As we all know the digital industry ecosystem is very dynamic in nature. With the recent developments and changes in the marketing space, one thing always remains constant, Audience. Understanding our audience's behavior and reaching out to the right set of customers is the most important aspect. And for this, marketers require data to pull insights about their user behavior. This data is available in three forms: first, second, and third-party data.What is First-Party data?This is the advertiser’s data that they collect themself. First-part data includes information such as demographics, interests, time spent on the website, purchase history, etc. This customer information is collected from both online and offline sources, such as the company’s website, app, CRM, social media, or surveys. These data points can be segmented further and monetized by using a data management platform resulting in a personalized experience for the end-user.Why First-Party data matters:First-party data is g

Hello Community, I have following situation  /content/xyz/en/application/test.html|                                           sling:alias = mytesten||/content/xyz/fr/application/test.html                                          sling:alias = mytestfr with these alias set i am able to access /content/xyz/fr/application/mytestfr.html I also have alias for application under fr node set to myapplicationfrHence i am able to access /content/xyz/fr/myapplicationfr/mytestfr.html as well. However, when selecting the page using pagefield component  in the dialog which would show the pages to select, the url which gets linked is only /content/xyz/fr/application/mytestfr.html instead of /content/xyz/fr/myapplicationfr/myt

I always tell folks to use a time-tested URL parsing library like URI.js to seek and save UTMs and other marketing attribution info (not all browsers support native URLSearchParams, plus URI.js is better anyway).   Don’t attempt to write your own or use an uncredited one-liner you found somewhere!   Almost broke my own rule just now, though. For an upcoming post where only one query param was necessary, I found this old code (credited as part of “IOWA Util” though no evidence of that project exists) and pasted it in before doing a double-take: function getURLParameter(param) { var queryString = window.location.search.substring(1); if (!queryString) return; var matches = new RegExp(param + "=([^&]*)").exec(queryString); if (!matches) return; var value = decodeURIComponent(matches[1]); return value; }   You see this general approach — new RegExp(param + "=([^&]*)").exec() — in hundreds of projects on Gi

8 Tenents for Cloud-Scale Logging in AEM by Daniel Klco Abstract AEM has supported logging since the beginning and fundamentally, the logging implementation between AEM as a Cloud Service, AEM in Adobe Managed Services and AEM 6 are very similar. However, since AEM Cloud Service is executed as a Cloud Service, and orchestrated as containers, you can't SSH into the server to look at the logs to diagnose issues. So how do we get logs in AEM Cloud Service and what more should developers consider when writing logs for a cloud platform like AEM Cloud Service? Getting Logs in AEM Cloud Service In AEM as a Cloud Service, the logs from your containers are automatically collected and can be downloaded via Cloud Manager or forwarded to your own Splunk service. Forwarding logs to Splunk allows your organization to seamlessly consume logs from AEM and develop your own monitoring and metrics for your AEM application or website. Great! Now you have access to the logs for your instance. So how d

AEM Forms - Cascading drop down-lists by Adobe Docs Abstract Video: https://images-tv.adobe.com/mpcv3/6490/a677e937-0720-48d3-97f4-07f6e1cce196_1644966123.854x480at800_h264.mp4 Cascading drop down lists A cascading drop-down list is a series of dependent DropDownList controls in which one DropDownList control depends on the parent or previous DropDownList controls. The items in the DropDownList control are populated based on an item that is selected by the user from another DropDownList control. For the purpose of this tutorial, I have used Geonames REST API to demonstrate this capability. There are a number of organizations providing this kind of service and as long as they have well documented REST API’s you can easily integrate with AEM Forms using the data integration capability The following steps were followed to implement cascading drop down lists in AEM Forms Create developer account Create a developer account with Geonames.

      Want more control over how or when your people are routed in Salesforce? Leverage the power of webhooks and the Chili Piper API to control your routing in Salesforce.   Chili Piper is a tool that makes it easy for inbound people to schedule a meeting with your sales team and then handle the distribution of these meetings to the members of your team.   You can connect Chili Piper to your forms to automatically route people that are created. However, if you want more control over when people are routed then you can use the Chili Piper REST API. This in turn means that routing within Salesforce can be controlled by Marketo, since the API requests can be made using webhooks.   Before jumping into the implementation of the Chili Piper routing request in Marketo lets take a quick look at how Chili Piper can be configured to route people in the way you want.   Chili Piper Introduction   The distribution of inbound people and meetings is handl

As general availability for the new Workfront experience nears, many customers are asking how they can train their users, when they should update training and documentation, etc. To help with the transition from Classic to the new Workfront experience, the Workfront training team created Getting Started slide decks for Work, Plan, and Collaborator license users. You can download these slides and use them as is or edit the decks with your organization-specific instructions and screenshots. These decks should be helpful in transitioning users to new Workfront experience, leading lunch and learns, or onboarding new users after general availability. The guides are available on the Learn the new Workfront experience webpage, under the Enablement Kits section of the downloads. Make sure to “Like” this post if you find it helpful. To ask questions about the new Workfront experience, please post the details in the comments section below. To share feedback, t

As an Enterprise Account Executive, I manage my accounts in Salesforce and manage the work related to those accounts in Workfront.I use Workfront to manage 2 things – my existing accounts and my prospect accounts. With existing accounts, there are always things we need to stay on top of from account plans to value pyramids to plans on how we can expand these accounts with Workfront. With a prospect account, there are always tasks and actions to be done to move the prospect forward. Ideally, they will follow a sequence of events from the first conversation to the close of the contract.In order to stay on top of all of these moving parts, Workfront is essential in helping me keep track of these activities. It is also imperative that the professional services (CX) team has what they need in order to successfully implement a new customer. Inside of each customer’s project, the CX team will find recordings of demos, value maps where we have put together processes, as well as the customer’s

Can you believe we are in August? August is always a big month in my house because the kids get back to school. Like many of you, we don’t know what to expect this school year, but I do know we’ll all get through it—what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? In addition to back to school time, this August is a HUGE month for Workfront because we are delivering our 20.3 product release. What does that mean? It means that in addition to a number of enhancements on the core product, we are introducing TWO brand new products to help drive collaboration, gain more visibility, and fundamentally get work done. Enhancements to Workfront’s core product Let’s start with some of the updates we’ve made to Workfront’s core platform:  Enterprise controls. A structured approach to group hierarchy allows you to create, manage, and organize all your departments in one instance of Workfront, while remaining flexible enough for those teams to customize and manage the unique way they work,

Hi! My name is David Burggraaf and I’m the Chief Technology Officer at Workfront. I’m excited to be sharing some thoughts with you this month on the topic of work automation. Throughout my career, one of the things I have observed is that those that do well, automate. Whether it is engineers or people in finance, marketing, sales, HR, IT, or elsewhere, one of the common traits of the successful is that they automate. So, when a brother of mine asked me how they could be more successful in their career, I said “automate!” Before we dive in, it’s important to set the stage. Nearly every organization struggles with efficiencies on some level. Everyone is trying to get products to market faster while still being innovative. It’s not a surprise when we see that over 40% of employees are spending at least a quarter of their week doing repetitive tasks. A recent CMO Council study noted that $1 trillion is lost by companies every year due to mismanaged tasks, resulting in wasted productivity

Greetings! My name is Heather Foeh and I lead the Customer Marketing team at Adobe Workfront. If you have ever read a success story about a fellow customer, attended a User Group, received our customer newsletter, and more, that is all the work of our team. Our goal is to shine a light on our customers’ success while also making sure you’re communicated with in a timely manner. A few weeks ago, Adobe Workfront proudly celebrated YOU, our customers, in our 11th annual Lion Awards. The Lion Awards honor customers who are achieving positive, measurable results as they transform work management within their organization. This year was a bit different, not just because we were virtual–we've done that before!–but because we held the awards in tandem with the Adobe Experience Maker Awards.  The Experience Maker Awards aim to celebrate the exceptional experiences Adobe customers are creating through Adobe Experience Cloud solutions, and we were honored to be part of the joint ce

Next to St. Patrick’s Day and the Spring Equinox, the highlight of March for many is Selection Sunday, when millions across our country eagerly complete their hopeful brackets for March Madness, carefully analyzing the data and teams at play. Whether you are a college basketball fan or not, there are a handful of lessons to be learned from March Madness that you and your team can benefit from.  Think about your business—what’s important to you? No matter your company or industry, your customers, employees, and product or service most likely come to mind. For these elements to mesh cohesively, you need a team that works together just as well.  Below are three lessons we can each learn from and apply to our role within Workfront:  Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.It’s amazing how many times we go into something not fully prepared, thinking that if we just wing it, everything will turn out okay. College basketball is the same way—just because you are a 1-see

The end of the year is quickly approaching, which means it’s about time to write down the same New Year's resolutions we use every year—eat healthier, exercise more, and save money.  Although personal goals may remain the same, the way work gets done is constantly changing. According to the Workfront State of Work 2020, people and teams are under constant pressure to work faster and more efficiently. Workfront is designed to help you and your team master modern work, so consider the following ideas to elevate your team’s work productivity within the tool. 1) Designate a Workfront champion.  This person is your go-to for all things Workfront. For most system administrators, the role of Workfront champion is automatically assumed, simply based on access level. However, every organization has someone who’s an early adopter, someone who knows every keyboard shortcut, or someone who can navigate the system without even looking. This is the ideal user to ch
