Build better products with our product team
Some of our reports need to be filtered to only show data from members who belong to a certain Team. Only Home Team is available as a filter in reporting, so, in order for a person's data to display on a report, we have to make sure we remember to make their Home Team match the filter on the Report. This works OK, but it means that if a person belongs to more than 1 team, they can only show up on 1 report that is filtered by Home Team. If we could select Other Teams as a filter on a report, then we wouldn't have to remember to make the report filter match their home team, and we could also have the person appear on all of the reports that are filtered by Team.
Our project managers would benefit if they could have a calendar view of the approved documents, with the preview of the material based on a publish date and time. The user could easily view what material should be published on which date and time planned.
Description - It's great that Microsoft documents like Word, PPT, etc. are supported by Workfront's Proofing tool. We have used this tool with MS products for roughly 10 years. However, Google Documents like Docs and Slides are not supported with the proofing tool. What this means is when someone includes a Google Doc in their Workfront request/issue, it cannot be converted to a proof by Workfront. This allows for the document to continually be revised without knowledge from those using Workfront or going back to review a document later. Why is this feature important - As a financial institution using Workfront as a marketing request queue and compliance approval workflow, it's extremely important that the Google Document being added to Workfront does not change while the various teams are reviewing and providing their approvals. Often our reviewing teams will reject and/or provide edits to a client using the proofing tool which allows marketing the opportunity to completely overhaul the document or simply make small edits. It depends on the feedback given from the reviewing team. Once approved, we need the proofing tool to freeze that document in time so that regardless of what the document owner is doing in Google Docs, it is clearly documented what was approved by compliance. This matters when government regulators come in to audit various marketing campaigns and assets. Up until this point, we have used Microsoft products which are all supported by the proofing tool. Google is not, and our entire organization has transitioned to using the Google suite of products.Current Behaviour and workaround - What this means is that we have to institute a cumbersome work around until this is working for Google Docs. Our teams will have to download their Google document as a pdf then upload it to Workfront so that the proofing tool can function as intended. This is not sustainable over time.We need Workfront's proofing tool to support Google documents.
the pre-defined date ranges as well as own date ranges are always relative to the current date. scenarioi want a table with visits for each month with to cols: first is value of visitors of current month, 2nd is the change to the previous month.solutioni need a date range which is truly "last month" compared to the month item in a table. this way i could just add two cols to the table, 1st only visits, 2nd visits and time range
When I'm running a report in Analysis Workspace (dimensions as rows and metrics as columns), is it possible to copy ONLY the dimension of a table, and not the entire row? It seems I can select individual metric values, but not individual dimension values.I'm constantly having to delete the tab and metric values when pasting into other contexts. For example:Copying URLs into the browser's address bar - I always end up pulling the trigger before "cleaning up" my paste and generating 404s this wayCopying campaign IDs and pasting into a third party toolCopying individual values and pasting into a dimension filter to narrow in on some data..and so on. I don't JUST copy to paste into Excel, since I do a lot of integration work, investigation into outlier data, and bespoke analysis.
I'm new to Adobe Analytics, currently migrating from Webtrends.Only very few things work better in Webtrends than in Adobe.But the one feature that have surprised me most, not being available in Adobe is the option to Create a Dimension.In Workspace i can create a metric, a segment and a date range. But not a dimension - something i would see as one of the most essential thing.My idea is to add a feature where i can create a dimension, in the same way as i would create a segment or a Metric.It would work in the exact same way as when i'm creating a segment.I select "+ New" and select "Create Dimension".I then select a other Dimension, as the basic for the new one, and add it to the definitionA new Dimension will in most cases be a subset of a existing Dimension.So in the most simple solution i would do a condition on the dimension it self, and that it.But it can also be a case where i want to define the sub-set on the relation to a other dimension or metric,A basic example below - it's essential a segment on a dimension, but where i can use it as a new dimension, and see the values form the original dimension. This is something i have been used to do in Webtrends. I know the same can be done with Dimensions and Segments, but it would be better with a option to create Dimensions.I't seems like the entire UI is in place for this, so i assume it is a technical limitations that prevent this from being made.But i hope it's on the roadmap.
Description - Enable a module that can call another scenario directlyWhy is this feature important to you - This would enable a more modular design of our workflow by having common functionality in one scenario that can be called by other scenarios without having to duplicate the functionality across all of the scenarios.How would you like the feature to work - A simple module that provides the input of the scenario name to call and the inputs to pass.Current Behaviour - Have to code custom webhooks to call scenarios
Description - VEC's Custom code sections allows Adobe Target users to add HTML code to amend the web experiences. However, it lacks integration with Offers library which means users have to copy-paste similar code multiple times. Why is this feature important to you - This feature brings reusability and reduces chances of error while copy-pasting the code. Seasoned JavaScript developers may provide the templatised code and marketers may refer to it to save time and avoid errors. We use many templates and having this feature will help in accelerating adoption of personalisation. How would you like the feature to work - Similar to Form based composer, there should be an option to select existing offers from the Offers library Current Behaviour - There's no option to use existing Offers library in the VEC unless we copy-paste. However similar functionality is available in Form based composer. Regards Rajneesh
Description - Customize labels of the report prompts and charts Why is this feature important to you - Currently the prompts and chart fields are showing labels that are defined by the system and do not mean anything to the user seeing them on the reports. Having the ability to add custom labels (like they are defined in the view of the reports) would make reports more meaningful to the users viewing them. How would you like the feature to work - It would be great to have the option to define custom labels for the prompts and fields that show on charts (some of which are already customized through View in the report). Current Behaviour - Currently the prompts and charts are showing labels that are defined by the system and do not mean anything to the user seeing them on the reports.
How would you like the feature to work - Ability to get announcement screenshots/files attached to the email as people don’t realise they are there as they see no attachments in the announcement email they receive.Current Behaviour - Currently, the email announcement does not attach the attachment in the email and users are required to navigate the Workfront Announcement page to view the attachment.
Description & Why is this feature important to you - We are currently unable to standardise and manage the user's email event Daily and Instant notifications correctly. (Example: we do not require Daily Digest notification for all users as it is repetitive, we do not have an option to manage these unless manually update users to disable it). Even if we enable the Event Notification at the Global (setup) or group level, it still does not enable/disable the email Daily or Instant notifications correctly. As Workfront mentioned they have preset these Daily and Instant notifications to the Most Desirable User Experience. How would you like the feature to work - As part of an Enterprise Solution, we would expect it to be allowed to: Option to Manage (Enable or Disable) users' Daily Digest Notification and Instant Notification at the Global Preference (Setup) area or Group Level. Current Behaviour - Currently, we can only manage the instant and daily notifications by editing the user's account. We have 10000+ users in our instance and wouldn't want to manually every time as Bulk updating users (manual intervention) is not a proper way to manage these as always human errors. FYI: Event if we enable the Event Notification at the Global (setup) or group level, it does not automatically enable the instant or daily notification! Workfront mentioned they have defined this notification "Based on user feedback previously, we found that having these defaulted the way they are generated the most desirable user experience." As per the product team feedback."
Description - Currently if a user sorts the task list by something other than task number, the tools for indenting/outdenting and adding tasks above/below the line become inaccessible. Instead of making them inaccessible, show those tools and pop up error messages telling the user the task list needs to be sorted by task number to use this feature and give them a button to immediately resort their task list by task number to proceed. Why is this feature important to you - Users are constantly sorting their list by another column, not realizing this, and then getting extremely frustrated when they cannot find the indent/outdent and add task above/below tools. I have users run into this issue pretty consistently. How would you like the feature to work - It would be a more user friendly approach to instead show the user the tools and tell them that they can't use them without re-sorting their task list by task number. It would be even better if you could also give them the option to do that re-sort in the error pop up so they can proceed. Current Behaviour - The tools for indent/outdent and adding task above/below just disappear and cannot be found. They do not indicate why they disappeared or what step needs to be taken to fix the issue.
Template Layouts and creating Request Queues are not in Workfront audit log actions.How about providing an UI in workfront where system admins can add new audit log actions as per business requirements.
Description - Our team would like the ability to relate/link/associate issue/request to another request/issue. We currently have requests in our queues which are assigned to teams, but as some come through as issues and others requests, the teams are finding it difficult to see all requests in one view. Our team have a requirement to link requests so that ad-hoc work coming into our work queues can be grouped together, without creating a project.Why is this feature important to you - We had this feature with our previous in-house tool and it was a simple way of connecting queue requests so that teammates had visibility to related tasks/activity so it could be assigned to one person to action at the same time, makng the workflow more efficient.How would you like the feature to work - Requests process: create an additional field that enables a user to input a request ID that is associated with the new request. Ability to add at the point a request is raised or add in once submitted. Tickets could be related by ID's or tags. I have attached a screenshot as an example. Current Behaviour - There isn't currently a way to relate/link requests in this way.
Description - when right clicking on a table we're able to compare time periods. A percent change is provided. We'd like to see a volume change # in addition to % change. Why is this feature important to you - just percentages doesn't tell the whole storyHow would you like the feature to work - right click and when the period over period trend pops in, give us a number in the result in addition to %Current Behaviour - right click on table and when the trend pops in, we only see %
Is it possible to open the file formats supported in the comments / updates within Workfront so team members are also able to share excel, pdf, etc directly in a comment for reference? I am aware a current workaround would be to attach at the project or task level, but that takes the user out of the comment view adding on additional and unnecessary clicks.
Description – Have the ability to create sub status’s on requests and tasks.Why is this feature important to you – Currently you can create a status’s but we don’t want to create hundreds of status’s so if we could have a editable sub status. For example if we cancel a request we would like to be able to have a sub status of why it was cancelled ( Not a high priority, User no longer needs, etc) As then we can run reports off the status and sub status. As of now if we cancel a request, then six months from now we run a report the end users are like why was this request cancelled.Current Behavior – We can set up custom status’s, but then have to add a custom form with a custom field and the users have to go into the custom form and update that field.
Description - When a resource is scheduled off in the WF Calendar, but has a shared task , the Workload Balancer ignores the time off and allocates hours over PTO, showing overageWhy is this feature important to you - It looks as if work is being left unassigned and neglected while a resource is outHow would you like the feature to work - Would like the resource who's hours are allocating over time off to ignore those days and calculate the duration without their hours on those days.Current Behaviour - Allocates those hours over the entire duration, ignoring PTO, but only on SHARED tasks.
Description - I am totally thrilled about the new feature of being able to add external lookup fields to custom forms to call external APIs.I would love to be able to differ between the shown option, which comes from one JSON path (like $.data[*].name) and the value which is finally saved (like from $.data[*].id) as this is also possible using general dropdown fields.Why is this feature important to you - There often is a difference between the shown option and the value in behind on dropdown fields.How would you like the feature to work - similar to general dropdown fieldsCurrent Behaviour - only one JSON path possible
Description - As it stands, Adobe Data Feeds dropped their data as zipped TSV files. Header information is located in a separate location and must be joined to Hit Data files in order to get the column to header mapping. Why is this feature important to you - In the space of "big-data", Parquet is becoming universal format. Additionally, it seems unnecessary to have the "schema" abstracted from hit data files. How would you like the feature to work - In the option when creating a new data feed in the UI, Parquet should be an option. Even JSON format is acceptable. Current Behaviour - Only TSV is offered and columnar information is stored in a different file
As a larger share of internet traffic shifts towards IPv6 addresses it is crucial that Adobe supports modern data collection methods.This issue was raised nearly three years ago and in that time it appears the documentation has consistently referenced "Adobe plans to support IPv6 addresses in the future. However, a target date has not been released yet".https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-analytics-questions/anyone-know-when-ipv6-will-be-supported-in-adobe-analytics/qaq-p/284903One specific use case is that many analytics customers integrate with mParticle. mParticle forwards the users IP address to Adobe Analytics, and as many as 60% of site visitors end up being allocated to mParticle's AWS server locations as the users forwarded IP address is a v6 format rather than v4.
Description - it would be great to have a row at the bottom of the Expenses page that totals up the costs.Why is this feature important to you - So I dont have to go to the Project summary to look at the totals.How would you like the feature to work - sum up the expenses and show at the bottom of the page or put a field at the top that sums up the totals.Current Behaviour - No total available on the Expenses Page
Scheduling option to activate triggers (can schedule expiration but not activation!) 'Fills out form' filter - badly need a 'time' constraint e.g fills out form between these time parameters For event channels we don't have 'recipient time zone' option but we do for email campaigns eg newsletters! its more important for events! Additional calendar file options than just ICS. Send all assets in one go to your email for testing. Rather than having to send individually!
General thought/feedback for Adobe Workfront-for L&C/proofing queues, I wish there was a box we could check that stated "make the same proof due at the same time and date for all steps" and automatically applied for each group Right now you have to manually set the dates instead of allowing them to all be the same. Tedious and time consuming.
It would be nice if I could set up different “levels” of aggregator functions / expressions. I have run into this problem a couple of times but especially when trying to get correct percentages but my example will be simple. I am trying to create a report to look at Users and their hours. User YTD Hours is a set number that will be the same in base row. (non grouping row)In the 1st grouping, I need the aggregator to MAX so I can see the correct number of hours for the Owner.In the 2nd grouping, I need the aggregator to SUM so I can see the correct number of hours that total for two of the Owners.In the 3rd grouping, I need to the aggregator to SUM again so I can see the total number of hours on a company level. My Idea: Set them up like the groupings. Make the last aggregator function the same for the next groupings if no more is needed or written in.Example:aggregator.0.function=MAXaggregator.0.valuefield=aggregator.0.valueformat=aggregator.1.function=SUMaggregator.1.valuefield=aggregator.1.valueformat=aggregator.2.function=SUMaggregator.2.valuefield= (Since this would be the same as previous aggregator function, it would not need to be written)aggregator.2.valueformat=
