As an Adobe Workfront administrator or a group administrator, you can use a layout template to configure the options users see when they open the Main Menu in Workfront.

Main Menu options

NOTE

The Main Menu options that users see depend on their license type and what settings are configured in their access level. Some users who will use this layout template may not see all the options you choose here. For more information see How access levels and permissions work together and Configurable access to functionality for each object type.

You might see different options in the Main Menu if your organization has been onboarded on the Adobe Workfront Unified Experience. For information, see Adobe Unified Experience for Workfront.

For information about creating layout templates, see Create and manage layout templates.

For information about layout templates for groups, see Create and modify a group’s layout templates.

After configuring a layout template, you must assign it to users for changes you made to be visible to others. For information about assigning a layout template to users, see Assign users to a layout template.
