How can we limit character count in the title field when creating a page in the Touch UI, AEM 6.2? The wizard renders it via the cq:dialog node of the page properties dialog of the template's component, but I don't see where to add the js validation in the code. Thanks.

Getting XML from Adaptive form fragment submit

I am using AEM 6.2 on Windows 7. I have an adaptive form embedded on a plain page. I am validating/submitting the adaptive form using an external button and  GuideBridge. See (Fragment.txt) attached.

The adaptive form contains an adaptive form fragment.

"===================="

Plain Page

--AdaptiveForm ("Last Name")

----Adaptive Form Fragment ("Leader Name")

"===================="

 

The data in the fragment does not show up in the XML. (Data: Last Name: "last", Leader Name: "leader")

See "XML data received" log message.[0]. The problem here is the "Leader Name" does not show in the XML.

Any idea why? Am I using the wrong API to get the XML for the fragment?

Is guideBridge.getDataXML({ .... success : function (guideResultObject) {

console.log("XML data received" + guideResultObject.data);

not correct?

How to Remove CQ Generated DIVS from Publish mode but not from Edit mode in Touch UI

HI,

I am using cq:htmlTag node to remove the cq generated divs.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"
    cq:tagName=""
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    class=""
    id=""/>

 

This node does the intended work, but what it also does it that if I drop my component(having this node) in a parsys, then in that case I am unable to drop another component in the same parsys.

I want to remove the cq generated divs only in edit mode else not or I should be able to drag and drop the other components in the same parsys and also edit each of the dropped component.

Kindly help.

Attachments on DoR

Using AEM Forms, I am binding an Adaptive Form with a XDP template created using designer for DoR. Requirement is, on AEM Forms, if I attach some image files, those images should be displayed on the Review PDF (DoR PDF). I cannot see even the attachment and what I see DoR might not support attachment component display, or attached images displayed on generated PDF.

In addition, say I have a process of 5 steps each step being a form. Therefore, I have 5 forms for the process. In the end user can review the consolidated data from 5 forms including attachments and can also go back and update some data and review again. How to create this consolidated data view in read-only mode ?

Thanks in advance !

Applying Styples on Adaptive Form Templates, created using Template Editor

Hi,

I am creating Adaptive Form Templates, using Template Editor.

Please suggest how to apply styles.

I do see a setting "CSS File". But how to make a specific CSS file available to it?

Should we store it in a specific path in JCR and mention its full path?

If I cant succeed in applying styles, I have to resort to manual way of creating templates, not using Template Editor.

Appreciate your support.

Thanks,

Rama.

Welcome to the Activation forum!

Welcome to the Activation forum!  

We're glad you're here. If you have any questions about the Activation core service or Dynamic Tag Managment (DTM), feel free to create a post or join an existing discussion. Below are a few items to get you started:

 

What is the Activation core service?

The Adobe Marketing Cloud Activation core service is comprised of the dynamic tag management technology. Activation lets marketers control data collection, distribution, and activation of experiences via an intuitive, rules-based interface for increased marketing agility and decreased dependence on IT.

Additional technologies will be added to the Activation core service at a future date.

 

Why should I be interested in Activation?

Spend less time implementing and more time marketing

Problem:
Many digital marketers spend a significant amount of time deploying, or waiting on analytics tracking. In many cases, these marketers depend on IT to help them implement new tracking that stems from rapidly evolving business requirements. This dependency can lead to months-long fulfillment cycles that slow measurement, and ultimately, insights.

Solution:
Using the Activation core service with Adobe Analytics, marketers can quickly add tracking to their sites, campaigns, and content, without burdening IT. From a single interface, Activation allows marketers to deploy Adobe Analytics tracking using rules that can intelligently implement tracking on one part of a web page, only on certain pages, or across an entire website in just minutes.

 

How does the Activation core service work?

Example: A multinational hotel and resort chain enhances their website experience by offering additional photos and information when a customer hovers over a room image. The marketing team wants to gain insight from this new feature, to see which rooms their customer segments prefer. However, they know the customer often hovers over many rooms before they land the mouse cursor over the room they're interested in learning more about. To filter out these irrelevant interactions, the marketing team wants to track only the hover states that engage for three seconds or longer. The marketers use Activation to build a single a rule that lets Analytics track only the interactions they're interested in, across their entire website. What used to take months to accomplish is completed by the hotel’s marketers in a matter of hours.

 

How do I get started?

  1. Ensure your organization is enabled for the Adobe Marketing Cloud
  2. Visit the "Getting Started..." documentation and read through the five-part guide.
  3. Watch training videos on Enterprise TV
  4. Follow our Digital Marketing blog. Twitter users can also follow @RudiShumpert & @AdobeMktgCare for the latest and greatest
  5. Install one of the DTM plugins for debugging
  6. Log into DTM and start adding tools and rules

Id sync via Email

Hi,

From an Adobe Audience Manager perspective, it appears, we could pass an email ID as parameter to "id sync" the user without the need for the user to "authenticate" on site. Any issues to look out for with this method?

Also, what should the query string look like to pass the email ID? Should it look like the below?

http://dpm.demdex.net/ibs:dpid=<VENDOR_ID>&dpuuid=<VENDOR_UUID>&redir=<REDIRECT_URL>

Any assistance or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

First steps with Adobe Campaign Standard? Learn its key concepts

You are new to Adobe Campaign Standard and would like to know how to start using it? This topic is made for you. Let's have a look on the first things you need to know to use Campaign's core features.

.1. Getting familiar with user interface and key concepts

  • Accessing Adobe Campaign Standard
    To access Adobe Campaign, simply go to marketing.adobe.com and log in using your Adobe ID. To be able to log in, you must have received an email invitation to access Adobe Marketing Cloud. Once in Adobe Marketing Cloud, you will be able to open Adobe Campaign Standard and any other solution that is available for your account. The Marketing Cloud platform is the central place of your ecosystem, providing you with access to solutions and to core services that help solutions to work with each other (audience and asset sharing, etc.).
    Access management is carried out by a functional administrator of your Adobe Marketing Cloud platform. 
  • User interface
    This interface is intended for web browsers. It is completely resizable and therefore automatically adapts to the media on which it is used: desktop computer or tablet. Every element is compatible with the use of a mouse or touchscreen. The navigation principles are common to all of Adobe Marketing Cloud solutions. They are detailed in the presentation of the latest general platform update: https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/mcloud/whatsnew-spring-2016.html.
  • Profiles
    In Adobe Campaign Standard, profiles are one of the core elements. Thanks to the profile data stored in the database, you will be able to filter the target that will receive any given delivery and to add personalization data in your delivery contents. Other types of profiles exist in the database. They are designed for different uses. For example, test profiles are made to test your deliveries before they are sent to the final target.
  • Audiences
    An audience is a set of individuals (or of resources) who match the same segmentation criteria. Depending on the way they are created - file import, workflow segmentation, etc. - audiences can be dynamic or static. They can be reused in deliveries, workflows, and in some cases shared with your other Marketing Cloud solutions.
  • Query editor tool
    The Adobe Campaign query tool can be found on multiple levels of the software: to create a target population, segment customers, extract and filter resources, build filters, etc. Using drag & drop, you can set conditions on fields of the database and filter the data you want to extract by adding and combining rules. You can the collect, sort and display results based on your needs.

 

.2. Marketing campaigns

  • Programs and campaigns
    Several tools are available to help you organize your deliveries.  From programs to calendars, you can plan your future campaigns, see what are the ongoing campaigns, and keep track and compare the results of your past campaigns.
  • Targeting
    The first step of sending a delivery is targeting the right population. This operation can be done directly by performing simple queries within the delivery or by creating audiences that can be reused later. You can achieve complex targeting by querying not only data from a single resource but also from linked resources. You also have the possibility to create segmentation workflows to combine different sets of population (unions, intersections, exclusions, etc.).
  • Email delivery
    The email channel is the main and most used channel in Adobe Campaign. It allows you to mass deliver personalized electronic messages to your customers. To do that, you have many options available to help you define the content, personalize it with recipients or related data, supervise delivery execution and track its results through logs and reports.
    Other channels are available, each one having its own specificities, such as mobile (SMS) and push notifications.
  • Email delivery templates
    Each delivery is based on a predefined template. Templates can be used to define parameters that will be common for a set of deliveries. This way, it's not necessary to go through all parameters every time a new delivery is created, and, as most of them are advanced, it is easier for non-technical end users to focus on content and target recipients. For example, different editing modes can be used for the content: Adobe Campaign and Adobe Experience Manager. Depending on how this parameter is set, content edition will be different and will require different knowledge or solutions. By setting this in the template, you can save precious time.

 

.3. Reporting and managing non deliverables 

  • Delivery indicators and tracking
    For each delivery, indicators show you how many messages were sent, how many were actually received, etc. Numbers can differ from the initial target count because of typology/pressure rules, opt-outs, black-lists, quarantines, etc. Being able to track deliveries is the key to measure success and learn more about your customers. Tracking information is stored in a dedicated table and allows you to monitor how many times an email was opened, which recipients clicked a specific link inside that email, etc. These indicators can be found from the delivery dashboard or in the delivery logs.
  • Reports
    A lot of different reports are available to help you measure not only individual deliveries but sets of deliveries and campaigns as well. This way you can compare overall performance between different campaigns or between similar campaigns over quarters or even years for example.

 

.4. Subscriptions and Services

  • Services
    Adobe Campaign enables you to create and administer information services such as newsletters and to manage the subscriptions to these services. Several services can be defined in parallel, for example: specialist newsletters for certain product categories, themes or areas of a website, subscriptions to various types of alert messages and real-time notifications. Recipients will be able to subscribe (opt-in) and unsubscribe (opt-out) to services through Web forms and you will be able to monitor and track these subscriptions.
  • Landing pages
    Adobe Campaign integrates a graphical module for defining and publishing Web forms to create pages containing input and selection fields, and which may include data in the database. This lets you design and post web pages which users can access to view or enter information, such as registration or subscription pages.

Multiple Customer Attribute Files

Are there any potential "gotchas" or concerns with mapping multiple customer attribute files to Adobe Target.

Each File would represent a separate customer group based on membership level and site/country

Example:

Member US

Member UK

Each would be mapped to target. Each would be mapped to it's own report suite.

 

Thanks!

Welcome to the Audiences Forum!

Welcome to the Audiences forum!  

We're glad you're here. If you have any questions about Audiences or Adobe's People core service, feel free to create a post or join an existing discussion. Below are a few items to get you started:

What are Audiences?

Audiences are collections of visitors (a list of visitor IDs). Adobe's audience services manage the translation of visitor data into audience segmentation. As such, creating and managing audiences is similar to creating and using segments, with the added ability to share the audience segment to the Marketing Cloud.

Why should I be interested in Audiences?

Make more meaningful connections - Create a comprehensive view of individual customers by connecting Adobe and non-Adobe data in your Adobe Marketing Cloud solutions. Figure out what matters most to them as they interact across touchpoints. Recognize familiar consumers when they visit from unfamiliar devices. Even group users into audiences for targeted marketing efforts.

Feature request: share workspace project 'template'

Hi,

Currently it is not possible to share a project with a user that doesn't have access to the same report suite in which the project was built. Therefore it would be really helpful to share a project ('template' so to speak) such that other users can at least copy this and bind it to their own report suite where they have access to.

Hi there, there is no mention of Audience Manager on this page (https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/mcloud/subscription.html) regarding setup as a subscriber to a Customer Attributes file.

Does this mean you can't create Audience Manager segments based off attributes uploaded via the Customer Attributes functionality?

First steps with Adobe Campaign v6? Key concepts

You are new to Adobe Campaign and would like to know how to start using it? This topic is made for you. Let's have a look on the first things you need to know to use Campaign's core features.

 

.1. Getting familiar with user interface and key concepts

  • Connecting to the database
    The first time you open the Adobe Campaign console, you need to access the server connection settings to add a connection. By specifying the server's URL, you will then be able to log in to your Adobe Campaign account with the credentials provided by your administrator. If you need to connect using an Adobe ID, don't forget to check the Connect with an Adobe ID option in the connection settings.
  • User interface
    Once you are connected to the database, you access the Adobe Campaign v6.1 home page, which is a dashboard: it is made up of links and shortcuts which let you access the elements linked to applications installed (Delivery, Campaign, MRM, etc.) as well as general platform configurations. Two navigation modes are available: the "universe" mode, made of dashboards that are easy to use and the "explorer" mode, that gives access to more options and details. 
  • Recipients
    In Adobe Campaign, recipients are the default profiles targeted for sending deliveries (emails, SMS, etc.). Thanks to the recipient data that are stored in the database, you will be able to filter the target that will receive any given delivery and to add personalization data in your delivery contents. Other types of profiles exist in the database. They are designed for different uses. For example, seed profiles are made to test your deliveries before they are sent to the final target.
  • Lists
    A list is a static set of recipients that can be targeted in delivery actions or updated during import operations or during workflow execution. For example, a population extracted from the database via a query can supply a list.
  • Query editor tool
    The Adobe Campaign query tool can be found on multiple levels of the software: to create a target population, segment customers, extract and filter tracking logs, build filters, etc. Using fields of a database table, you can filter the data you want to extract by adding and combining conditions. You can the collect, sort and display results based on your needs.

 

.2. Marketing campaigns

  • Marketing plans, programs, campaigns
    Several tools are available to help you organize your deliveries.  From programs to calendars, you can plan your future campaigns, see what are the ongoing campaigns, and keep track and compare the results of your past campaigns. You can set objectives and marketing rules for each campaign to make them the most unique for your customers and the most relevant for your needs.
  • Targeting
    The first step of sending a delivery is targeting the right population. This operation can be done directly by performing simple queries within the delivery or by creating lists that can be reused later. You can achieve complex targeting by querying not only data from a single table but also from linked tables. You also have the possibility to create segmentation workflows to combine different sets of population (unions, intersections, exclusions, etc.).
  • Email delivery
    The email channel is the main and most used channel in Adobe Campaign. It allows you to mass deliver personalized electronic messages to your customers. To do that, you have many options available to help you define the contentpersonalize it with recipients or related data, set validation workflows, supervise delivery execution and track its results through logs and reports.
    Other channels are available, each one having its own specificities, such as mobile (SMS), direct mail, Facebook, Twitter, Line, etc.
  • Email delivery templates
    Each delivery is based on a predefined template. Templates can be used to define parameters that will be common for a set of deliveries. This way, it's not necessary to go through all parameters every time a new delivery is created, and, as most of them are advanced, it is easier for non-technical end users to focus on content and target recipients. For example, different editing modes can be used for the content: simple HTML, DCE and AEM. Depending on how this parameter is set, content edition will be different and will require different knowledge. By setting this in the template, you can save precious time.

 

.3. Reporting and managing non deliverables 

  • Delivery indicators and tracking
    For each delivery, indicators show you how many messages were sent, how many were actually received, etc. Numbers can differ from the initial target count because of typology/pressure rules, opt-outs, black-lists, quarantines, etc. Being able to track deliveries is the key to measure success and learn more about your customers. Tracking information is stored in a dedicated table and allows you to monitor how many times an email was opened, which recipients clicked a specific link inside that email, etc.
    All these indicators can be found from the delivery dashboard or in the delivery logs.
  • Reports
    A lot of different reports are available to help you measure not only individual deliveries but sets of deliveries and campaigns as well. This way you can compare overall performance between different campaigns or between similar campaigns over quarters or even years for example. You can also create custom reports based on the data you need and share these reports with other operators working on Adobe Campaign.

 

.4. Subscriptions and Services

  • Services
    Adobe Campaign enables you to create and administer information services such as newsletters and to manage the subscriptions to these services. Several services can be defined in parallel, for example: specialist newsletters for certain product categories, themes or areas of a web site, subscriptions to various types of alert messages and real-time notifications. Recipients will be able to subscribe (opt-in) and unsubscribe (opt-out) to services through Web forms and you will be able to monitor and track these subscriptions.
  • Web forms
    Adobe Campaign integrates a graphical module for defining and publishing Web forms to create pages containing input and selection fields, and which may include data in the database. This lets you design and post web pages which users can access to view or enter information, such as registration or subscription pages.

It's time to transition to the new Adobe Target!

Hello Target Community!

I am Jason Hickey, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Adobe Target. I want to share with you all some really exciting news about the future of Adobe Target.

You are all no doubt aware (and hopefully using!) the new Adobe Target interface that we’ve been relentlessly expanding and developing over the past few years.  There are hundreds of amazing new features in the new Adobe Target to talk about – our guided workflow and visual experience composer, our embedded Adobe Marketing Cloud integrations, shared reporting capabilities with Adobe Analytics for a single source of truth in your data, our innovations in data science and machine learning and more.  We’ve done all of this while serving an entirely new persona, the non-technical marketer, with our new UI and workflows.

So, what’s the news? Today we’ve announced the transition timeline to sunset the Adobe Target Classic (Test&Target) UI in November 2017. Today is the day to start planning your move to the new Adobe Target!

Why should you move over today? Marketers who have already made the transition are seeing significant reductions in their time to test, as well as substantial increases in scalability and ROI. Intel, an Adobe Target Premium customer, tells us in this blog interview about more than doubling test velocity since moving to the new interface – going from 700 tests in 2015 to more than 1000 in the first half of 2016!

The details of this transition can be found at our Adobe Target Transition Hub.  You will find links to videos, webinars, help articles, and Frequently Asked Questions. Our first webinar will be held on September 20th - the details of which can be found via the Hub.  I’d like to share just a few thoughts and themes around this transition, so that you can fearlessly move over to the new UI and workflows.

With the new Target UI, you can:

  • Access powerful innovations like the visual experience composer, guided workflow, advanced algorithms for automated personalization, and personalized recommendations
  • Take full advantage of core services provided by Adobe Marketing Cloud, including server-to-server Analytics integration, shared audiences, and native testing and targeting authoring capabilities in AEM
  • Employ your favorite capabilities from the Classic UI
  • Start using it right away – the UI is fully backward-compatible
  • Do so much more

Furthermore, the migration path is easy and Adobe is here to help:

  • We are providing an extensive library of resources, from guides to videos to checklists, to assist with the transition
  • You can migrate your campaigns organically – there’s over a year of runway to wind down existing campaigns and start new activities in the new UI
  • Your account team and Adobe representatives are all enabled to help with questions and to ensure you get the guidance you need

As you can see, we have many useful resources available to assist you. In addition, throughout the transition period, we will continue to evangelize the process and resources, as well as deliver webinars and other customer engagements, to ensure that all of our customers’ needs are met.

Thank you so much!

Jason

PDF Export doesn't seem to work

I've created a number of reports in the new Analysis workspace.  Over the last few days, however, I have been unable to export them as PDF.  I get the 'success' message, but nothing ever arrives (and I have checked spam folder etc.)

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,

adaptive form || custom message after custom,serverside validation fails

I have a form being POST-ed to a custom end point which is implemented using a sling servlet. In this servlet, there is some backend validation done, based on which is we need to ask users to fill some data / fields again, if it does not meet business requirement.

But when the user is shown the SAME form again, there is a custom message need to be displayed. e.g "Value XXXXX is not a valid for this user."

Question -  How do I send that information from slingservlet as response so that it is available in form ? Which jsp/js files  do I modify ?
