Prerequisites

Connecting the Office 365 Excel service to Workfront Fusion

For instructions about connecting your Office 365 Excel account to Workfront Fusion, see Create a connection to Adobe Workfront Fusion - Basic instructions

NOTE

Some Microsoft apps use the same connection, which is tied to individual user permissions. Therefore, when creating a connection, the permissions consent screen displays any permissions that were previously granted to this user’s connection, in addition to any new permissions needed for the current application.

For example, if a user has “Read table” permissions granted via the Excel connector and then creates a connection in the Outlook connector to read emails, the permissions consent screen will show both the already granted “Read table” permission and the newly required “Write email” permission.

Microsoft Office 365 Excel modules and their fields

When you configure Microsoft 365 Excel modules, Workfront Fusion displays the fields listed below. Along with these, additional Microsoft 365 Excel fields might display, depending on factors such as your access level in the app or service. A bolded title in a module indicates a required field.

If you see the map button above a field or function, you can use it to set variables and functions for that field. For more information, see Map information from one module to another in Adobe Workfront Fusion.
