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. Make a note of the username. This username will

      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

Happy July everyone!   First off this month, thank you to all of you who voted on a name of our new monthly newsletter. I’m excited to share that the winning name is Workfront @ Work! There is so much I want to share with you this month! Just a couple of weeks ago, we had our annual Leap conference virtually. Read on to learn all about it. We also have a big product release coming your way in August. Let me start with a quick teaser for our 20.3 release. Because almost everything about how you work has and continues to change, we’re excited to announce Workfront Align and Workfront Scenario Planner to support strategic goal setting and execution, and dynamic planning and prioritizing of people, budgets, and work. Moving on to Leap. Our Leap conference always represents the best time of the year for me. It’s a time to get to see so many of you, listen to your experiences, and capture feedback to use in our continual efforts to enhance your experience with Workfront.&

As the owner of leadership meetings, I find Workfront to be invaluable in creating agendas that other team members can contribute to, recording decisions that are made, and easily assigning and tracking action items.Each meeting is a project under the leadership team program. It’s easy to locate past meetings when we need to reference them:An agenda looks like this:With the option of putting the agenda items in whatever statuses work for your team. We use these customized statuses: standing, requested, action item, parking lot.Action items are easily recorded and tracked.The request queue for our organization has helped me execute on items and track them easily. Here is an example of part of my request queue dashboard. I can view all of my daily requests as a "to do list" on one screen (okay, maybe two screens because It’s so large!). It is empty right now and that’s a reason for celebration!Prior to using this request queue, team members would email me, walk by and ask me, mention in

As we near the finish line of a year filled with unimaginable change, we’ve been knee-deep in trends, research, and lessons learned—compiling and analyzing as we prepare for 2021. Between our Customer Advisory Board’s astute observations and the findings of Workfront’s Generations at Work Study, one prediction in particular stands out.  Delivering exceptional digital work experiences will be as important for our employees as it is for our customers in 2021—and beyond. Enabling and empowering a modern workforce will become a, if not the, top priority for organizations of all types and sizes. Why? Because, more and more, the global workforce is composed of digital natives who demand the same quality of digital experiences at work as they do in their personal lives. It has to be easy, and it has to be delightful. Staying competitive will require companies to create collaborative, virtual, rich media digital experiences that reflect the way work and the people doing the work are

Did you know? Workfront has 70 reports built into the system to get you started tracking and measuring work! These reports are intended to provide quick and easy visibility into the relevant information about the work being done, for you and your users.

Reports such as: My ProjectsProjects By ConditionMy TimesheetMy IssuesMy Submitted IssuesMy TasksTrouble Tasks Let's dig deeper into Workfront system reports: -- Video coming soon! -- To access reports in Workfront, go to the Reporting area, click the Reports tab, and then click All Reports.

So let’s create a filter to see just these “out of the box” reports and filter out the reports that users in your organization created.

Do you ever feel like you spend so much time responding to ad hoc requests, it’s impossible to come up for air to think strategically about longer initiatives? You aren't alone. I’ve heard this referred to as the “tactic treadmill.” It feels impossible to catch up, let alone get ahead, because there's always something urgent that needs your attention. The good news? When teams are empowered to evolve from simply responding to requests, the work they manage can also evolve to be more proactive and strategic in nature. Gartner defines work management as "a set of software products and services that apply workflow structure to the movement of information as well as the interaction of business processes and human worker processes that generate the information.” In other words, work management gives meaningful structure to the work. It’s an ecosystem where the people, process, technology and data are brought together into a framework specific to your business objectives.&nbsp

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
