You will first need to enable the Workfront connector in your studio here.

After enabling the connector, you will be able to sync Creative Force deliverables to Workfront Projects.

In order to connect a deliverable, you will need to go to the deliverable detail view. You can do this via the Deliverable drop down menu and then click View on the selected deliverable.

Or you can access the deliverable via the project menu.

Clicking on the CONNECT PROJECT button allows you to then input your project URL.

After the connection is successful, Creative Force will then build and maintain a structure of tasks and subtasks in Workfront with information and status. As tasks are updated in Creative Force, progress is then tracked in Workfront.

Note:

  • One Workfront project can have multiple Editorial projects but one Editorial project can connect to only one Workfront project.

  • After the connection is successful, CF will then build and maintain a structure of tasks and subtasks in Workfront with information and status. When an Editorial project is connected to a Workfront project CF will:

    • create a Photo Studio task on the project, using the “Photo studio task name” in the setting.

      • Under this task, create a hierarchy of subtasks: Editorial Projects using the ‘Editorial task name’ in the settings -> Project Name 1 -> Deliverable Name.. etc

We suggest that you do not create a task or sub-tasks within the task tree that is created by Creative Force when a job and project are linked. Which means one product in CF and can only have one task in Workfront. In the case that link is removed at a later date, Creative Force will remove the tasks it has created and any sub-tasks, whether they are automatically or manually made.
