Edit Fields Directly from the Home Area

Now when you select an object in the Home area, you can edit fields associated with that object directly from the right panel of the Home area.

Prior to this change, information could only be viewed in the Home area, not edited.

For more information, see the Update or edit a work item in the Home area in the article  Update or edit a work item in the Home area.

Log Time in Days

Workfront administrators can now configure whether users in their organization log time in days or hours. Users with a Planner license can configure this setting for themselves.

Prior to this change, users could log time only in hours.

You can configure this setting by editing the user profile. For more information, see Configure whether time is logged in hours or days.

For information about how users can log time in days after this setting has been updated, see Log time.

View Cross-Project Predecessor Relationships on the Gantt Chart in a List of Projects

You can now view cross-project predecessor relationships on the Gantt chart in the following lists of projects:

  • The Projects tab inside a portfolio or program
  • In a Project Report

Prior to this change, you could view cross-project predecessor relationships only for individual tasks at the project level.

For more information, see Configure how information displays on the Gantt Chart.

Use Budgeted Cost in the Portfolio Optimizer to Calculate Portfolio Finances

The new Portfolio Optimizer now uses the Budgeted Cost from the new Resource Budgeting area of the Business Case or from the Resource Planner to calculate the following fields:

  • Net Value
  • Return on Investment (ROI)
  • Cost

Previously, both the new and Legacy Portfolio Optimizer used the Legacy Budgeted Cost. The Legacy Portfolio Optimizer still uses the Legacy Budgeted Cost to calculate Net Value, Return on Investment, and Cost.

We have also added two new fields to the Portfolio Financial Fields: Legacy ROI and Legacy Net Value to capture the new values from the new resource management tools.

For more information, see Portfolio Optimizer overview in the article  Portfolio Optimizer overview.
