Introduction to Workfront PlanningWhile project management tools can support with timelines, budgets, reviews and approvals, and measure how the work is getting done, these tools don’t facilitate the coordination and execution of strategic work. Moreover, they lack the ability to measure the impact that this work has on the customer experience.  However, Adobe Workfront Planning is an additional capability that Adobe Workfront offers. Adobe Workfront Planning helps organizations to go beyond the scope of regular project management capabilities, as it provides a single source of truth to connect disparate plans and data across marketing teams. The result of this connection is a marketing system of record that provides visibility into the marketing lifecycle from start to finish.Requirements for AccessYou must have the following to full access to all capabilities in Workfront Planning:A new Workfront package and license. Workfront Planning is not available for legacy Workfront packa

Server-side tag management offers several advantages over traditional client-side tag management, particularly in terms of performance, security, and data accuracy. Adobe event forwarding allows you to send collected event data from Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network to non-Adobe destinations for server-side processing, it is a powerful way to streamline data collection and distribution while improving website performance and data governance. Here are the key points about Adobe event forwarding: Purpose: It allows you to send data to third-party, non-Adobe vendors directly from Adobe's Edge Network instead of from the client-side browser (in some cases in addition to client side data sent). Benefits: Improved Website Performance: Server-side tag management reduces the load on the client’s browser by handling tag execution on the server. This leads to faster page load times and a better user experience, as fewer scripts need to be executed on the client side. Enhanced Data Secur

IntroductionQuery Quarantine is a new feature in Data Distiller designed to enhance system resource management by isolating repeatedly failing queries. This feature helps maintain operational efficiency and data integrity across platform-based applications such as RTCDP, AJO, and CJA. Key FeaturesAutomatic Isolation: Query Quarantine automatically identifies and isolates queries that fail 10 or more consecutive times by placing them in a Quarantined state1. This prevents wasted compute hours on consistently failing queries and allows for intervention before further execution.Enrollment Process: When creating a schedule, users can enroll their queries in the quarantine feature. This opt-in approach allows for targeted resource management.Inline Enrollment: Users can also enroll a scheduled query into the quarantine feature from the inline actions of the Scheduled Queries tab.Alert Subscription: Once a query is enrolled in the quarantine feature, users can subscribe to alerts for st

When a user is filling a form that has display logic, we noticed that when they fill in radio buttons and then go back to edit a field above, the fields they may have completed below would hide (as per display logic). However the responses to the questions are stored and this impacts reports and fusion scenario. It would be great that the data is deleted based on the display logic. Below is an example to explain what i mean;Question 1:YesNoQuestion 2:LeftRightLogic: display if 'Yes' selected on Q1Question 3YesNoLogic: display if 'No Selected on Q1If the user has selected 'Yes' against Q1 and then selected 'Left' against Q2 but then went back and updated Q1 to No - Q2 is no longer displayed but the response is still selected. They are unable to untick when its a radio button. 

Team - I am facing weird issue on graphql. I have created a persistent query and it works fine in GraphQL Explorer (/aem/graphiql.html) but the same is not working on PQ query.I have verified that the Content Fragment Model exists in AEM DAM, and I can see the correct response when running the same query in the GraphQL Explorer. But for some reason, it’s not working when accessed via the Persistent Query endpoint https://localhost:4502/graphql/execute.json/e-commerce/commerce-content;contentFragmentLocation=/content/dam/commerce/us/clothing-all/category1/2024/sub-category/belt-1;variation=master Any idea what does it mean by "did not yield a Content Fragment"?{ "errors": [ { "message": "Exception while fetching data (/commerce-content) : Path: '/content/dam/commerce/us/clothing-all/category1/2024/sub-category/belt-1' did not yield a Content Fragment", "locations": [ { "line": 2, "column": 3 } ], "path": [ "commerceContentByPath" ], "extensions": { "classification": "DataFetch

I'm really curious about how some of you are using Workfront planning and reporting on the same? Currently, I see challenges with connecting tasks, reporting on record types in Workfront's inherent reporting and exporting tables out of Workfront planning. So I'm eager to see how it can be used as is in the most efficient manner. for folks new to Workfront Planning. Here is what I'm referring to - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/adobe-workfront-planning/adobe-workfront-planning-general-information/planning-overview

I want to start by saying that it has been a long time since I've taken the practitioner exam (MCE back in the day) and while this is true I believe that the guide I have here, the practice tests, and the resources I share are still relevant for today's exam. If you see anything that needs to be updated or you think there is some new information I should include then please let me know in the comments 🙂   There are 2 Business Practitioner exams: the Professional exam and the Expert exam.   The Practitioner Professional exam is the replacement for the old Certified Associate exam. While I took the Certified Associate exam back in June 2019, I have not taken the new Business Practitioner Professional exam.   However, looking at the Practitioner Professional exam guide and some sample test questions, the exam looks to be a straightforward exam assessing the basics of marketing operations and Marketo that anyone who has been using Marketo for a few months s

Workfront’s robust reporting capabilities combine real-time data with customized dashboards for a powerful visual of how work is being done across the entire organization. The reporting tools and standard user interface is easy to use, however, with so many report options to select, it can be a challenge in figuring out which object type to start with or which filter or grouping to apply.  This week’s blog will focus on common reporting challenges across multiple objects with simple action items to give you the data you need.  RECORD COUNT OF PROJECTS Common Challenge: I want to see a list, or record count, of all projects that I’m assigned to. How can I get this information without running a task report, grouping it by project name, and then counting the number of projects?  Solution: Currently, there is not a native field within Workfront that can provide you with a record count of projects, so advanced text mode is required.

Bulk Asset Reprocessing in AEM as a Cloud Service Assets by Daniel Klco Abstract AEM as a Cloud Service Assets (AEMCS Assets) introduces a new method for processing assets, Asset Compute. With Asset Compute, newly uploaded assets are processed in the Adobe Runtime I/O microservice framework. The advantage to this new architecture, is that this offloads the CPU and memory-heavy work of rendering renditions and reading metadata from binaries to a scalable, cloud framework vs being limited by (and even overwhelming) the server running AEM. Along with this new architecture, a new feature in AEM Cloud Service Assets is that you can request reprocessing of assets. Reprocessing will send the assets through the entire processing flow, regenerating all renditions and overriding the metadata with newly extracted metadata from the asset. To reprocess assets, select an asset (or a folder) and click the reprocess button: Select Assets for Reprocessing Then configure how you want the assets to b

The session highlighted a new AI Generative tool named Adobe Firefly (Beta) and are expected to make further announcements on additional products, integrations and improvements in the coming days. We at Perficient look for opportunities to improve our cust

Introduction As WebSDK gains momentum, there tends to be questions from clients about leveraging previous features in the previous Target library at.js. One of those features was at.js Custom Events. This feature could come in handy as it allowed you to hook into a mbox to notify you when at.js is loading, starts, succeeds, and fails. A common use case was to use these custom events to kick off some sort of notification process to let a client know that their test was running correctly or there was an error that needed to be looked into further.Comparing the TwoThe good news is that the product team has developed an equivalent feature for WebSDK, these are called monitoring hooks. Naturally the first question that comes to mind is what are the equivalent monitoring hooks compared to the at.js custom events?Here is a table I created to map out the equivalent monitoring hook based on the previous custom event,Sample Implementation Let’s take a look at a sample implementation I’

Are you planning to attend the lab "Transform Site Data into Strategic Success & Action with Workfront [L316]" at Adobe Summit this year? Session leaders @karthiksuripedd and @surc will be monitoring this thread for any post-lab questions you may have.   While the session is no longer available, you can view the lab resources below.   Session Details   Insights generated from Adobe Analytics are often communicated via email to report users like the marketing team. However, the lack of clear next steps, delays in reaching the right people, and the analytics data existing outside of marketing work streams means that timely action on crucial insights is hindered. All this results in missed opportunities and delayed, or lost, market impact. Learn an end-to-end integration between Adobe Workfront and Adobe Analytics in which captured insights result in the right work priorities assigned to the right teams for immediate action.   In this lab: Create

Hi,I've integrated my on-premise AEM Author 6.5 server with an external LDAP server.Some groups are already present in the CMS, including, for example, the "administrators" group.In the LDAP server, my user account has been assigned the "administrators" profile. However, during the login process, even though the LDAP server correctly returns the associated group, no group is assigned to the user in AEM.This is the message I find in the logs:org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.spi.security.authentication.external.basic.DefaultSyncContext - idp returned 'administrators'org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.spi.security.authentication.external.basic.DefaultSyncContext Existing authorizable 'administrators' is not a group from this IDP 'ldap-externalModule'.The same issue also occurs with other groups, not just with "administrators".Any idea how I can resolve this issue?Thanks!

Have you ever wondered how Marketo processes campaigns and why some take longer to run than others? Then buckle in because this post will do a deep dive on how Marketo assigns campaign priority and also covers how and when you should use the campaign priority override feature.   How does Marketo Prioritize Campaigns?   Marketo uses a “last-in, last-out” queue method for processing smart campaigns along with the priority of the smart campaigns in the queue. Trigger and batch campaigns each have their own queue and within each queue, the priority of the smart campaigns is determined by the flow steps in each smart campaign.   Priority Flow Action High Send email (triggered)Send alert Medium Request CampaignInteresting MomentCreate TaskConvert / Delete LeadAdd to / Remove from ListChange Sales Owner / Progression Status / Revenue Stage / Field in ProgramChange Member of / Add to / Remove fromSync to SFDCChange Status in SFDC Campaign Low Change data valueChange
