32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Access level vs sharing
- An access level grants a user's overall capability, while object sharing grants permission to a specific item; both are required for an action.
- Custom status mapping
- A custom status must be mapped to a default status category such as Current, Complete, or Dead; the category controls reporting and workflow behavior.
- Layout template
- A layout template defines tabs, left navigation, landing page, and custom field visibility for assigned users, groups, teams, or job roles.
- Request queue routing rule
- An ordered rule in a request queue that assigns a submitted issue to a user, job role, team, or project when its criteria match.
- Group administrator
- A group administrator manages members, statuses, approval processes, layout templates, and project preferences for a group and its subgroups without full system admin rights.
- Kick-Start
- A Workfront Excel-based import/export tool used for bulk configuration of supported objects; it is not intended for transactional data or unsupported object types.
- Custom form attachment
- A custom form is object-specific and can be attached to supported objects such as projects, tasks, issues, users, and companies; multiple forms can attach to one object.
- Calculated custom field
- A field that uses Workfront expression syntax, such as IF, CONCAT, or DATEDIFF, to derive a value from other fields on the same object.
- Display logic
- A custom form rule that shows or hides a field or section when earlier responses in the same form meet specified conditions.
- DE prefix
- In reports and the API, a custom field is referenced with DE: followed by its label or field name, for example DE:Cost Center.
- Reference field
- A custom field type that stores a link to another Workfront object, such as a user or project, rather than free text.
- Text mode valueexpression
- A calculated column or grouping expression in a report's text mode; it computes a value from fields and must be paired with valueformat when formatting is needed.
- Wildcard filter
- A dynamic report filter value such as $$USER.ID or $$TODAY that resolves at run time based on the viewing user or current date.
- Report prompt
- A run-time filter input that lets viewers choose values; prompts can be required or optional and can support single or multiple selections.
- Matrix report
- A report that cross-tabulates data using one grouping for rows and another for columns; both row and column groupings are required.
- Dashboard report limit
- A dashboard can contain up to 25 reports across a one-, two-, or three-column layout; report and dashboard sharing both control visibility.
- Approval stage
- A sequential step in an approval process that contains one or more approvers and can include a deadline and reminder notifications.
- Request queue topic
- A selectable category in a request queue that helps route submissions; a queue needs queue details, topics, and routing rules to function.
- Predecessor lag
- The waiting time added to a task dependency, expressed in days or hours, that delays the successor beyond the predecessor relationship.
- Duration type
- A task setting that determines whether duration, work, or assignment count drives scheduling; options include Simple, Calculated Assignment, Calculated Work, and Effort Driven.
- Proof approver role
- A proof workflow role whose decision affects the proof's overall approval status; reviewers and viewers can comment but do not control the outcome.
- REST API base path
- Workfront REST calls use https://<domain>.myworkfront.com/attask/api/v<version>/ followed by an object endpoint such as project or task.
- API fields parameter
- The fields= query parameter limits which object attributes an API response returns, reducing payload size and avoiding unnecessary data exposure.
- OAuth2 connection
- An authorization method for integrations that acts on behalf of a user or client; it is preferred over API keys for multi-user and long-lived integrations.
- Fusion webhook
- A Workfront event trigger that sends an HTTP request to a Fusion scenario, starting the scenario when a matching object event occurs.
- Event subscription
- A Workfront API feature that pushes create, update, or delete events to a receiver URL; the receiver must acknowledge with a 2xx response.
- License type
- A user's Plan, Work, Review, or Request license sets the maximum feature capability; the access level then narrows what the user can do.
- Manage permission
- The highest standard object sharing level; it includes view, add, edit, delete, and share capabilities, subject to the user's access level.
- Contribute permission
- An object sharing level that allows viewing, adding, and editing content but does not include deleting the object or changing its sharing.
- Home group
- The group assigned as a user's primary administrative home; it influences default sharing, group statuses, and group-level preferences.
- Inherited permissions
- Object permissions passed down from a parent, such as a project to its tasks; they combine with direct sharing and the highest permission applies.
- Deactivated user
- A user account that can no longer log in but retains history and object ownership; deleting instead requires reassigning owned objects.
