Create and manage a request form in Adobe Workfront Planning

Click the Main Menu icon in the upper-right corner of Adobe Workfront, or (if available), click the Main Menu icon in the upper-left corner, then click Planning.

The Workfront Planning landing page opens.

(Optional and conditional) If you are a Workfront administrator, click one of the following tabs:

• My workspaces: Displays workspaces you created.
• Other workspaces: Displays all workspaces in Workfront Planning, including the ones shared with you.

For all other users, all workspaces you created or are shared with you display in the Workspaces area.

Click the workspace where you want to add records.

The workspace opens and the record types display as cards.

Click a record type card. For information about creating a record type, see Create record types.

The record type page opens in the view that you last accessed. By default, a record type page opens in the table view.

Click the More menu to the right of the record type name in the page header, then click Create request form.

Update the name of the request form. By default, the name of the form is Untitled request form.

(Optional) Add a Description for the request form.

Click Create. The request form for the selected record type opens.

The request form contains the following information, by default:

• Record fields available in the table view of the selected record type.

• Default section: This is the default section break that Workfront applies to the request form. The Default section cannot be renamed or removed.

• Subject field: The field which will identify the request in Workfront. This capability is not yet available. The configuration and the value of the Subject field are not editable.

• All the fields associated with the record type.

  The fields contained in the request form will be visible to everyone submitting a request to this record type.

(Optional) Hover over any fields on the form that you want to remove, then click the x icon to remove them. They are added to the Fields tab to the left of the form.

For example, remove the Subject field, as this is not visible in Workfront Planning.

Click any field, then use the controls in the right panel in the form to define their size, or any of the following information:

• Label: This is the name of the field as it will appear on the request form. This does not change the name of the record field.
• Instructions: Add more information about the field.
• Make a required field: When selected, the field must have a value. Otherwise, the form cannot be submitted.
• Add logic: Define what conditions must be met in order for the field to display or be hidden.

(Optional) Click the Content elements tab on the left side of the form, and add any of the following elements:

• Descriptive text
• Section Break
