Thank you for attending our lab and apologies for my absence in this thread up until now.  Attaching the two .json files for the scenarios we covered in the lab.  Hope to get you a copy of the lab book via email in the next week or two. 

[ewanh]

All!

You should have received the lab book in the email this morning.  Let us know if you did not. 

Thank you,

Ewan

Hi all,

Here is the documentation on the Boards Connector: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/adobe-workfront-fusion/fusion-apps-and-mo...

Thank you!

[ewanh]

We've added two new modules to the Workfront Boards Fusion Connector along with a new section "Comments".

• Create a comment 
• Read card comments

These could potentially be used to enhance the notifications that Workfront sends and help accommodate for email notification needs on non-connected cards.

Hello everyone!

We received the feedback from the survey and we wanted to follow up here with the results and any of the constructive comments that were provided.  While the results were generally positive I am noting a couple of themes in the responses. 

1. Sounds like we covered too much material

2. Sounds like we went too fast for some and too slow for others (ties to #4)

3. Sounds like we could have used more TAs. 

4. Sounds like we could have done a better job on setting expectations around experience level.

5. Sounds like people wanted more explanation of the use cases, the benefits of and understanding "why" we chose those and "what" the value may be from each.

These are all things we will be looking to address in preparation for next year's Summit labs.  We appreciate all of your feedback as it helps us improve. 

In addition, it sounds like some folks were frustrated by the move to the digital format of the lab books since 2023.  I will share that feedback with the lab oversight team.
