AD0-E906 Adobe Workfront for Experience Manager enhanced connector Expert Questions and Answers

When a new metadata profile is applied to a folder in AEM, itonly affects new assetsadded to that folderafterthe profile is applied. Existing assets that were already in the folder or subfolders prior to the profile being assigned will retain the metadata profile that was previously applied.

To update the metadata of existing assets with the new profile, you would need to either manually update the assets or run a script to reapply the metadata profile to those assets.

Option B is incorrect because the profile applies to all assets in the folder, not just direct children. Option C is incorrect because if there were invalid field values, you would likely see an error or warning, rather than a silent failure.

For more details, refer to AEM’sdocumentation on managing and applying metadata profiles.

In this scenario, the proofing workflow needs two stages:

Stage 1: This stage routes the proof to thecreative directorupon proof creation. By selecting "do not allow this stage to be deleted," the workflow ensures that the creative director must always review the proof before it is sent to stakeholders. This ensures consistency in the review process and makes sure the creative director is always involved.

Stage 2: This stage activates whenall decisions are madeon the parent stage (i.e., the creative director’s approval). Additionally, since the creative agency only requiresone decision from each company, the "only one decision required" setting is appropriate to speed up the process while ensuring the necessary approvals are gathered.

Option B is incorrect because setting the stage as private may hinder collaboration, and Option C suggests waiting until all decisions are approved, which is not necessary in this scenario.

Refer toWorkfront documentation on proofing workflowsfor details on setting up multi-stage approval processes.

To search for assets that are expiring within the next week, the most efficient way is to configure the search rail using theRelative Date Predicate. This predicate allows for dynamic filtering based on a relative date range, such as "next week."

TheRelative Date Predicateautomatically adjusts to search for assets within a specific upcoming time frame, such as the expiration date.

Option A and B are more rigid and require specific date or range configurations, which may not be as flexible or user-friendly as the relative date search.

Refer to AEM’sAssets Admin Search Rail configuration documentationfor more information on predicates and their use in filtering search results.

In this scenario, the user is managing a marketing campaign in Workfront and wants to use an existing asset from AEM Assets. Since the enhanced connector is already installed and configured, the user can go to theDocumentsarea within the Workfront project, clickAdd new, and then select theExperience Manager integration.

This integration allows the user to browse assets stored in AEM and select the required asset, which will be linked to the Workfront project without the need to download and re-upload the file.

This seamless integration between Workfront and AEM Assets enhances workflow efficiency by enabling users to directly access and use assets from AEM within their Workfront environment.

For more information, refer to the documentation onWorkfront and AEM Asset Integration, which covers the process of selecting and using AEM-stored assets within Workfront.

When converting a request to a project in Adobe Workfront, it's important to ensure that custom fields and their values are correctly passed from the request form to the project form. To achieve this, you need to add the same custom field on the project form, but in this case, the calculation should be left blank because the calculated value from the request form will be passed over and does not need to be recalculated at the project level.

Same field: The field needs to be exactly the same (same internal name) so the data can flow between the request and the project during the conversion.

Blank calculation: By leaving the calculation blank, you ensure that the field will accept the value from the request without overriding it or attempting to recalculate it.

For more details on setting up custom forms in Workfront and handling calculated fields during request-to-project conversions, refer to theAdobe Workfront Form Customization Guide.

When configuring metadata mapping between Adobe Workfront custom form fields and Adobe Experience Manager metadata properties, you can useIssueandDocumentcustom forms to define these mappings. These types of forms are commonly used for tracking and managing work items and documents, both of which need to have their metadata synchronized between the two systems.

Issue custom forms: Used for tracking work requests, such as issues or tasks.

Document custom forms: Specifically used for managing metadata related to documents, which can be mapped directly to AEM assets.

Options C (Portfolio) and D (Program) are not typically used for metadata mapping related to assets or documents.

Refer toWorkfront Enhanced Connector documentationfor more information on mapping custom forms to AEM metadata properties.

There are two possible reasons for receiving the "Unable to edit properties" error when trying to save metadata properties in AEM:

Insufficient Modify Permission: The user needs to haveModifypermissions for the folder or assets within the folder to be able to edit the metadata. Without this permission, changes to metadata cannot be saved.

Invalid Metadata Path: If a metadata property in the schema is mapped to an invalid JCR path, AEM will not be able to save the changes. The system requires valid paths in the JCR to store metadata properties correctly, and any invalid path will result in an error.

Option B, involving asset locking, would prevent editing altogether rather than giving an error during property saving. Option C, mapping two properties to the same path, would result in overwriting issues rather than an error about saving properties.

For more details, refer toAEM’s Metadata Schema documentationandpermissions management.

To implement conditionalautomatic publishingof assets from Workfront to AEM based on the value of the custom form field, you should:

Check the option "Automatically publish assets when sent from Workfront": This ensures that the assets will be automatically published to AEM when they are sent from Workfront.

Use the custom form field ("auto_publish_assets"): The system needs to check the value of this custom form field, and if it is set to"Yes", the assets will be automatically published.

Set the Custom Form Field Value to "Yes": In the configuration, you’ll specify that automatic publishing only occurs when the field value is "Yes."

Option B incorrectly refers to "Workflow" instead of "Workfront," and Option C refers to publishing to Brand Portal, which is irrelevant since the customer does not have Brand Portal.

Refer toWorkfront for AEM Enhanced Connector documentationfor step-by-step guidance on configuring conditional automatic asset publishing.

TheAuthorpermission role is necessary for the design team members who need toedit the proofsbefore they are sent for review by legal and financial teams. This role allows them to make changes directly to the proof and upload new versions, which is essential for their work in this multi-stage automated workflow.

Author role: Grants permission to edit and manage the proof, which includes uploading new versions and making changes to the existing proof content.

Options B (Reviewer) and C (Approver) are more restrictive roles that do not allow for editing proofs.

Refer toWorkfront Proofing roles and permissions documentationfor more information on the different proof roles.

To ensure proper functioning of the Enhanced Connector between AEM and Workfront, it is critical that the firewall allows traffic forEvent SubscriptionsandWebhooks:

Event Subscriptions: These are necessary for synchronizing events between Workfront and AEM, such as when assets are modified or when metadata is updated.

Webhooks: Webhooks enable real-time data exchange and notifications between the two systems, allowing instant updates to flow between Workfront and AEM.

Option A (Experience Manager Workflows) is relevant within AEM but not directly tied to firewall configuration for the connector. Option B (Single Sign-On) is a security feature but not specifically tied to the Enhanced Connector’s data synchronization processes.

Refer to theWorkfront Enhanced Connector documentationfor details on the processes that rely on Event Subscriptions and Webhooks.

In this scenario, the reviewer needs to leave comments on an interactive web content URL and tag the designer. TheWeb Proofing vieweris the appropriate tool for reviewing interactive web content in Adobe Workfront. The Web Proofing viewer allows users to:

Review and commenton web-based content directly in the browser.

Tag usersin comments and updates.

Approve or rejectthe content with the necessary feedback.

Option A (Desktop Proofing viewer) is typically used for offline or downloadable content, and Option C (Legacy Proofing viewer) refers to an outdated tool that lacks modern proofing functionalities.

Refer toWorkfront’s proofing documentationfor more information on using the Web Proofing viewer for interactive content.

When metadata mappings between Adobe Workfront and AEM are configured, the process of sending a document along with its metadata from Workfront to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets is streamlined. The user selects the document in Workfront, clicks "Send to," and chooses the Experience Manager integration.

The metadata fields that have been mapped are automatically synchronized along with the document. There is no need for manual selection of metadata at this stage, as the integration ensures that all configured mappings are applied.

This functionality is part of the enhanced connector, which simplifies the workflow between Workfront and AEM Assets by automating the synchronization of mapped metadata fields during the document transfer.

For more details, refer to Adobe's documentation onWorkfront for Experience Manager Enhanced Connector, which outlines how automatic metadata synchronization works during document transfers.

In this case, since the user is reviewing a legal document where all changes are related to written copy, the most efficient way to highlight and provide comments is by using theText Select tool. This tool allows the user to select specific text in the document and attach comments directly related to the text, making it easier for others to understand the context of the feedback.

TheText Select toolis specifically designed for making text-based comments, which is ideal for written copy changes.

Options A (Freehand tool) and B (Box tool) are better suited for graphical annotations or drawing attention to areas of images, not text-specific feedback.

For more details, refer toWorkfront Proofing documentationon proofing tools and their use cases.
