DescriptionThe current search functionality in Adobe Workfront can be improved to enhance efficiency when searching for past projects, especially when looking for work done by other team members. Users who frequently need to locate previous projects based on specific owners or project types often face limitations that slow down their workflow.This enhancement proposal focuses on two key improvements:Expand the search functionality to display all potential project owners when searching by name, rather than restricting the results to only the top 10 suggestions. This is especially critical when dealing with common names, as it limits visibility and makes it difficult to locate the correct project owner.Allow users to filter by both "Project Type" and "Project Owner" simultaneously. Currently, selecting a project type disables the ability to also search by a person’s name. Enabling both filters at once would streamline the search process and significantly reduce the time spent manually sifting through results.By addressing these limitations, users will be able to locate past projects faster and with greater accuracy, improving productivity and efficiency.Why is this feature important to you?The ability to quickly and accurately locate past projects is crucial for productivity and knowledge-sharing within teams. Many users, including myself, frequently search for past work done by other team members to reference best practices, locate assets, or gather insights for new projects. However, the current search constraints make this process cumbersome and time-consuming.For users dealing with common names, it is frustrating to be limited to the top 10 results, as it often excludes the actual person they need. This results in extra steps, like manually scrolling through project lists or reaching out to colleagues to track down information.For users who need to filter by both project type and owner, the inability to do so forces them to either search by project type alone (which results in too many projects to sort through) or by owner alone (which doesn’t always narrow down the search enough).These inefficiencies contribute to unnecessary delays, impacting overall productivity and collaboration across teams. By implementing these search enhancements, Workfront can provide a more seamless and intuitive experience for users handling large volumes of projects.How would you like the feature to work?To improve Workfront’s search functionality, I propose the following enhancements:Expand Name Search Capabilities:Instead of limiting search results to the top 10 project owners, Workfront should allow users to type in any name and display all matching results.A potential solution could be an "expand results" button that reveals additional names beyond the top 10.Alternatively, Workfront could enable a scrolling list of names or allow users to enter a full name (first + last) for more precise filtering.Enable Dual Filtering for Project Type and Project Owner:Users should be able to select both a "Project Type" and a "Project Owner" simultaneously in the search function.This would allow users to refine their search criteria efficiently, leading to more accurate and faster results.A dropdown or multi-select filter for project type, combined with the improved name search functionality, would optimize the experience.With these enhancements, users would be able to locate past projects more effectively, reducing the manual effort currently required to find relevant information.Current BehaviorCurrently, Workfront’s search function has the following limitations:Limited Name Search:When searching for a project owner with a common name, Workfront only displays the top 10 matches.Users cannot type a full name to refine their search or see all possible matches.Restrictive Filtering Options:If a user selects a "Project Type" filter, they cannot also filter by a specific project owner at the same time.This forces users to choose one filter or the other, resulting in longer search times and difficulty in pinpointing the correct projects.By addressing these challenges, Adobe Workfront can significantly improve its usability and help teams work more efficiently. Enhancing Workfront’s search functionality with expanded name search capabilities and the ability to filter by both project type and owner will have a meaningful impact on user productivity. These changes will enable users to quickly locate past projects, improving workflow efficiency and collaboration across teams. This feature aligns with Adobe’s commitment to providing an intuitive and powerful project management platform that evolves to meet the needs of its users.
Hello fellow Adobe-pros,Another feature request to make all our lives a lot easier: Please, bring Full Path reports from Reports & Analytics to Analysis Workspace. That report is super helpful to understand how users move through a page in general and from a given point:What I would like to have is quite simple: A full path dimension for every dimension in Workspace! That dimension would hold the paths through that dimension for a given session with values like "Entry -> Homepage -> Product Page -> Exit". Ideally, this value would be calculated when the report runs, so that segments are also respected. For example, if I would exclude all Hits on the homepage, the dimension would then show "Entry -> Product Page -> Exit". Ideally, we would also have the option to search this dimension in a clever way, like with the old PathFinder report: With a report like this, it would be super easy to train our business users to do in-depth pathing analysis on their own. As the owner of a certain landing page or checkout step, it would now be super simple to understand the most relevant,complete user journeys surrounding a certain page. I'd love to have this! As always, let me know what you think of this!
As much as I love being able to hyperlink dimensions in a freeform table, this is only limited to either: Having a URL-based dimension so you can allow Adobe Analytics to create hyperlinks for all rows or Manually enter the URL for each row (There is an option to create a dynamic URL string, but that requires the dimension having direct ties to the URL.) It would be nice to designate a URL dimension (for example, evar1 Page URL) as the destination link for the corresponding non-URL dimension currently chosen in the freeform table (for example, evar2 Page Title). This would be helpful if users are looking at Page Title or Video Names and want to know more about the page content that may influence the KPIs they are seeing.
Description - Currently you can apply. date range to all panels. However, you cannot apply your drop-downs and segment filters to all panels. Additionally, if you want to rearrange your filters (ex: move one to the front to keel things in order, you have to delete items in from of them and reapply them again. Why is this feature important to you -Ease of use How would you like the feature to work -Allow a "apply to all" button to apply all filters and drop-downs on a specific panel to ALL panels in a Workspace project. Allow a user to reorganize the positioning of filters and drop-downs within a panel without first having to remove filters/drop-downs. Current Behavior - You have to remove filters/drop-downs to move filters from the end to the beginning.
Description -Currently you can place annotations on line displays to provide an understanding when events have happened in time. However, for other trend views like Area and combo, you cannot apply annotations. It would be great to be able to do so. Why is this feature important to you -It makes annotating events easier to adopt across multiple views. It doesn't force the analyst to use only one display method. How would you like the feature to work - Allow annotation for area, bar, and combo displays. Current Behavior - only line charts allow for annotations.
In our instance, we have some projects that require specific default fields, views, filters and terminologies that are different than other projects. It would be helpful if we could assign project layout templates to portfolios or programs or individual projects instead of users.Example:Agile Portfolio:-Projects= Epics-Tasks=Features-Issues=Defects-Project Custom dashboard= Epic PI Dashboard Marketing Campaign Portfolio:-Projects = Campaigns-Tasks=Activities-Issues=Digital Content-Project Custom Dashboard=Campaign Performance Dashboard
Description -Currently, you can only use dimension items in the flow display. This limits visibility into pathing in and out of a "group" (example: if you had a URL dimension, you may want to see pathing into all URL's that contain /products/ instead of just /products/widget-a/ ) Allowing users to use segments in addition to dimension items would allow the user to have visibility into an overarching pattern of behavior into like items. Why is this feature important to you -There have been many frequent cases where this would be useful in my personal analysis. As a web analyst, I want to see flow displays in and out of a hit-based segment to see the bigger picture for journeys in and out of all similar pages all at once. How would you like the feature to work -Using the segment as the start, the middle or end of the flow display would work. But not with multiple segments. Pathing in and out of the segment would be dimensional values. Current Behavior -You cannot use segments in flow displays.
Description - Use chi-squared to see if actual Adobe Analytics split is stat-sig different than expected from Adobe Target traffic allocation.Why is this feature important to you -The Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM) test can be used to detect a wide variety of data quality issues that may affect online experiments (aka A/B tests). See https://www.lukasvermeer.nl/srm/microsite/How would you like the feature to work - Pull-in the expected split from Adobe Target. Use chi-squared test to see if actual Adobe Analytics split is stat-sig different than expected from Adobe Target traffic allocation. If confidence is 99% = yellow warning, 99.9% conf = red alert. Because visitors in Adobe Target (profiles) are different than in Adobe Analytics (devices), it might also be helpful to compare the number of treated visitors in Adobe Target reporting to the number of visitors in Adobe Analytics also to help debug when there is an SRM error.Current Behaviour - Create an A4T panel and if the gap "looks" big enough I copy the traffic data into an online calculator. Post-test, I have an Excel spreadsheet template that does this for me.
Description - bring back the ability to clear lazy loaded mboxes and hosts in the UI. This used to exist in the classic interface. We have many inactive mbox and when using the form editor, it's easy to select the wrong mbox. Why is this feature important to you - It will make the interface easier to use and less likely to for new users to target from using the wrong mbox.How would you like the feature to work - add 2 buttons "clear hosts" and "clear mboxes". Clicking the buttons would clear the current lists and we would need to wait for lazy loading to fill the lists again.Current Behaviour - this feature doesn't exist
Description - 1) Add the ability archive audiences and profile scripts in Adobe Target. 2) Add the ability to filter achieved, inactive and active audiences and profile scriptsWhy is this feature important to you - We have hundreds of audiences and profile scripts from both Adobe Target and Adobe Target Classic. We cannot delete Profile Scripts because they are used by in-editable Audiences and Audience can't be deleted because they are used in in-editable campaigns. It makes it hard to find the right profile script, especially if debugging an emergency. How would you like the feature to work:Edit Profile script: Add an archive/unarchive button with a confirmationProfile Script list: add filter button next to the "Search profile scripts". Clicking the filter button would show the ability to filter on status with 3 checkboxes for active, inactive and archived. Active and inactive would be checked by default and inactive uncheckedFix the STATUS sort: when you click on the header, it should sort by status not name.Edit Audience: For Adobe Target and Adobe Target Classic Audience Only, add an archive/unarchive button with a confirmation Add to Audience Library filters the ability to filter by status: active and archived. Active would be checked by default and archived unchecked.Current Behaviour: Audience search only allows you a simple contains search with the ability to filter by source (Adobe Target, AEP, etc).Profile Scripts only allows a simple contains search. The order by "STATUS" doesn't order by status, but by "NAME"No ability to filter by status for either
Description - Currently, Workfront utilizes the time zone on the user's computer to determine the times and dates for tasks versus the setup time zone within Workfront for the user. It also ignores the time zone schedule of the project. We are finding issues with this in a few locations within Workfront. For example, in the Time Off section, if the user's setup time zone within Workfront is not set to the same time zone as their computer, it will select 2 days when trying to select 1. Another example, if a user is located on the West coast and their computer is set to PST, but their Workfront time zone is set to CST, it will override the CST and use the computer's time zone. This is especially difficult for Planners that are setting up due dates and times for tasks within a project. We'd like Workfront to stop referencing the "computer" time of users and set all users to CST, regardless of where are they are located in the world. Configuring user accounts with their actual time zone doesn't work, either. Our default schedule in Workfront is set to CST so when a Planner goes to schedule tasks and their time zone is set to something other than CST, the planner hours fall over different days, messing up the Workload Balancer. Why is this feature important to you - Times are showing up different for users depending on their physical time zone which is causing a great deal of confusion across our global company. How would you like the feature to work - The system should display times in the time zone schedule assigned to the project, or, Workfront should not reference the time zone of the user's computer and refer only to the time zone configured in their user account. Also, time entered in PTO should be entered as CST so that the PTO doesn't incorrectly affect the workload balancer or planner. Current Behaviour - Our default system schedule and projects schedules is CST. If a person in another time zone enters a full day of PTO for a single day, it places the time off over two days in time off calendar and adversely affects the workload balancer. All of this refers to original support ticket E-001557318, which was rejected by Adobe Workfront Support, that it is "not feasible within the current scope of our work".
Description - Adobe recently modified the Fusion API so that it only returns save-events, and not the actual execution logs. Instead, Adobe have implemented a different API that is not accessible to Customers. Why is this feature important to you - This breaks current scenarios that collect eg Warning/Error executions (eg to create a ticket in another tool or alert the support team). This was done without communications to customers and partners. How would you like the feature to work - I want to be able to search and retrieve execution logs like we used to be able to. In general, removing functionality without announcement and workaround reflects quite negatively on the Product and how change is being implemented.
Description Currently, the search in Launch is barely useful, since it returns a very fluffy set of results, that quite often do not help finding what you are looking for. Quite often, the results just show a "... more" in the results list, but without actually giving you a chance to find what you are looking for. This leads to developers rather not changing any DE names once in use to not break anything. It would be awesome to be able to have more search features like "exact match" "regex match" case sensitive yes/no etc. Also, a optional dedicated search detail page that lists all the other results would be great! Ideally with a preview of the match. Out of this need, external tools like the "Perpetua Digital Launch Assistant" are being developed, just addressing these shortcomings. Why is this feature important to you Everybody knows you cannot just rename data element in Launch without potentially breaking things. Hence, whenever I want to rename a DE, I open the website first and search for any occurrenced of the DE in the rendered Launch library, to get a clearer picture where to start digging go back to Launch and rename there based on my findings Essentially, I never use the Launch search feature. How would you like the feature to work more search options as described above a dedicated search page that lists all results Current Behaviour it is hard to find what you are looking for depending on the search term, many "other..." results fluffy search, returning false positives that do return results that do not match the search term
Description -see any Thumbnails for PDFs when you upload as Documents Why is this feature important to you -all of our Print output will require a PDF for approval, so having the thumbnails and previews available is imperative for our processes. How would you like the feature to work -By default, PDF is a supported file type for proofing so when you create a proof from PDF files, it will show a preview thumbnail. But you won't see a thumbnail for PDF files within the document lists/ PreviewThumbnails are show for for png, jpeg etc, but not PDF when you upload as Documents to Workfrontuploading a PDF as a “Document” by default doesn’t generate any in-browser preview. Current Behaviour -If you choose “Document Only” when uploading, Workfront just stores the file—no interactive viewer is generated
