Authors: Jaemi Bremner (@Jaemi_Bremner), Peter Fransen (@meatcouch), and Chetan Prasad (@praschetan). In late 2016 we embarked on a journey to reimagine our existing Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDKs. There were a few concrete goals in mind, as well as a few nice-to-haves. First and foremost we wanted to implement an extensible and pluggable architecture that would allow for incremental additions of functionality, both internally developed and from partners and customers alike. Additionally, we wanted to build platform-independent logic that was easily portable across various client devices and operating systems. Lastly, we wanted to ensure that the various performance metrics that we track for the SDK (CPU time, memory consumption, binary size, stability) remained at least the same as our pre-existing SDKs. Language selection With our baseline requirements and architectures in hand, we moved on to the selection of the underlying language(s) that could be used to achieve or e

Hi All,I came to a scenario where I need to create an anchor tag without href attribute using RTE component. I am able to create anchor tag using HTML option in RTE, but the thing is that anchor tag is getting skipped by tab index and never focused.

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

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

Oftentimes, similar information is requested by multiple users, teams or departments. Rather than creating individualized reports for each user who reaches out, alleviate duplicate efforts by applying date and user-based wildcard filters. Wildcards can be applied to report filters so the results are dynamic and change based on the context in which they are used. Date-based wildcards, $$TODAY and $$NOW, allow for results to auto-update based on the dynamic date range entered in. Common examples include this week, last month or next year.User-based wildcards generalize reports so the results change based on who is logged in and viewing the report. While there are several variations, the most commonly used is $$USER.ID.Below are 3 simple, yet must-have reports for team members using wildcards. Click on the name of each report to download a 1-page guide with step-by-step report creation instructions. Then, share the reports with users who are typically assigned work, or add them all t

Have you ever wanted to try a new process, custom form, access level, template—or anything else—without making changes to your production environment?  Did you know that Workfront provides all customers with a test environment so you can safely experiment with new ideas? This test environment is known as the Preview Sandbox. The Preview Sandbox contains your actual production data. It refreshes every weekend, so data can be up to one week behind what’s in your production environment.  To access this test environment, system administrators can click into Setup > System > Preferences > Preview Sandbox. For all other users, simply navigate to https://domain.preview.workfront.com and you should be prompted with a login screen. If you are unsure of what your domain is, look at your Workfront URL—the text prior to .my.workfront.com is your domain. In the screenshot below, the domain is nicholevargas. Below are a few common questions regardi

Have you tried using calendars within Workfront? If you haven’t yet but are curious about how it works, or are a current calendars user looking to level up your project visibility, this one’s for you.  First, though, let’s start from the beginning. What are calendars, anyway? Calendars are a type of dynamic reporting within Workfront. It’s a tool designed to help you visualize important dates and milestones by reporting on three key objects: 1) Issues 2) Tasks 3) Projects Calendar reports allow you to get closer to firm project dates by displaying planned/actual completion dates, any custom date field and custom form data as calendar entries in relation to other competing dates. You can use this to show milestones, assigned work (think capacity), and see deadline clusters. Plus, multiple users can view a single calendar report. It’s truly all about project visualization. Pretty handy, right? Here’s an overview tutorial page on basic calendar functionality that’ll

Why share your expertise? You are not alone   Customers often share that they feel siloed. There is value in connecting with other administrators to help, learn from, and elevate each other to accomplish goals faster. Everyone wants to be part of a family - or a community - of individuals who they can trust, depend on, and lean on for guidance.Others need your story - share it to teach and impact those who are just starting their enterprise work management journey within their organization. We are stronger and better together!You are doing big things  You are doing amazing work every day in your organization. This is an opportunity to highlight your story to show others the impact that you’re making, to paint a picture of what is possible, and to help guide others on their journey. As you transform work management within your organization, you’ll achieve positive, measurable results, move toward fulfilling your success story, and creating true competitive

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

Where is the first place you, or your users look for new, in progress or completed work? For some of you that means navigating to the Home area and for others, checking a dashboard that has been applied to your layout template, and still for some it means receiving an email notification to proceed.  No matter how you manage your work, Workfront offers a variety of ways to help. It is important that you find the option that works best for you and your team, but be advised that what works best for you may not be the case for your users, so keep that in mind as you look to drive adoption across the organization. Below are three recommended ways to help users find their work with detailed benefits of each.  HOME A one-stop shop to find tasks, issues, and approvals assigned to you, the Home area offers two different ways to view your work — a Work List or Calendar. The built-in filter and sort options support you in working the way that you want, including giving you an option

As a remote employee, each day starts the same way (after the long trek down the stairs to my office). I first open Workfront Home to see what tasks and issues need to be completed “today”, what new updates did I receive and what is in the line-up for the remainder of the week. Then I open Gmail and Slack to evaluate new messages received. Am I being asked to do something?; 1) If yes, and it can be done in less than 2 minutes - I do it, 2) If yes, and it will take longer than 2 minutes to do, it is deferred or delegated. With either it is put into Workfront as a task or issue on an existing project, entered as an ad hoc task, or turned into a new project. Assignments are either self assigned (deferred) or assigned to somebody else (delegated), 3) If no, it is either “filed for later”, or “deleted”. All communications received during the normal work day are evaluated the same way.This is my way to ensure I get all my work in Workfront. I fully believe that work that is not in Workfront
