Workfront WDC

A Tableau Web Data Connector for Workfront

Running version of the Workfront Tableau Web Data Connector is also available here: https://workfront-web-data-connector.herokuapp.com/

Usage

The WDC currently support 3 Workfront objects (i.e. project, issue and task) linked to a given project (i.e. project id).

For a detailed list of which fields get pulled by default, please consult the extensive Workfront API documentation.

Any fields not listed in the documentation are user created and will need to be manually added in the textarea. To find the unique name of a given custom field, navigate to any form in Workfront that contains the field in question and use developer tools to retrieve the 'name' attribute from the HTML element. Next, separate the name of the field and the type (i.e. string, int, float, boolean) with a pipe character (|).

DE:Custom Description|string
DE:Added Value|int
DE:Is Custom Field|boolean
DE:Amount|float
