Product Communities

Although proof comments are displayed in the updates stream of the document object and parent object, if a user edits their proof comment, that is not reflected at all in the updates stream. We are aware from our support rep that other customers have requested this as an enhancement as well and we believe it would be a strong product update to consider. In our processes where content is reviewed by our Legal/Compliance partners, it is imperative that comments are reflected accurately in the updates section. Each project lead has to go through long pages to scroll through the proof for certain comments and the updates section provides a quick summary of who commented and what they said. Since edits to the comments, which could be quite different from the original comment, are not captured, this could and has led to confusion and misinformation being distributed among teams.

Would be nice to have nickname field field added. We have many Users that have abbreviated names.

We have some goals that require more wording than the text boxes currently allow. Please remove, or at least increase, the character limit for goals.

It would be ideal if the Alignment Score from the Portfolio Optimizer would feed both Workfront Goals and Scenario Planner. This would allow alignment for corporate goals (KPIs) from a Project level all the way up through Program to Portfolio Level to be realized in Goals. It would also allow not only a hypothetical alignment, but also a real one when executing what-if scenarios in the Scenario Planner. This would create an End-to-End alignment ensuring your company, or in our case group of companies stays aligned in real time across all platform.

In Custom forms, the ability to embed graphics/images. In our specific case, we have a "springboard" process graphics from our original Word-based forms to remind people of the submission prep before filing a request. Yeah, we can have a URL link to it within WorkFront, but we really want it to stare users in the face every time. :)

It would be useful if the functionality could be added so that links from system tokens, including view online and forward to a friend, could be appended with UTM parameters for tracking in Google Analytics.

As an analyst I want to be able to create metrics defined by a merchandising dimension (Product). This is important to us as we want to create metrics for everyone to use in the business and have insights on: % of units or revenue from full price products only, collections(created with Product classification) KPI's etcThe created calculated metric (example: Units metric of one specific product or merch dimension) should only return data specified by the dimension and not any additional dimension data that were on the same hit.At the moment when creating a calculated metric with a merchandising feature (example: Product dimension for Units metric), Adobe will return data for other products that were in the same order. 

Description - Add a search facility in Target UI; so a search by URL makes it much easier and more productive to locate activities based on the URL especially using multiple workspaces. A facility asked by clients in support tickets.Why is this feature important to you - As a support engineer it is easier to locate activities sharing the same URL by this search facility. Good for debugging also. A search facility will really help us and customers a lot.How would you like the feature to work - Like a simple search bar e.g. search by URL, activity name, start date etc etc etcCurrent Behaviour - This does not exist at moment; which makes it very cumbersome to locate activities of interest @jason_hickey 

Description - When using the Adobe Analytics connector in Power BI, sometimes there is a refresh and zero rows are returned for one or multiple queries against the API. This results in the report showing no data, especially if the query related to a key fact table/data. The API should instead error out so that Power BI fails on the refresh. This would leave data from the previous day in the report AND notify the dataset owner that their refresh had failed.Why is this feature important to you - Users going to see a report with no data is far worse than just seeing old data. We show how old the data is in a report and missing one day isn't a big deal, but having the report go blank makes it useless. How would you like the feature to work - The API should return an error if its out of resources or at some threshold limit. Current Behaviour - From a support request, this is what is happening today: “The API quota limit is 20K calls per hour per Analytics company for 1.3/1.4

Description - An AA logo indicator or label indicating type of plan used eg select, prime etc Easier for clients to differentiate which version that have or want to haveWhy is this feature important to you - I deal with support tickets and often clients are trying something but it is not part of their AA instance or enabled for their AA instance I believe a simple label and logo which links to versions urls will help a lot I could also see the marketing value in that not all practitioners know there might be more features they could use if their org paid for them. If clicking the indicator could show what they're missing, it might help launch discussions internally within customers to make the case for more advanced options.How would you like the feature to work - a logo or label that links to a URL describing AA type eg prime features etcCurrent Behaviour - only via admin menu eg company settings 

Is it possible to store and use You Tube videos in Design Studio? We are building our master programs for our field teams to clone - in the master is a thank you for registering page which is built according to the type of webinar ie other assets are available on the thank you page. In the case of You Tube, we want to embed one of our corporate find out more videos, but looks like they have to be added to the program - we assume this means the asset will get duplicated every time the master is cloned and we won't get a top-line view of the asset's performance as the results will be in each program. Have we missed something or is this an idea for Marketo?

I was wondering if Adobe had any future development plans to allow a client to request a list of IDs that are currently setup in a given recommendations environment.  Right now, I feel like only 2 of the 3 pieces exist to effectively manage entities.  I can use the GET entities to retrieve an entity, and I can use DELETE to delete an entity.  But, there doesn't seem to be a mechanism to simply get a list of ids that are present in the environment.  If this capability existed, one could theoretically download the list of ids and easily do the equivalent of a full join operation (against internal systems) and easily determine if any entities were missing (and then post with a SAVE request) and entities that were obsolete (and then remove with a DELETE request).  

Description - One of the limitations of using the setVar() function to create a data element rather than the Launch interface is that you have no control over the storage duration.Please can you consider adding control over storage duration?Why is this feature important to you - Improved flexibilityHow would you like the feature to work -An additional optional parameter that allows you to choose the same storage duration as the Launch interface i.e. none, page view, session, visitor For example:_satellite.setVar('product', 'Circuit Pro', 'session'); Current Behaviour -No control over storage duration of data elements set using the setVar() function

As a media/publishing company, we want to exclude all the previously viewed items from the recommendations. This is at the moment not possible out of the box. We have seen that for the Ecommerce industry there is a "Recommend Previously Purchased Items" toggle. It would be good that for Media/Publishing companies it exists out of the box for "Viewed" items.

It would be super helpful if I could have a report that lists all our webinars by program name with columns that show the number of live registrations, no shows, on-demand registrations. I can only group by Acquisition Program now but want to group by Program name. Right now I have to look at each webinar program individually, a nice pivoted table would be wonderful.    Example:  Webinar Program 1 - 100 live regs  - 50 on demand regs Webinar Program 2 - 100 live regs  - 50 on demand regs Webinar Program 3 - 100 live regs  - 50 on demand regs Webinar Program 4 - 100 live regs  - 50 on demand regs

Actual Completion Date (ACD) of a task is influenced by all child items: tasks, sub-tasks , sub-sub task etc and the connected issues.ACD should be always the biggest ACD of all sub items, independently of the time of creation of the ACD on the sub item. As add on: it would be beneficial if the change of the ACD on the task, triggered by a child object, is shown in the update stream.

I'd like to propose that Adobe Target have similar reporting capabilities as Adobe Analytics has when it comes to administrative reports. The reason for this is really so we can audit and maintain records of the Target implementation and usage.License usage logsEnriching the Target admin API requestsAdding the Target activity used when querying a Target audienceAdding the location (url) of the Target activity when querying the Target activity

Description -  When using multiple audiences in an AB Test, QA URLs do not work unless you also qualify for the audience. This makes validation prior to launch in some cases impossible. Audience qualification should not be required for simply validating the experience response from Target.Why is this feature important to you - It is not always possible to organically qualify for an audienceHow would you like the feature to work - This should work like any other QA URL...regardless of audience qualification, a QA url should force you into the expected experience and return the appropriate response.Current Behaviour - AB Tests with multiple audiences require you to also qualify for the audience in order to use QA URLs

When client's have an SSO portal that only allows individuals to log into WF via a link on their portal, there are some notification complications. If that user receives a notification with a link to the object in WF, and they click the link, they will get an error message because the native link in WF does not have the information appended to it that would inform the SSO portal on where to send the user. This is regardless of whether or not the user is logged into WF. This is a complicated scenario but a very real scenario. So, it basically devalues the communication coming out of WF.The fix would be the ability to do deep linking. In other words, in the notifications area the option to add a suffix or prefix to the native url that is being sent out via the notification. I think this warrants additional discussion with more technically savvy individuals, which I can facilitate as needed.

Currently when we put a date in the Actual Completion Date field the system marks the issue as "Closed" and I've been told there's no way to change this. However, we have resolution of an Issue set up to show as "Resolved". So when we utilize the Mark As Done feature it marks the issue as "Resolved" as it's supposed to. There's a difference between Closed and Resolved. It would be nice if the system recognized both features and they both resorted to the same resolution type. It's confusing and requires a learning curve to teach users.

It is great to see how many API calls there are over the 7 days period from the UI and which API user is making X amount of calls. However, it would be great to take it a step further and have more real time reporting. I have several engineers reach out to me saying their calls are taking forever to make it to Marketo. It would be nice to see a list of running API jobs (Similar to the Campaign Queue) to understand why it is taking so long and the other jobs that are running concurrently. 

Currently the Change the Default From Email and From Label an Admin-only function. It'd be great if, as an Admin, I could set these as defaults for my whole instance and all users (one step further would be to make them conditional to the channel tags). Alternatively, have a way for individual users to set this for themselves as default other than their details in ‘My account’? This will prevent some mistakes and save effort of having to update the values on each new email created.  

Smartsheet has some great automated notification capabilities that I think Workfront could benefit from. For example, being able to set up an automated notification to selected individuals when new issues are added to a specific project (not globally). Or when the status of an issue within a specific project changes, automatically notify the person who entered in the issue. The global notifications are really hard to manage when a wide variety of teams are using the same instance so any project or request-specific capabilities would be fantastic!

Description -Please add the ability to search "resource changes" in the edit library screen.   At the moment it is possible to search "resources upstream" but not the "resource changes" which seems odd as it is the changes you are work on and therefore most interested in 🙂Why is this feature important to you -Improved workflow/easy of use:  We often have a lot of changes in a library. Without the search functionality it's difficult to find things.How would you like the feature to work -Add a search box at the top of the resource changes list.Current Behaviour -One can only search "resources upstream" but not "resource changes" in the edit library screen

When creating a layout templates, allow the Backlog page to be hidden in the navigation panel and also the Hide/unhide button for the Backlog list on the Kanban view. This will enable access control for agile team members who don't need access to the backlog.
