Popup ads?

Hi, Heather! I only wish that was the case. I have been registered for months now for LEAP. :-( Eileen Womelsdorf SEI Global Marketing Operations, Resource Management Developer | Arranger | Individualization | Relator | Empathy SEI New ways.

Have you also registered for your sessions? Session registration was just opened a couple weeks ago. I'm just throwin' out guesses here :)

Heather, good thought but I have signed up for my sessions too and I still go the pop-up today. Marla Driver

Good thought! But I registered for the sessions when they opened as well. ;-) Eileen Womelsdorf SEI Global Marketing Operations, Resource Management Developer | Arranger | Individualization | Relator | Empathy SEI New ways.

Can we confirm this is going out to users? As far as I can tell, it is only targeting system admin access levels, but I'd like to be sure. -skye

Hey guys, Skye is correct. I just checked with the team and only US system admins have received this message. I'll continue to pass along your feedback about these type of pop ups. Thanks, Kyna

Kyna, Glad to hear this is the case, insomuch as I don't have to listen to grief from hundreds of users. Lessens my ire somewhat...but not completely. Can Workfront just stick to the in-system notifications and emails , please ? Don't interrupt me with popups...they only serve as an irritant, not encouragement. Kevin Quosig

Kyna and everyone else, if it would help the cause, I've gone ahead and created an Idea in the idea exchange for folks to upvote. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000XhvKAAS/detail everyone, please vote to include a setting in the setup area so that we can opt out of ads on the login screen and anything that might pop up after login. -skye

I'm curious – why would this not be a break-fix ticket. This is something that from feedback shows – no one requested and everyone is finding intrusive. Why should an idea exchange post be necessary to request the removal of something that was A) never communicated to us would happen and B) not part of any release?

Thanks Skye; upvoted and vented in comments. Christina, you have a point but...it's the system we have. I'm one step away from a harsh complaint to our account rep. Had we known about this sort of behavior it might have been a big strike against choosing Workfront. I'm sure that harsh complaint will be the next time I'm having a bad day and the "Would you recommend WF to a colleague?" banner slinks up from the bottom of the browser window (beware the answers from my users; WF might be encouraged to turn it off for that reason alone...). I suppose I'm a bit over-angry because we're finding so much to dislike and be frustrated about Workfront since deployment that the ads in all their forms just come across as unmitigated gall on their part. "Your product has so many shortcomings and you think it's okay to bother me and/or my users without permission!?!" Okay...I'm going to go find some purring kittens to relax with...peace! Kevin Quosig
