Welcome to the Workfront-Text-Mode wiki!

Adobe Workfront Text Mode Repository

This repository is intended to store text mode (reports) and formulas (calculated fields) for users of Adobe Workfront. Add your favorites below!


Display an Image in a Report

displayname=Link Project
image.name=Link Project
image.valuefield=URL
link.linkproperty.0.name=projectID
link.linkproperty.0.value=ID
link.lookup=link.edit
link.page=/view
link.valuefield=objCode
link.valueformat=val
textmode=true
type=image
valueformat=

Note

Insert the URL for the image into the URL field in the project details, then use the above code to replace a column in text mode. Any image linked via the URL in the project details will show up in the column. Images appear in their actual resolution so try to use small images! This example is for projects, but applies to any object with a URL in the system details. https://github.com/Mac-Cl0ud/Workfront-Text-Mode/blob/main/display_image_in_report
