Adobe Workfront 25.4 release webinar

Transcript

Welcome everyone. We had a lot of customers sign up for this event. So it took a minute to get everyone in and presenting and now it’s gonna take a minute to get everybody in and settles and clear the lobby. So if you just give us a second, however, the chat is up and the QA pod is up. So if you wanna start popping in, where are you joining us from? What’s the weather like, where you’re at? Just to say, hey, also, if you’ve got questions that you wanna pop into the QA pod, that’s where our product partners will be answering questions.

Hey, Kimberly. Hello.

Right.

It’s raining in the Dallas-Fort Worth area as well. So hey, we’re the same as Boston. Look at us.

Fabulous.

Right, I think everyone is in. So I’m gonna go ahead and get started. Welcome. Welcome, welcome to the second quarter release webinar. We’re so excited to have everybody. So the first question that we’re always gonna get asked, so the first one, is this session being recorded? The answer is yes. It’s being recorded two separate ways to have a backup in order to get you a recording. The one thing I wanna tell y’all about the Teams recording. Some of y’all may get an email after the session saying, the Teams recording is ready and you may not actually be able to access it. I don’t want you to worry about that. About an hour after the session is over, we’re gonna have that recording actually linked up so that you’re gonna have a link, you’re gonna have the link to the slides, you’re gonna have a link to the resources. We’re also going to put this on Experience League. So anybody that missed it, just wants to go out to Experience League and ask some more questions, we’re gonna have that out there for you. So just wanted to make sure everybody is, we got this recorded. All right, so what are we doing today? We have got a host of folks on this call and we’re gonna go ahead and get started. We’re gonna run through the features that are coming out. And as you can see on the screen, it’s April 10th. So that’s next Thursday. And we’re also joined by one of our product marketing leaders that’s gonna give us a couple of highlights, a little demo on the roadmap. So it’s very exciting to see that as well. All right, so here’s all the information.

So April 10th, we’ve got your release notes for you. We’ve got links to customer support. We’ve got the status and the known issues link. And then just in case you’re not sure if you’re on fast releases, on the quarter releases, if you’re not sure, we’ve got the link to that. And then we also have the short video by Monique Evans. It’s brilliant. And I just wanna talk about these links for one second.

We’ve got a few things in the release. It’s not super heavy in features, but I was a former system admin. I have a lot of like former system admins that I work with here at Adobe. We’ve got all of y’all on the call and y’all know just because it might seem small, it might be a big change to your users. So please check out those release notes after the session. Please go into your preview environment and just make sure, hey, this makes sense to me. This looks right, okay? So just wanted to throw that out there. All right, are we ready? Okay, so this is who we’ve got. In the spirit of the golden age of variety shows, Captain and Sunil, Donnie and Marie, solid gold. We have a bunch of product managers on this call and we’re just gonna go ahead and get started. So we’re gonna try to go in order as the release notes, but we’re gonna mix it up just a little bit. So first up is Katch. He’s gonna go over administrator enhancement. So I just wanna make sure, Katch, are you there? Are you with me? I am, I am Cynthia, thank you. Yay, hey, welcome. Hey, thank you. So yeah, I’ll present administrator enhancement and we have some exciting things that are coming and one of this is in the following slide.

If we can turn the slide to the next page, yeah. This one right here? The new expressions, okay.

No, the other one. The validation. Got it.

Sorry, maybe the update is, yeah, it takes some time for me. So yeah. I’m sorry, it’s late at night, I get it. Yeah, no worries. So the first one is custom validation logic for custom forms. Customers were asking a lot for this and other advanced logic. So we are going to give you the ability to build your own custom condition-based validation rules, which means that you can actually build your own logic, your validation logic on top of fields that you are using in custom fields. Just one of the examples would be that you can, if you have a field that represents email, basically you can write a condition that says, if the field does not contain add symbol, you need to throw an error saying that email should contain that symbol basically, right? And many, many more guys, this will cover a lot of use cases. And yeah, based on the reactions, I’m guessing you’re waiting for this for a long time. And we have also other logics that are coming, but not for this release. So I’m guessing that will also make your lives much, much easier. So stay tuned for the next release webinars to learn more about other logics that are coming.

And maybe we can go to the next slide and a couple of new expressions that we delivered with this release.

It’s not updating for me yet, so I’ll just wait once. We are on a slide, I promise.

So it’s still not updating for me, so maybe I can just refer to the slide here. Okay, so a couple of new expressions. The first one is array that basically lets you to convert your string into an array.

We have sorting array logics ascending and descending or by ascending and descending orders. So that’s pretty much self-explanatory. And the same for array length. Basically it returns the length of your array. You can also get the specific array element by using the array element expression function in your calculated fields.

Add hour, which basically adds the number of hours to the date.

Yeah, I guess that’s also pretty self-explanatory. And also switch. And switch is the one that I am personally really excited for. It basically allows you to define a condition in your calculated field, which means that you can basically write down an expression and based on what result it throws you, you can choose what calculated field will, basically what calculated field will show to the user. So for example, just one of the example would be if you have a field that represents your distribution channels, it can be email or social media or print or TV. Based on that, the calculated field can show specific budget that should be allocated for a specific channel that you have selected.

And yeah, I guess that’s it from my side. I’ll maybe jump into Q&A section and mute myself. And I think the next is Caroline’s turn to talk a little bit about the document enhancements. And here’s what I’m gonna do before, Caroline, before you start, let me go ahead and stop sharing and reshare and just see if we can get this online. So I’m gonna do that really quickly, everybody, just to make sure that, because it says like that people are saying the slides aren’t advancing. So I’m gonna do that. And I’m just gonna stop sharing and we might see our faces.

Just a sec.

We got a lot of people on. I think that’s why there might be a delay, but that’s a good thing. We want to have a lot of people on. So let’s try this again. Share.

Okay.

All right. And then presentation mode.

I love y’all in the chat though. I love y’all so much because it’s just so helpful.

All right.

Caroline, are you with us? Yes, I am. Yay. Adulis. Yeah, you can directly move to the next slide. Wonderful.

Let’s wait till it shows up. You know, let me know when you see it.

This is the biggest event we’ve had in a long time. I think we have 400 people on.

Okay, still not seeing it. Not sure about the others.

Maybe should I just go out of presentation mode for a second again? Ah, here you go. Sorry, everybody. I see it now. Oh, you got it? Fabulous. I hope the others do as well. Okay, good. The document management enhancements we have for you is that you can now edit multiple documents at once in a document report. So you can edit the description and update the custom forms. So far, this was only possible from within the document list.

So adding the bulk edit action to the document reports similar to project reports will now streamline the workflow and improve your efficiency, hopefully. So I hope you’ll like this enhancement and it will help you to get things done faster. I see the hearts popping up. So yes, happy about that.

Yeah, so next up, we have Nari from mobile, with the mobile enhancements.

Nari, are you there? Yep, here. Thank you, Cynthia. Thank you, Caroline. Let me know when you can see.

I can see, I’m assuming everyone can see. So type in if you are not seeing the slides. So some exciting things on the mobile side.

As you know, we have our proof in the mobile. We have added some enhancements to the proofing. So right now, we are supporting more multimedia files in the iOS for now, in the mobile app. And now users can access more files, such as videos, audios, MP3s, MPM4Bs, and various. There is a list for the files that we’re supporting right now. Another exciting thing that we have added is also redirection from email. So if you have been shared a proof document, now it’s gonna redirect you directly to the mobile app and you can see the proof document there. Again, whether it’s a video or a document, it’s gonna show you inside the app. And if you have been shared it in your email, you’re gonna be able to directly click on the link and go to our mobile app.

One point here, the redirection is to come from the native Safari app. That’s the one we are supporting right now. So that’s all from my side. And if I’m not mistaken, Matt is supposed to do the next slide. So Matt, passing to you. Was Matt able to join us? Thank you so much. Not sure if Matt was able to join us today. Do we know? Yeah, but I don’t think Matt is able to join right now, but I’m Ben Robbins and Matt is on my team. Hey everyone, and I’m happy to talk to you about some of our reporting enhancements, specifically with Workfront Data Connect. For those who aren’t aware with what Workfront Data Connect is, it’s a fairly new capability that we provided so that you can extract all of your Workfront data, take that from Workfront, put it into your data lake so you can either overlay it or put it right beside the other data that you have in Power BI tools of your choice so you can continue to show all the beauty and offerings of Workfront right alongside your other work. I think everybody’s really excited about this because it means the execs that are using one report don’t have to navigate across a bunch of different reports, which we all know makes everybody’s lives easier. So with Workfront Data Connect, we have been expanding all the capabilities that it has to offer. One of the big things that we are excited about, much like the document approval stuff that you just heard about, we really want to make sure that we can take the new document service and existing document services and bring that data out so that you can report on that. As we continue to offer new capabilities, some more you’ll see demoed later on, you’ll be able to see that same type of information brought through Data Connect into Power BI or Tableau or whatever business intelligence tool you want to use so you can review it right with all your other information. So we’re really excited to make sure that you all can get this. As we continue to expand Data Connect, I hope myself or Matt can be here in future calls to tell you about all the other types of Workfront Data you can see in these other third-party tools. Thank you. Yeah, you’re welcome. And that’s gonna be great. We’re gonna send out information on Data Connect from Experience League with the slides. So if you’re interested in that, let us know. Reach out also to your account exec. So it’s a really cool tool. The next one is deprecations. Ben, did you want to just really talk about this quickly? Yeah, of course. I’ll just roll directly into that one, absolutely. So we are actually deprecating enhanced analytics. We haven’t had a ton of usage of this over the past few years. Most people aren’t used to it. They’ve started navigating over to some of our new dashboarding capabilities. They’re really excited about a bunch of the capabilities that we also have coming inside of our Workfront Data Connect or our new Dashboard Canvas, our new in-app reporting. So its time has come. So we’re really excited to be able to sunset this because the fewer things that we have to focus on inside the product that people aren’t using, it means we can put more attention to growing the things that people are using.

Awesome, thank you so much. We appreciate that.

Okay, and I’m up. Now, look at field updates. Okay, so I wanna talk about this. I’m gonna show you one slide behind. So right now my computer’s showing enhanced analytics deprecation. I don’t know about anyone else. Okay, I’m gonna wait then. Hopefully someone will see the enhanced Workfront experience soon.

You know, this event was just so popular. It is like solid gold. There’s nothing wrong with that. Still not loading the new slide. All right, I’m gonna just, I’m gonna stop sharing. Oh, there you are. You’re right here. Yeah, don’t give up so soon. Here you are. Ben, that is the lesson for all of us. Have faith, don’t give up. All right, okay, so as a former sysadmin, y’all know that I had to go through the Workfront classic to the Workfront new Workfront experience. So I wanna talk about this enhanced Workfront experience. This is really important for my system admins in terms of the look and feel updates.

So I’m gonna beg you right now to make sure to go out and look at those parts of the release notes and look at the updates. It’s not gonna necessarily affect functionality, but we all know that if something looks even slightly different, our users are going to go, oh my gosh, what’s different? Something changed. So those are the two things I wanna talk about here is like make sure to look at what the updates are in the current release notes. But the question here is like, why are these changing? A lot of those pages, if you’ve been a Workfronter for a really long time, you know, like parts of Workfront still look like Workfront classic, like back in 2018, 2019, right? So what we’re doing here with these look and feel updates and you know, what they’re calling sort of unshimming is we’re modernizing these pages. There’s gonna be sort of the same look across like all of the Adobe solutions. But more importantly to me as a Workfronter, it’s going to look the same across Workfront because we have lots of new functionality, but then some of those pages when we go to edit, before they did redid edit project, right? You pull up edit project, it’s like what this looks like Workfront classic. So these updates replace those older UI components and they were old, let’s just be real. And then we’re just applying them across. So please take a look at those leaks and you’ll have them with the deck and just make sure that your users are prepared. And you know, one of my favorite magical land is the sandbox preview. We love a sandbox preview. So please go out there and you can go check stuff out. All right, so let’s see, I believe, and Lillith, I’m gonna let this load and then y’all can tell me, I’m actually really excited about what Lillith’s gonna cover this next one because spoiler alert, I love a bulk edit, but hopefully Lillith, you can see my slide yet. Yeah, hey Cynthia. Yeah, I can see it. Okay. Thank you and hey everyone. As Cynthia said, I’m going to cover a very exciting feature. So we have added the ability to add bulk comments on multiple projects together. Now, whenever you select a single or several projects, within the edit screen, you have the comment section where you can add your note, text certain people. And then as soon as you save, the note is going to be posted on all of the selected projects. So you don’t have to go one by one and update on every project that you need. So this is going to save a lot of time for you.

That’s it for project enhancements. So maybe let’s move on to work from planning now. So I know like some of the customers on this call may not have work from planning. So this is a new module by Workfront, which allows you to create custom workspaces, define custom record types, define relationships between those it’s a more flexible way to define and manage metadata and also connect it to plan your work before getting to the execution phase and also link it to the execution projects. So where I’m going to cover certain capabilities here, but we have a lot of information on the experience leak that you can go and check and see how powerful and what capabilities you can achieve using Workfront planning. So with this release, within Workfront planning, we have added the ability to import records using a CSV or an Excel file. So previously we had the ability to import a whole record type. Basically you would import a file and that would create a totally new record type. For example, an example of a record type would be like campaigns, activities, products, brands, et cetera. So with this release, we are also adding the ability to import records into an existing record type. So let’s say you have already defined your campaigns record type, set all the fields that it needs, created all of the connections with other record types or Workfront objects, and now you want to bring over the information from some external source. So now it will be available for you. This was one of the highly requested things. So hopefully it will make it much easier to set up your workspaces. Next up, we are also working on capabilities that will enable you to have much better collaboration when working with planning data. We previously had the ability to see the real-time presence of people who are currently viewing the same table, timeline, or calendar view, and you would see their avatars and the cells would be highlighted. Now we are also adding the same capability on a single record page. So let’s say you are opening a specific campaign preview or the detail page on the full page screen, and you will see the user avatars at the top of the page, and whenever someone is editing one of the fields, that field will also be highlighted, and it will show the color, and you can see which specific user is editing this field. So this way, you will avoid updating information together like at the same time with some other people and overriding each other’s work.

Okay, next up.

I moved it, hopefully you can see it. The multi-tiered filters, yeah, we’re waiting. Yeah, we’re just waiting, but maybe I can just start talking before the screen loads. So the next enhancement is about multi-tiered reporting. So previously, we’ve been planning views, and I’m trying to talk slowly. Sorry.

So in planning views, we had the ability to filter the data based on one group of conditions. So you would be able to say this condition or that or something else, but now we are also adding the ability to combine together multiple groups of conditions. So you can have one group of conditions combined with and or statement, and then you can also have another group and combine them together with another layer of and or or statement, at last. So if we just look at the screenshot here, you can see that we now have multiple groups of conditions and we have this and statement in the first group, and we also have or statement, which is a higher level statement that allows you to combine it. And this way, you can achieve much more granular filtering for your data and make sure you can review the necessary information this way.

And this capability is available on all of our field view types.

Okay, next up, let’s talk about automations, which is a very exciting capability, and it’s going to make just working with planning so much more powerful. So we have introduced the ability to define automations for each of your record types, and this means that you can automate certain workflows. And let’s say whenever you work with campaigns, it is approved and now you are ready to generate to start the execution. You can automatically generate these downstream work front projects, or maybe some other connected planning records without having to navigate away from planning table that you’re working on. So basically by defining a automation, you are creating a custom action for your users, which will be displayed as a button on the toolbar. And whenever the user selects the campaign, they will see the corresponding button on the toolbar and clicking on this button, the system will automatically create a work front object or a planning record for them. In case of work front objects, you can create automations for projects, portfolios, programs, groups, and also you can create defined automations that will generate multiple projects at the same time, for example. So let’s say you have a campaign that multiple channels are working on, and you want to ensure that each of these channels will have their own separate work front project. So you can define a rule that however many channels are listed for the campaign, I want projects to be created for them and apply this specific template to that project. So you will have much like a project for every channel with all the template and all the information that comes with it. In case of planning records, you can also automate creation of records. And in this case, you can also define that I want this information from this campaign’s field to be moved over to the generated record. So in this case, we have the field mapping as well. So you don’t have to later copy over information if needed.

Next up.

Very cool. I did, I clicked it, but you have to wait, but that was very cool. I love the automation. Yeah.

And while it’s loading, I would like to highlight at this point, our automations are based on button clicks, but our upcoming roadmap also includes capabilities to have condition-based triggers. So let’s say you would create an automation and whenever the campaign status changes to active, create the project. So the people don’t even have to do the button click or like you don’t have to rely on people remembering to do that to have the projects auto-generated.

Wow, that’s amazing. Yeah.

Yeah, I still cannot see the next slide, but if you remind me which. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it’s here. Oh, there you go. Okay, perfect. So the other enhancement is related to the planning connection field. If you remember last time we presented that whenever you create a connection with the work front projects, for example, or any other object that is supported in connections, within work front custom forms, you will see the planning connection field type, and you will be able to embed that planning record type that has a connection to its object within the work front form. So for example, you create, within the campaigns record type, you create a connection with projects. Then if you go to a project custom form, you will be able to create a planning connection field and display the linked campaigns through this field. Previously, we only were displaying the name of the linked campaigns. If you opened the project page, you would see several fields for each campaign that is linked to it. Now we have also added the ability to display additional fields from the campaign in the table format. So whenever you go to the project, you will have a much more complete context about the campaigns that the project is contributing to. Let’s say the project is linked to several campaigns, right? And also from within the work front custom form, you can link or unlink the campaigns. And this action is actually also applied on the campaign side. So if you remove one of the campaigns from this list, on the campaign record type, the project will be removed from that campaign as well. So this is a really easy way to work with these connections.

Another enhancement we talked about last time is the ability to create custom pages for connections within planning records. So let’s say whenever you open a specific campaign in a full page, you can create custom page similar to how you create custom sections within work front objects, right? And let’s say for example, within this campaign, I have created, I have a connection with tactic record type, and I will be able to create a section where I will see all of the links tactics in this table format. In addition to just this like view only table, we have added the ability to filter group and sort as well as adjust the fields that you will see here. And additionally, you can also connect or disconnect new tactics here, as well as create new items.

Next up.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, continuing the topic of connections, we have updated, we have made some enhancements to the connection pop up. So whenever you’re editing a connection field, within the connection pop up, you will see this add record or add object button. Previously, this button only displayed whenever you typed something in the search box, but we have made this sticky. So it is always there and you can just click on it whenever you want to create a brand new item. And also whenever you have any automation created for these connections. So let’s say you have created an automation for projects, that would also appear as a button within this connection pop up. So yeah, another way to quickly generate projects.

Whenever you create, try to create a new project in case of project connections. We are also allowing to define what template you want to attach to the project. And in case you want to create a program in the program connection, you will also be asked to select the portfolio where the program should be created. So previously we didn’t even have the ability to create programs and now we have edited and also with the ability to define the portfolio for it.

Let’s move on.

The other enhancement is about lookup fields. If you remember, whenever you create a connection with another record type, you are able to bring over certain fields from that record type or even work around objects. So let’s say you create a project connection, you are able to bring over project description, project owner, start date, et cetera. Those fields names, labels were not editable and sometimes it was not very intuitive for people to understand what fields this is. Now you are able to change the labels and you can define whatever more user-friendly name for your team so that they can better understand what information this column represents.

Okay, next. Okay, now let’s move on to the request and intake topic. There are several updates in this area. First of all, we are introducing new experience for requests and intake and whenever you go to your request area in Workround, you will have this toggle to enable it and you will also see some onboarding screens that will guide you through the process. So whenever you enable this experience and click on new request, you will see a new screen where all of your request queues will be displayed with cards so the UI is updated. And also very important detail here is that both planning and Workround request queues are going to be displayed here. So previously this screen only was for Workround request queues and now it also contains your planning requests as well.

That’s amazing.

Yeah. Love it. This is part of our effort for unifying the intake process. So yeah, you will see a lot of enhancements coming soon in this area. Next up is the ability to create multiple forms per record type in planning. Previously, we only had the ability to have one form per record type, but very often it was not enough. So let’s say like there are cases when I want to request specific types of campaigns and I need to define different like fields. I need to include some other information based on what type of campaign that is. So now we are introducing that capability. So you will be able to create multiple forms with different layouts, with different fields and with different like access controls and approvers. So, and also you will of course be able to manage these request forms like later on.

Yep. Let’s move on.

And whenever you have defined your request forms and you now want to your users to be able to submit a request there, right? So as soon as you click on the new record button, you will now see this like pop-up where you will be able either to create new record manually from scratch, to import records as we described earlier. And also there is the option to submit a new request. So if you have only one form defined for the record type, you will see the request form immediately and you will be able to submit it. But if you have multiple forms, you will first see a screen where you will pick which specific request form you want to use. And only after that, you will be displayed with the corresponding information to fill out.

Yeah, I think these are all from my side. So back to you, Cynthia. Yeah, thank you so much Lil. This is so exciting with Workfront Planning. I’ve been playing around with it as well. There’s a lot of great feedback in the chat and I’m sure there’s, I haven’t checked the Q&A pod, but I bet there’s questions for you there.

So here’s the highlights and this is pretty special because we don’t always get this. So I’m gonna stop sharing my screen and stop sharing the slide deck. We have the fabulous Julie Johnson. I really appreciate you joining this morning. Yeah, my pleasure. And hopefully you now have, you are in charge.

All right, thank you. Can you see my screen? Yes, ma’am. See something that says AI reviewers? Yes, ma’am. All right, excellent. All right, well, it’s my pleasure today to talk a little bit about two exciting innovations that are right around the corner. For those of you who just attended Adobe Summit, we did announce these there a few weeks ago. And so what I show you today should look familiar.

So as we all know, AI is fundamentally changing the way that we all work. And I’m sure that you are all feeling that in your organizations and your businesses, you’re being expected to produce and manage that personalized content for clients, for customers at an unprecedented rate. Well, what we’re doing at Workfront is we are always looking for ways to infuse AI into your workflows to help you streamline and automate your work. And our goal is to do that to free you up, to focus on more strategic work, and also of course, to help you get more done faster. So with that said, the first of two innovations I wanna showcase for you is called our AI reviewers.

Now let’s imagine for a moment that you are Olivia, you’re in the apps, and you’re going to come in to Adobe Gen Studio Foundation, and you’re actually going to set up your brand here. This is as simple as dragging and dropping your brand guidelines into Adobe Gen Studio. And Adobe Gen Studio is gonna do the heavy lifting and extract that information from what you’ve uploaded to create your brand. So Olivia, our marketing ops manager has created this brand. It includes things like when to use the brand, what brand voice guidelines are like the tone of voice or your brand values, descriptions around what type of imagery your brand uses, as well as your colors, your logos, your channel guidelines, anything that you wanna add in here that reflects what your brand definition is.

All right, now that Olivia has set this up in Adobe Gen Studio, she is actually going to go into Workfront now, and she’s going to create an AI reviewer. When I talk about an AI reviewer, you can think about it the same way we think about a human reviewer. You’ve created an asset and you need to go send it to someone for approval. Well, we’re going to do that, but now we’re also going to include an AI reviewer in the mix. So let me show you how that would work.

Let’s say for this weekend brand, we now have Desi. She is our designer. So we’ve shifted from our marketing ops persona to Desi, our designer. And Desi has been working hard on the assets of the upcoming weekend social media summer campaign. And she has loaded all of these assets into the Workfront project. Well, at this point, she’s now ready to go seek review and approval for an asset. So she’s going to click on this asset and she’s going to click request approval. Now at this point, we would be used to sending this just to a human for review or maybe, you know, multiple humans for review. This time, we’re going to select a human, but we’re also going to select this AI reviewer, which comes up as an option.

So I’m going to select this and we’re going to send this off for approval.

Now Desi can immediately see the status of her asset. She can see that it is in review. Well, if she wants to get a little more details about what the status of that review is, she clicks on it to open up this right-hand panel.

Now she can see that Reina, who is her human approver, her approval is still pending.

Well, that makes sense because we just sent this about 10 seconds ago. However, she can see that the weekend brand AI reviewer has already come back with a score. So she’s going to click on the score to get more details.

She can see that the score that she received was 70% for brand compliance. It looks like we have some work to do here. So on the right-hand side, she can see exactly why she has achieved the score. She can see for this first one, it’s her brand image, that it’s telling her the background effectively showcases nature, which is part of their brand, but it should focus more on active exploration like trails or accessible viewpoints rather than a passive doc setting. This is a pretty sophisticated analysis of the type of imagery that she’s used, but how it doesn’t quite fit with the weekend brand. The second piece of feedback she’s gotten from the AI reviewer is around her logo placement. It says that her logo is currently located in the bottom left corner, but actually their brand standards require that logo be in the upper right corner.

So the great thing about this is that Desi can now go back to her creative tool of choice and she can make these changes immediately. So she’s right in the middle of her workflow and she doesn’t have to wait days to get feedback back from a human reviewer before she can go and make these basic changes to be more brand compliant. All right, let’s say Desi does go and make those changes. She’s going to upload that second version by simply dragging and dropping the new version on top of the same asset. She’s going to send it for review again. I won’t go through that process again, but this time the AI reviewer comes back with a score and she is 100% brand compliant. You can see that she’s fixed the imagery issue. This is a much more active image that is compliant with weekend brand standards. And she has now placed the logo in the top right-hand corner.

Now this imagery evaluation as well as the logo placement are the first type of evaluation that the AI reviewer will do. And as time progresses, that AI reviewer is going to become more and more sophisticated to be able to evaluate all sorts of things against the brand standards that you’ve loaded, that your marketing ops has loaded into Gen Studio.

So that is the first innovation I wanted to show you today.

We showed this to customers at Summit. People were really excited to get their hands on this. We are anticipating that this will be available for customers in the second half of this year. So would love to hear your feedback in the chat, what you guys are excited about with this. If you have any questions, happy to answer those.

And while those are coming in, I will head to the next innovation.

So the next innovation I wanna talk about is the Project Health Advisor. Now you may be thinking, why do I need a Project Health Advisor? I can already see the status of my project. I can tell if it’s on time or if it is running behind. Now that conditional status that you currently see in Workfront is taking into account where you’re tracking on different tasks within your project. And that is informing whether you’re going to make a certain due date. However, the Project Health Advisor is actually going to provide you using AI with more insights about the health of your project and what items might be at risk, even before you fall behind on them. So let me show you what I mean.

Let’s say that I’m Petra. I am a Project Manager and I’m here looking at my project. When I look at the condition in the upper right hand corner, it tells me that I’m on target. So everything looks good, right? Well, I’m gonna click on Project Health up here in the right hand corner to see if there are a few more insights that I could maybe get about my project and how it’s doing.

All right, so immediately I’m getting back this Project Health score of 55 and it’s red. I’m assuming that means that something is not going well here. Well, when I look down at these three different factors that are being taken into consideration, my resources, the scope and schedule, I can see that scope and schedule are looking okay, but resources looks like it’s at risk. I’m gonna click on this to see if I can get some more information.

What it tells me is that the project is currently over allocated. It’s suggesting to reassign work to reduce potential burnout. So here it immediately tells me what my current resource is. So I have a designer here and it looks like he is over allocated. It also tells me who I could switch that resource to. So Andre, it looks like is the best match to switch to. He’s a 98% match and this is based on his availability, his skill alignment and his low burnout risk. Wow, that’s awesome. I don’t have to go search and see who has additional capacity at the moment, who has the right skillset. And I can actually just come down and ask the project health advisor to resolve this for me. So once I’ve asked it to resolve it, it has actually gone in and done that reassignment. So now we have the right person for the right job on this project.

Now that I’ve made this switch, I’m actually going to refresh my project health to see where I’m at now. Okay, we went from 55 at risk to now a score of 75 and healthy. So this has been amazing for me to get insights again into identifying potential risks in my project before they even became an issue. And we’re really excited about this project health as well.

We anticipate this will also be available for customers in the second half of this year. And the thing that I just love about this is not only did it tell Petra, our project manager, what her score was and where there were potential risks, but it also helped her identify how to fix that problem right away. And it actually helped resolve the problem for her. So we’re again, so excited about the innovations coming up. This is just kind of scratching the surface on all the innovation that Workfront is doing this year. And I only have time to share these two with you, but I’m looking forward to sharing our other, especially AI innovations with this group moving forward. So Cynthia, back to you. Yeah, thank you so much. Everyone’s really excited about both of these. So we’ll definitely want more information hopefully in future releases that are coming up. There are a couple of questions in the QA pod about what you just presented. I don’t know if you want me to just jump in or do we want to put them later for our followup? Sure.

Yeah, I guess people are asking sort of where it’s going to live. And I know this is on the roadmap and I just want to clear everybody, remember these are roadmap highlights, so this is not something that’s available right now. But just where it will live, will the health be in the project details somewhere? Is it going to be on a different dashboard? Where’s it going to live on Workfront? Yeah, I guess one thing I failed to mention was yes, this is a roadmap item. So all of this at this point is for informational purposes only, none of this is guaranteed. I’m trying to remember this bill for roadmap items. At this point, I do not have exact details on where this will live within the product. I think we’ll be able to provide more details like that in the next round of webinars that we do and we can bring on one of our product managers who is planning this to come in and answer those types of questions.

And I think that covered, so the ones that like, those of you that are asking very specific details about the AI reviewer and Project Health, just remember, like it’s coming soon and we’re very lucky. We don’t always get on the webinars have someone like share with us the roadmap. So thank you again, Julie, for coming, so grateful. I’m going to go ahead and share my screen again, just to share just like the latest slides and then we can move straight into any additional Q&A that people haven’t answered. I’m going to do that really quick. Oh, give me a second. Hopefully, there won’t be a delay. We’re going to see.

All right.

Okay.

We get into presentation mode and hopefully, so we have a few more events this month. If you’re wanting to connect with other work fronters, you want to talk about problem solve and we can talk about all the different things that we’ve talked about today. We do have an event on the 8th. It’s a crowdsource. Customer’s going to come in and share their project templates and we’re all going to get a chance to see how they work and also give them advice. We have our admin chat for marketing creative. A lot of the stuff we covered today is absolutely marketing creative. So if you are wanting to talk about those things and get connected, we can absolutely have that in the chat. Then we have our admin one-on-ones, our work front collective, and then probably going to be the second most popular in April is Nicole’s work front reports to guide your spring cleanup efforts. It is springtime, so let’s do some spring cleaning with our reporting.

The last thing I’ve got here is our survey. We’re going to pop it into the chat here in a second.

Just bear in mind, we’re going to take all of the Q&A. We’ll collect it all for our product folks. We’ll get that follow-up ready and pull as much as we can from the chat and make sure that we get it out to y’all. Probably within the next hour, that’s what we’re shooting for. So just let us know if you’ve got any ideas for events coming forward. But I really, before we wrap up, and I know we just have a few minutes left, I want to thank so much, I’m going to stop sharing.

I want to thank so much our partners from product and product marketing for coming today. Thank you so much for coming and sharing all that information. Thank you so much for answering all the questions in the Q&A pod and in the chat. So we’re really grateful for your time. And for my customers out there, if you found the webinar having this valuable, we want to continue to do this each quarter and give you the information. So just let us know.

All right.

Leslie and Nicole, I don’t know if I’ve missed anything. It feels like a lot of the questions got answered.

I mean, there’s definitely still some unanswered questions in the chat pod, but we will do our best to compile things, ask some folks for some help on getting answers, and do our best to include anything in the follow-up email that you guys will receive at some point today. So just bear with us. We have a lot to try and dig through. There’s a lot in there, yeah. Yes.

Yeah, so let’s go ahead and pop that survey in. Let me go grab it if I don’t have it. I did put the survey, oh, and Leslie put the survey in there. Like, I should put it in there too. So it’ll be three of us. Okay, great. Yeah, if you guys do get a chance, please submit that. It’s totally anonymous, so transparency is appreciated. Yeah.

All right.

As promised, we’ll send all of these links, all the recording out today. And just as a reminder, please just do me that favor. Go out and look at those release notes. Make sure that everything is not gonna surprise your users, and maybe just hit that sandbox preview. I would love, that’s the one thing that everybody gets out today is just go and look and see what’s been pushed out into the preview environment and make sure that you’re good and you’re ready to go for next week.

So appreciative of your time today. I know that we had a lot of people on, and the slides were a little late, so just thank you again. Have a great weekend and we will see you next time. Thanks and bye everybody.
