What is the recommended approach for tracking campaign deliverables in Workfront?

Question

Options

• AUse custom forms with predefined fields
• BManually update each task status
• CCreate a separate project for each deliverable
• DUse a financial tracking dashboard

• A
  74% (25)
• B
  18% (6)
• C
  6% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Using custom forms with predefined fields (A) is Workfront's built-in mechanism for standardizing how campaign data is captured and tracked across tasks and projects - custom forms attach structured, reusable fields directly to work items, ensuring consistent data collection without manual overhead.

Why the distractors fail:

• B (Manual status updates) introduces human error and inconsistency at scale - Workfront's value is automation and structure, not manual entry.
• C (Separate project per deliverable) creates unnecessary fragmentation, making cross-deliverable reporting and resource management far harder than needed.
• D (Financial tracking dashboard) is a reporting/visibility tool, not a data-capture mechanism - it displays data but doesn't track deliverables.

Memory tip: Think of custom forms as the "intake form" taped to a campaign folder - everyone fills out the same fields, so nothing gets missed and reporting stays clean. If it standardizes input, it's a custom form.
