As Users who have created Calendars get deactivated, any Calendars which they have built and shared are no longer visible to those with whom they have been shared. This is inconsistent with how Reports/Dashboards are maintained when a User is deactivated. There are 2 current workarounds:Create a "fake" User account at the System Admin level and make a copy of the Calendar from the deactivated User, then re-share the new Calendar.Log in as a current User and make a copy of the Calendar from the deactivated User, then re-share the new Calendar.However, when making a Copy, it is important to note that if any Custom Date Fields on Calendars are used, those are no longer maintained. Therefore new Custom Date Field filters need to be built. It would be nice to see that Calendars behave the same when a User is deactivated to maintain the Calendar Report and the Filters that have been applied.
Description - Users with access level restrictions that don't allow them to access documents in Workfront (upload/download) should not be allowed to download pictures that are attached to updates (at minimum). Ideally they shouldn't be able to add pictures to updates at all as well.Why is this feature important to you - We have users with restricted access to documents. I cannot enable pictures in updates for entire population because of that group, because we consider pictures to be documents. Which I don't believe it's crazy given Workfront is largely used in Marketing and pictures are commonly shared assets. How would you like the feature to work - Users with restricted access to documents shouldn't be able to download pictures attached to updates (at minimum). Ideally they also cannot attach any pictures to updates themselvesCurrent Behaviour - despite restricted access to documents users can upload pictures to updates and download them if someone else has shared them this way
Our team would like to be able to see object level data of the object that is identified in our Typehead fields from submitters. For Example: If a submitter tags a project in our typehead field, we want to see what that Project's current status is in Workfront. Essentially the business case here is if the tagged project is still in progress our team should not be working on this new request. This acts as a check for us while removing the manual look up in the system.
Description - Show Groups structure in a visual format in one place Why is this feature important to you - There are custom forms asking which group and sub group a project belongs to and it is impossible to figure that out easily unless you are a sys admin and have access to Groups configuration page to see the relationships. How would you like the feature to work - All staff need to be able to see which group and sub group a staff belongs to and who they report to and be able to trace it from bottom to top. Current Behaviour - Currently you can only do this by searching for a particular user and looking at their Org. chart. but even then you won't be able to trace them back to their highest level group, other than by clicking on the top manager and then navigating to their org chart and repeat.
Description - What I was looking for today was an option to select Accepted Solutions when in a user profile, like RandyRoberts for example, to see all of their accepted solutions to see if any of them might be helpful. There are a lot of limitations on filtering and searches that make it a challenge to effectively browse popular and useful posts. I have tried using AI to search as well, but it usually can't navigate the Adobe sites either. And I hate the latest update to Adobe Documentation with every menu hidden until you hit the drop-down arrows. It makes it really hard to peruse it and scan for what I want. Why is this feature important to you - Make information easier to obtain as the users' responses are often the best resources out there since the documentation is very limited and even harder to navigate. How would you like the feature to work - Add more filters to searches and within user profiles. Allow multiple filters to be chosen, like most replies/like
We have been asked to to create a pop-up or a link to a comments box so that someone can provide comments/detail as to why a piece of work or project has been cancelled, potentially during an approval process.As far as I'm aware, this functionality doesn't currently exist in Workfront. Would it be possible to add? Thanks!
Description - The only way to view a particular project information in Teams is to add the Workfront project site as a site to an MS Teams channel. even then the page cannot scroll left and right and part of the page is missing from the view in MS Teams. Also, some particular tabs from the Project page, such as business case or tabs with charts and graphs do not open properly; they basically open as blank. Why is this feature important to you - almost everyone in my organization utilizes MS Teams for accessing anything and this will not only make their job easier but also make them actually open Workfront rather than reaching our to other channels to learn about projects in Workfront. How would you like the feature to work - I would like to be able to access the project site and all the information in it, reports and dashboard, from MS Teams. I like to be able to add the pages to the channels so that staff can access particular items from MS Teams. Current Behaviour - Th
Description - It would be helpful to have the ability to create a segment that could compare the values of two different traits and qualify a customer based on if the values match.Why is this feature important to you - the rub with AAM traits is obviously the number of possible data values for some traits--and having to build those out. Think date values or could be SKUs or anything else that has a lot of values.eg. let's pretend I work for an airline and I want to compare the values of traits 'next flight destination' to 'customer's home airport' in order to discern if the Customer's next flight is departing from their home airport or returning to their home airport. How would you like the feature to work - just need to add the option to reference an existing trait name , an operator of 'matches' 'does not match' and then the other trait name to compare to.Current Behaviour - this doesn't exist and I assume there is no development work happing on AAM but hopefully you can add thi
The old Home experience had the option to view "Approvals I've Submitted". However, this feature isn't available in the new Home experience. We'd like to have the option to view the approvals we've submitted all in one place, so that we can follow up on them if needed.
Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Add a console in tools where authors can - 1. View the soon expiring pages, assets and XFs. 2. Download the report 3. Trigger the email to specific emails or groups with report attachment 4. Ability to change offtime in bulk Use-case: Authors need a console where they can view and review the resources that are expiring soon. Depending on the resource expiry, they can take adequate actions to avoid sudden unpublishing of these resources. Current/Experienced Behavior: Currently, AEM does not have any such console and it requires a custom solution to implement it. It would be good if this solution is part of product which may be more consistent and improve overall product value. Improved/Expected Behavior: Specified in RFE Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable): AEMaacS, AEM 6.5 Customer-name/Organization name: NA Screenshot (if applicable): Code package (if applicabl
Currently, an Admin can implement a default task constraint using two variables:Set the Start date settings in task & Issue preferencesSchedule from in the project settings.This allows a user to set a default task constraint to:As soon as possibleStart no earlier thanAs late as possibleStart no later thanWe have a requirement to set the task constraint to "Fixed Dates" as the default.We would like a way to implement this at a global and group level.Ideally, rather than a matrix of complex variables, a simple drop-down with the 11 constraint options would be perfect.
Description - Right now it goes to the homepage after login regardless of what I click or what I'm doing. Why is this feature important to you - It is frustrating to the user who expects this to be the common/basic behavior. How would you like the feature to work - When I click a link in an email and have to go through login, it should remember where I was headed and take me there instead of the homepage. Current Behavior - After login user is directed to the page determined by their layout. We use SSO. Submitted to me by one of our users.
The new Home are is clean and offers some powerful customization options. I would like the ability to create Home templates, similarly to how we create Layout Templates now, to start users out with so they see the most important information first (i.e. for Executives, have Awaiting My Approval, Team Requests, and Mentions up top; for Project Owners, have My Projects, Mentions up top, etc.).
Anomaly Detection is a great feature which is available in two Workspace visualizations: Freeform tables and Line Charts.For many years, anomalies would show automatically in Line Charts (provided Anomalies were enabled in the Viz settings) but it has recently been removed.Now, in order to see anomalies, it's necessary to first drop in a secondary 'time series' breakdown dimension (for example 'Day') in the underlying data table and then select the values in the table in order to see anomalies in the line chart. Even though, it's just a few extra clicks, it is really annoying, especially when reviewing a large number of items. It's also difficult to train internal stakeholders to do this extra step. According to Client Care, this is not a bug but a feature that has been withdrawn (though I can't find any official documentation, for example in the release notes). Adobe, please bring back the old functionality!
We have thousands of users in our database, many of whom decide to "Check Out" documents. Currently we must go through each of these jobs manually, one by one, to check in documents so that we may purge the documents when space becomes limited or retention level has been met. We have thousands of files that are currently "Checked Out". We have a standing policy to never check out documents, as it is not a necessary feature in our use-case and more of a hindrance.
Description - Be able to define a well-defined process to manage the AEP artifacts in the code repository and then have an automated way to deploy them between environments easily. Why is this feature important to you - As the project grows, it's not easy to manage changes between environments. A lot of things get manual and we lose track of what is in stage & what is in prod. How would you like the feature to work - Need a better-automated way and also a well-defined code structure. Current Behaviour - There are postman APIs to create & update artifacts, but that needs to get further enhanced to automate this well based on ongoing changes - add/modify/delete. Some artifacts will always be manual eg: new segments & updates, but few areas should be controlled well with code to maintain consistency eg: schemas & datasets, managing identities, and DULE labels & policies.
The Favorites list is currently ordered by when an item was added. There's no ability to change the order without deleting items and adding them back in the preferred order. This is too much effort when priorities change and the list needs to be reordered. Ideally items should be draggable like pinned items so that they can be moved based on priority or preference.
It would be really useful to have a function to add an item to an array variable. This should allow you to enter the name of an array variable (or even better, select it from a list) and provide the item input (string or object) and Fusion would add it to the list. There should be no need to provide the existing array contents as an input to the function like there is now with 'Set Variable'.This new function would save the repetition (especially within an iterator) of getting the variable then setting the variable again over and over. This would reduce Fusion operations and UI/config clutter.
Description: A HUGE issue for our company and use of the Workfront system. We need requests to house interactive proofs and then convert those requests into projects while keeping those interactive proofs and comments attached to the document. Why is this feature important to you: for our system to work correctly we need requesters to provide feedback and annotations or interactive proofs of their needs to our team - one of the main reasons we were sold on using the Workfront product in the first place was the functioning interactive proofing tool and this not working is a huge issue for our use case. How would you like the feature to work: converting issues or requests that have interactive documents/proofs to projects should move the proof and all of its functionality and comments to the converted project. Current Behaviour: when we convert an issue with a annotated proof to a project, the proof reverts to a pdf and looses all comments. &nbs
Description - It would be incredibly helpful to be able to default ALL the Communication and Information about Work Assigned to Me notifications to Instant. Some of them only default to daily and have to manually be set to instant when a new user is set up. Why is this feature important to you - We have had too many instances where this default wasn't reset and have lost 1/2 day to a day in communication responses because the recipient didn't get their notification until the next day. How would you like the feature to work - option to default all Notification options to Instant. Current Behaviour - the following Communication options default only to DailySomeone comments on a thread I'm inSomeone comments on one of my work itemsSomeone includes my team non a directed updateSomeone replies to my request The following Information about Work assigned to ME default only to Daily:A predecessor of one of my tasks is completeDocuments are uploaded o
Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Additional customisations are needed in the AEM notification section to receive specific notifications via email or display few of them in the notification box. It would also be beneficial to have support for third-party applications like Slack, enabling notifications for particular events. Enhancing the notification system with more options such as 'Acknowledged' or 'Read' statuses could further improve the user experience Use-case: Consider the following scenario: If duplicate asset detection is enabled and an author uploads a duplicate asset, a notification is triggered, indicating that a duplicate asset has been uploaded to the DAM. It might be more effective to send an email exclusively for this notification, or alternatively, to send a message to the designated Slack group. Current/Experienced Behavior: Notifications can either be sent via email for each instance or displayed in the notification area, depending on the
One suggestion that I would love to make to the Adobe team is - can we ask them to offer other data format options other than just CSV files? If the file format could be a modern file format like parquet, then that would also make our processing much more efficient. When we get the Adobe files, the first thing we have to do is pre-process them to format the files, because of the way they are structured. This slows down the entire process by a lot, and is also expensive.In brief: The format of the CSV files that are provided are not "splittable" to be able to be processed by a big data tool like Spark or Databricks. The reason is that there are new-line characters embedded in some of fields, and CSV files have to be processed serially when that is the case. This is an inherent limitation of the design of the CSV format. As a result, these huge files, which are multiple GB in size, have to be processed initially
I want to be able to display a date as a week number on a report. This should be the ISO week number. Instead of a date displayed as "March 9, 2017", I'd like to have the option to display it as "Week 10"
It would be awesome to have an option for the custom Date field to be able to put in a span of datesExample: we'll use the date field to ask when the event is, but they can only put 1 day in, but the event might run over several days.
Description: We are looking to expand our use of the Boards feature but keep hitting road blocks based on limitations in functionality. We were recently told that parent tasks can be pulled in as cards and child tasks would make up the checklist items on on the subsequent cards. However, we were told that the child tasks often pull in to the check list out of the order they appear on the project even if linked as predecessors. Furthermore, when we asked how/when this would be resolved, we were told that this was not ON the roadmap to address...That doesn't make sense to me or my team. Why is this feature important to you: Two reasons. Without have child tasks appropriately relating to check list items introduces confusion and risk into what should be a value add feature. In my view it's a blocker to expanding the use of boards and will inhibit my ability to scale this feature more broadly in my organization. How would you like the feature to work: project is creat
