Packages

TIP: We invite you to learn about this solution below, and once you are ready, to then proceed here.

Our Packages solution enables you to efficiently select a set of related Workfront objects and/or data from one environment, save them, and then deploy them to another environment.

To use it…

Log in to your Source Workfront environment (e.g. your sandbox), then create or modify whatever objects (e.g. Dashboards, Reports, Views, etc.) and data (e.g. Projects, Tasks, Issues, etc.) you need to support a particular new Workflow. When you are ready, contact us to enable Packages for the desired day (or week, or month, or year).

As per the screenshot below, you can then use our Package solution to:

• Login to your Source environment
• Create a new Package
• Associate the Package to your User
• Select the Package Contents
• Save the Package
• Logout
• Login to your Target environment
• Test the Deploy
• Run the Deploy

Each Package can also be “shelved” until needed – even after Sandbox has been refreshed and those related objects and/or data have been overwritten in Sandbox – and then deployed (e.g. back into Sandbox to keep refining and repackaging them, and/or into Production once you are ready).

Packages saves an incredible amount of rework, and is particularly valuable for Workfront customers seeking a more efficient and controlled manner to manage migration between federated environments (e.g. Test > User Acceptance > Production).
