Description - We would like to know when will you have Email Designer feature available in Adobe Campaign Classic and whether it’s on your roadmap. I see it’s there for Campaign Standard (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/campaign-standard/using/designing-content/designing-content-in-adobe-campaign.html?lang=en) but not Classic?Why is this feature important to you - We would like to utilize the drag and drop feature of email designer to easily design HTML content with intuitive interface and personalization options.How would you like the feature to work - To design email by using drag and drop feature and use content fragments or templates and also apply personalization logic via interface.Current Behaviour - With Classic we have to code HTML outside of the tool and then import in Adobe Campaign and then applying personalization logic.
For maintenance purposes we need the ability to generate a report that captures total number of times a report has been rendered and the last date accessed.
Allow the API to call up the results from reports built within WorkFront. Currently, the reporting tools that are developed by end users within Workfront are inaccessible to developers and the software they create. I've had to recreate several reports from scratch for the API to get the same set of data.
Happy Monday fellow Workfront superstars! Recently, I have been doing some archived reporting in my instance and running into trouble trying to collect the right data points across the various records.Therefore, I was thinking that it would be helpful if Workfront had a vlookup type function that could scan one or multiple reports to provide you with a check and balance.Why is this feature important to you - Workfront has done an incredible job allowing forms to be cross-object compatible. However, some times I recognize older issues/projects/tasks/etc. (pre a system enhancement) have a tougher time to navigate through and amalgamate what you are searching for.How would you like the feature to work - My thought would be to generate a report and type in a reference report link with a key search field identified (e.g. Project Name). Then Workfront would scan the reference report and return a field (in new report) that identifies if a record is present or not present in the reference report.Current Behaviour - I currently export different reports and use vlookup in Excel. I apologize if there is a much easier solution but thought I would share 🙂 All the Best,Colby
Description - Block WebSDK updates to the Target Recommendations Catalog done through console by running alloy script. Why is this feature important to you - For security reasons and avoid unauthenticated updating of contents on the page which could change the dynamics of the web page. How would you like the feature to work - A way to prevent the console updates from WebSDK from overriding the updates sent in through the API, block particular fields from WebSDK updates or block WebSDK updates entirely. Current Behavior - A malicious visitor could potentially run the same call but add a different content to it. This change will show up in their, and everyone else's, recommendation feed within a few minutes and will stay there until the next nightly script run. They do not require any special permissions or API keys (I tested this on my personal laptop in incognito mode). The potential for abuse is not only in defacing the website, but also in changing the URL's users are being redirected to when they click a recommendation in their feed.
Description - Similar to WorkFront's email function, we'd like to be able to directly message or alert Adobe Target users within our organization if we have an important update, change, or issue to communicate with them. The functionality would exist within Target - either being able to compose/send an email to all users (without having to manually esport a list of all users and compose the email in Outlook) or being able to have a pop up message appear when users log in.Why is this feature important to you - It's cumbersome to have to export a list of all users and import it into a manual email when we need to communicate with all enterprise Target users - especially when we know this capability is available within other Adobe products (e.g., WorkFront).How would you like the feature to work - The functionality would exist within Target - either being able to compose/send an email to all users (without having to manually esport a list of all users and compose the email in Outlook) or being able to have a pop up message appear when users log in.Current Behaviour - As mentioned above, we must manually export a list of all Adobe Target users and compose the message in our email program.
Description -Currently in order to use zip codes for audience creation you must enter each zip code on its own line in the Target interface. It would be a time saving feature if you could upload a CSV of zip codes rather than having to enter each zip code on its own line.
We are trying to tidy up our Recommendations catalog - there are a lot of old Collections that we would like to delete, but we are unable to as they are still being referenced by old activities. It's starting to slow down our productivity and as many Collections have similar names it's difficult to see which should/shouldn't be used. Ideally, when you open a Collection, it would be good to be able to see the activit(ies) are using/referencing that collection.
Hi there,Please can you dedicate some resources to Agile? The functionality is buggy, inconsistent, and user flows lack behind free alternatives like Trello or Microsoft Planner.Right now, my personal journey has been approx 18 months trying to implement Agile well within workfront, specifically with a large number of calls and threads to WF support staff in the past 3 months. A typical response to my bugs flagged and suggestions have been "we're just not really setup for agile here" or "here's a really complicated workaround" that, when I've tried to implement, I've struggled to get my team to understand and implement - something that should be simple and intuitive needs 10 clicks between multiple pages and reports to function.If Workfront can replicate something like Trello, with the back end powerhouse of the WF platform that exists already, you'd be in an extremely strong position in the enormous, and growing, agile space. Right now, Agile functionality isn't there (apologies), so this doesn't get much attention.Here are some specifics that I think would help:Features:On each card it says (for example) "4 / 10 Hours Complete". The maximum value here needs to be editable. A fundamental of agile is that scope changes, estimates shift as you plan to deeper levels through the process, and the contingency is in the number and prioritisation of tasks (MoSCoW). It's essential that the "10" value here is editable on the card (for users / designers as well as PMs) to be a collaborative tool.On the Kanban board, when you filter by user / designer, at the top it should show the total number of hours complete / total / remaining for each column.Create a burn down chart - type report so it's easy to see how much work each resource (and the whole team) has in the current sprint. Similar to the Scrum one (but less painful. ;) ) For example, my team works in 1-week sprints and the admin involved to set these up and move tasks from sprint to sprint isn't worth the effort (last I checked, anyway).Allow us to sort cards by due date on the kanban boardAllow us to assign labels to cards, and filter in the same way as we can filter by "assigned to" on the kanban board. See Trello's labelling functionality.Right now, if 1 person creates a card, another user (on another PC) can't see that card until the platform is refreshed. On Trello / other web based apps it appears automatically. Even google docs etc works like this.If someone mark "10 / 10 Hours Complete", the system marks it as 100% done, and moves the card in to the "Complete" column automatically. Please can we turn off this auto updating? We often have designers who have spent the original allocation of time, but need more time as it was a bigger task than originally estimated (which is ok). In this instance, they update the task to be accurate - "10 / 10 Hours Complete", but then they lose the task from their list as it is auto marked as done.Adding a customisable pretty picture in the background of the app (like Trello / Google suite, MS Tasks etc), is a simple way of making the app *feel* much more accessible and more user friendly.Bugs:Fix the need to refresh every time when you move from the backlog to the kanban board. i.e. if you move something from the backlog to the kanban board, and then click to see the kanban board, the card won't show up on the kanban board until the page is refreshed.Projects that have a project status set to the the equivalent of "On Hold" or "Planning" won't show in the backlog. Your support team tells me this is by design, and I disagree. The backlog and Kanban board should be the source of truth for all projects in the system. Right now, as some don't show up, we have to check multiple places, which means things get lost and dropped.This also means that, if a project is already on the Kanban board (ie it was added in an "active" state), and then is put into "on hold"; when we try to move the Kanban board task back to the backlog, Workfront shows up an error saying something like "the task can't be moved to the backlog as the project is on hold". So the only option is to delete the task in the project and let the project get lost (not on backlog or Kanban board)The WF support team told me previously that the reason projects in "planning" don't show up on the backlog is because the backlog is designed to be only for projects that are fully scoped and ready to be worked on. Personally I disagree with this, and to some extent you to too, because you also have a "Ready" flag to be ticked in the backlog. ;). Also though, in agile, details are constantly changing. That's the point. Per DSDM Atern Agile, you plan to the "appropriate level of detail, and to the latest responsible moment" to mitigate this.When moving a card from one column to the other, it's not possible to move the card if you're not directly below the last card in the next column. So, say you have lots of cards in "In Progress", but only a couple in "To Do", you can't move cards into "To Do" without first moving the card to the top of the list, and then across columns.When you enter information into the description field, or any of the custom fields of a task, the task disappears, until the page is refreshed: https://share.getcloudapp.com/WnuGx9N9Many other Kanban bugs have been fixed in the past months as I report them, but being completely honest, I'm frustrated of acting as Workfront QA.Don't get me wrong, the current Kanban implementation is on the right track, and just needs some small tweaks to make it a powerhouse. Honestly I think if you allocated 1 UI/UX designer, 1 front end programmer, and 1 QA resource to this and told them "Trello is your base mark: Go", you could iterate on the current Kanban status to build a wonderful product with the Workfront Backend. Feel free to reach out, I'd love to see this work out.Thanks,Sam
Description -When adding new metrics it would be great to be able to zero out part days (go live date) and incorrect data on new metrics without using data repair API.Why is this feature important to you -Historically we have had events go live in production with issues or analysis done where only part-day information is available. Ideally, I would like to be able to make a "safe" metric that is available to non-power users which only works from a certain point forward.How would you like the feature to work -When creating a calculated metric that would be shared, I would use the existing "Day" dimension and "If" logic to build a metric that shows will return 0 if the metric is before the approved date.Current Behaviour -The problem at the moment is that "Day" can only be selected as "equals/exists/does not exist" or as a "Count distinct" for greater than or less than. Having the ability to select Day greater than or equal to "Jul 22, 2021" would solve the problem..
I often have Workspcae Projects with multiple panels (logical groups), all of them have almost the same filters in the header. with the new feature "drip down filter" it's time to suggest a new idea:Idea: lock panel filters to be the same - and when selecting a dropdown value, it's currated to all panels. would be great to have it as a "per filter"-option...This way I have following benefits:1) easy setup/modification of dashboards with multiple panel (especially if you have more that a few panels)2) easely filter data with just one click over all panels (just use drop-down and all panels have the same filter applied)
Sometimes when creating a new view, filter or grouping in text mode, you accidentally mess up the code and an error (see screenshot) appears. Unfortunately, the error message takes over the entire screen and the only way to fix it is to go into your Setup area and delete the view, filter or grouping and try again. Instead of blanking out the entire screen for the user, providing a poor experience, can we just leave the view, filter and grouping options available for an easy fix, similar to when a report breaks and you get a red error message.
Description - in a project, I would like % Complete column to automatically be calculated based on the actual hours entered by the user.Why is this feature important to you - This will help the project managers to log only the actual hours and not assume the percentage. The percent value should automatically be calculated based on the project manager's logged Actual hours vs their planned hours on a task.How would you like the feature to work - I would like the % column to automatically be calculated based on the actual hours entered by the user. Also, I would like this percentage to be rolled over to the project level.Current Behavior - In a project, the project managers estimate a percent complete and enter into the % complete column resulting in a number that may or may not be accurate. A Work Around Solution that I created: I created a view. In the view I added the Actual Hours column and a Task Percent complete column. In the view, I now have the following columns: task name, duration, planned hours, Task Actual Hours, Task % complete, Actual completion date, Project % complete columns. When, the project manager logged in the actual hours, the task % complete column automatically calculated the %. But the Project % complete column still had to be manually updated with that calculated % value. We needed the Project % complete column because that was the value that would be rolled over to Project % complete value in the header of the project.
Description - Create a new Product Role in Adobe Target that gives a user all the capabilities of an Approver with the ability to access and edit Administration settings, while then also removing an Approver's ability to access and edit Administration settings since they impact all Workspaces, not just the ones where the user has Approver access. Why is this feature important to you - We've have several instances where someone (there are no logs even available for us to pinpoint the user) changed an Administration setting without alerting anyone that then had a negative impact on all Workspaces. This has left us scrambling on a few occasions to pinpoint the issue - with no control on limiting access to these settings to our true Adobe Target admins. How would you like the feature to work - As stated above, remove an Approver's ability to access/edit Administration settings and create a new Product Role (perhaps just naming in "Administrator"), who has all the abilities of an Approver - plus the ability to access/edit Administration settings. Current Behavior - Anyone with the Approver Product Role - regardless of the Workspace - is able to access/edit Administration settings with no avilable logs to view their activity (i.e., if they change a setting in the Administration settings).
Allow an administrator to password protect or restrict access to a Document Folder. This would restrict access even for those users who have access to the Project.
In CJA Workspace, the 'image loader' option doesn't work correctly. When you click to add an image to either the 'description' or 'text' input box, the Workspace project just flickers and it will not let you add an 'https' image reference location. The attached GIF shows that you can use the 'link' feature, but not the 'import image feature'. To help support adding images of the user experience and company logos to our CJA Projects, I propose we fix this issue.
Description - I would like the ability to add a form field to a timesheet category. Why is this feature important to you - This would allow us to better track volume of work along with time. For Example - for a category of PT Scoring, my employee may spend 3 hours on this task in a day, but I don't know if they scored 1 item or 6. Adding this information in notes is not as report friendly. How would you like the feature to work - I would like to be able to create fields specific to tasks to allow more detailed data, that would be standardized more than using the 'note' feature.Current Behaviour - Notes can be added on the timesheet. Not as report friendly and free text allows for entry that is not standardized, which makes it more challenging to track and use as a metric.
Description - I would like to be able to see the start and end dates of the stages within an approval processWhy is this feature important to you - This feature would allow more in depth reporting and monitoring of our processes.How would you like the feature to work - As per my attachment we can see the start and end dates of an approval path process we have set up in our instance of Workfront. This approval path consists of two stages and we would like to see the start and end dates of each stage. Current Behaviour - Currently we can only see the start and end dates of the approval path overall and not it's composite stages.
Currently if someone creates a custom form they are forever the owner even if they leave the company. Currently we have a form we cannot unshare with a person because they are the "owner" and we cannot reassign ownership. I would propose the ability to reassign ownership to someone else of the custom form.
Currently, if you are working in a timeline template or in an actual project and you go to edit a field then refresh so that date changes flow through, you are bumped back to the beginning of the schedule. I wish that you could stay in the same portion of the timeline that you were editing, whether in template or project mode.
Currently, it looks like we can only have 2 groupings.
I would like to be able to use $$USER.ID as the access rights when scheduling reports to be sent automatically like in the screenshot below so that I can schedule reports to be sent out with just certain information on them.
In Workfront, it would be great to have a search bar on the Updates page that would search for results within the opened Updates page. This would cut down on endless page scrolling and make it quick to find specific thread topics within the page. It should also allow for searching for comments made within a date range or for a specific date. Currently, Updates pages can be cluttered with multiple threads and difficult to find the topic you need. Some of our projects can span years from start-to-finish and those Updates pages while useful, can be problematic when scrolling through years of comments to find what you need.
Hello, I love the new data warehouse UI and Layout, but would like to see a filter function (report suites, scheduled/completed, etc.) and a csv export of the list of the items as currently filtered. Basically how the scheduled reports export feature functions. I'm having to manually create a list which is quite painful. Thank you,Josh
Add Calculated Metrics (like Distinct Count) to CJA's Full Table Export capabilities. This is important as right now you cannot include them in Full Table Export, which limits what data we can export. For example, if we have a calculated metric taking the sum of 20 different activities, we currently cannot export that information in one table. Instead, we would need to create and export four different tables with all of those activities, and the VLOOKUP them together in Excel. Also, not being able to include Distinct Count metrics is also a major limitation, as that is a very common metric (e.g. 'distinct count of emails received). In an ideal situation, Calculated Metrics would be included in CJA's Full Table Export's OOTB capabilities.
