is anyone else getting these popup messages when they get in their workfront instance? Are they just going out to admin level license holders or to all users? -skye

Good thought! But I registered for the sessions when they opened as well. ;-) Eileen Womelsdorf SEI Global Marketing Operations, Resource Management Developer | Arranger | Individualization | Relator | Empathy SEI New ways.

Have you also registered for your sessions? Session registration was just opened a couple weeks ago. I'm just throwin' out guesses here :)

Hi, Heather! I only wish that was the case. I have been registered for months now for LEAP. :-( Eileen Womelsdorf SEI Global Marketing Operations, Resource Management Developer | Arranger | Individualization | Relator | Empathy SEI New ways.

I would like to know of an update on this topic as well. Granted, the Leap popup hasn't generated as much chaos as the integrations popup (yet!). I would still prefer the option to allow or opt out of this type of advertising to my entire user base. Eileen Womelsdorf SEI Investments Inc.

I haven't seen that yet and I've been logged in as several different users this morning as well as myself. Is it possible they've targeted this one to Admins who aren't yet registered? Not sure if either of you are registered for LEAP, I am so maybe that's why I haven't gotten it...?

I got the same thing. It wasn't even on my Home screen, I was just merrily working and looking at my project list and BAM! across my screen. I cannot express my displeasure strongly enough. Bad enough we have the giant "banner ad" on the login page (which I also think is really egregious given how much we pay for Workfront), but popups like this are beyond aggravating. Now if you want to take a cue from iPhone apps and give Workfront to us for free, or 20% the full cost or something, in exchange for seeing ads... Kevin Quosig

Has there been an update to this? I'm seeing another pop-up today about LEAP. This should not be appearing in our home screens. Very frustrating. This is information that is used for announcements - why does it need to also be pushed as a pop-up ad?

Thanks for your reply Jeremy I escalated this issue through my account management team yesterday, but I note sadly that today my users are receiving "How likely are you to recommend Workfront to your colleagues" survey messages. I class these in the same category as the integration messages we have been receiving – that is, as an unacceptable, unannounced intrusion into my enterprise's workspace. Please can you confirm that all these types of unsolicited messages have now been halted until we can agree an appropriate approach. To help inform that discussion on what is acceptable, I would suggest from my company's perspective, I don't just want a heads up on your future enablement plans, I want an opt-in solution, provided to my Admins, which as Miranda suggested should be granular enough for me to decide which parts of which messages I want which of my users to see, and comprehensive enough so I can decide to have none of the messages if I choose.

Hi Jeremy, We have strict data and infosec depts - trying to get the outlook and teams plugin into our software centre took me 7 months. So, I have 2 things... 1) I did find the link useful, as the videos (for what people could use) helped me out. 2) The issue is we don't use slack, for example - therefore, I would prefer to be able to configure the pop-up to what is relevant to our instalation. Thanks! Miranda Rais
