Customize the Details view using a layout template
As an ۶Ƶ Workfront administrator, you can use a layout template to determine what information appears when a user clicks the Details icon
You can also change the order of the information in which this information appears. For example, for all tasks that your users see, you can move Custom Forms information to the top of the Details view for all tasks that your users see.
For information about creating layout templates, see Create and manage layout templates.
For information about layout templates for groups, see Create and modify a group’s layout templates.
After configuring a layout template, you must assign it to users for changes you made to be visible to others. For information about assigning a layout template to users, see Assign users to a layout template.
The changes you make to the Details view for an object also determine the availability and order of fields that users see in the following areas:
-
“Create object” boxes, such as Create Task
-
“Edit object” screens when editing an object, such as Edit Task, Edit Issue, and Edit Project
-
“Edit objects” screens when editing objects in bulk. Currently this is supported for editing projects in bulk.
-
Summary panel
note note NOTE Changes to the layout templates affect the order and availability of fields in the Summary panel only for the tasks and issues that are assigned to the logged-in user. -
Conversion boxes, such as the Convert issue to task or Convert issue to project boxes.
For information about layout templates for groups, see Create and modify a group’s layout templates.
