu , if available, the left panel, and the views, groupings, and filters before an Adobe Workfront administrator makes any changes using a layout template.

For information about how a Workfront administrator can modify a user’s default layout by assigning the user a layout template, see Assign users to a layout template.

NOTE
Users can change their own layout by editing their user profile preferences. For more information, see the Preferences section in Configure My Settings.

Default Main Menu items for each license type

Each user’s default layout depends on their license type. Some users might not see certain areas in the Main Menu or certain left panel items, depending on the license type that is assigned to them.

There are two types of licenses that your organization might assign:

  • New licenses
  • Current licenses

For more information, see Access requirements in Workfront documentation.
