Access the Project Gantt Chart from the Updates Tab

NOTE
This functionality has been temporarily removed from the Preview environment.

You can now access the new project Gantt chart from the Updates tab. When a user changes the Commit Date of a task in a way that affects the project timeline, you can view the impact in the project Gantt chart.

Prior to this change, the Project Timeline link opened the Legacy Gantt Chart.

For more information, see Commit Date overview.

For more information, see Portfolio Optimizer overview.

In the 18.1 release, various links were removed from documents on the document list and moved to other areas of the interface (some as a button next to the document name and some in a drop-down menu on the button). The following links are being re-introduced below the document name with this release, and are now available on individual documents within the document list:

  • Generate Proof (available when a proof is not yet generated)
  • Open Proof (available when a proof is generated)
  • Document Details (available when a proof is not yet generated)
  • Proof Details (available when a proof is generated)
  • Print Summary

The following actions are not being re-introduced as links on the document within the document list:

  • Share (still available as a button in the menu)
  • Check Out / Check In (still available in the More drop-down menu in the menu)

User View Improvements in the Resource Planner

The User View of the Resource Planner now contains the following improvements:

  • The User View is now the default view, replacing the Project View.

  • Improved filters which pull information from the entire database, rather than just the information on the screen.

  • Full-screen mode.

  • Performance is now faster and more efficient.

    • New limits for the number of users, projects, roles, and tasks you can display.
    • Lazy loading, for faster loading of users.

The following functionality has been temporarily disabled in the Resource Planner:

  • Exporting the data from the Resource Planner when using the User View.

Prior to these improvements, you have reported that the Resource Planner was slow to load and that you had noticed incongruences in the data displayed. With these improvements, these should now be eliminated.

For more information about the areas of the Resource Planner, see Resource Planner navigation overview.

New Project List Experience

A new experience is now available when viewing a list of projects. This experience includes increased performance and smoother and faster list navigation. Only the lists in the Projects tab of the Projects area of Workfront have been updated to this new experience.

For the most part, the changes are in the speed and efficiency of the list. The following visible changes have also been introduced:

  • The list displays up to 2,000 items by default.

    Prior to this enhancement, the list displayed 100 items.

  • Groupings are collapsed by default.

    Prior to this change, groupings were expanded by default.

  • The area for selecting a row has expanded to the entire row.

The following features have been temporarily disabled in the specified lists of projects:

  • Column resizing (This functionality was reintroduced in the 2018.2 Beta 5 release)
  • Column reordering
  • Status icon fields display as blank (This functionality was reintroduced in the 2018.2 Beta 5 release)
  • The Gantt chart is not accessible (This functionality was reintroduced in the 2018.2 Beta 3 release.)

For more information about working in lists, see Get started with lists in Adobe Workfront.

New Look for Updates Tab

NOTE
For some users, the new Updates tab might not display in the Preview environment. Our development team is currently troubleshooting the issue and working to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

The look and feel of the Updates tab has changed to be more aligned with other areas of the interface. This change applies to projects, tasks, issues, and documents.

The following table shows the updates made to the Updates tab:
