EMM: Marketing Operations v9.1 New Feature – Multiple timezone support

7


Timezone Support

BACKGROUND: The Marketing Operations (MO) application currently supports only a single time zone. This results in geographically distributed users not able to view date & timestamps on tasks, approvals, etc in their time zone.

SOLUTION: Incorporate multiple Time Zone Support in MO.

o A single instance of MO will support multiple time zones

o Configurable Time Zone setting available from Platform user settings page

o Defaulted to server Time Zone value for new users

o Users are able to configure their own timezone

o Time displayed throughout MO is as per user’s preferred time zone

o No upgrade needed for existing customers

o Calendar controls work with dates as per user’s preferred time zone

Time zone use-case for workflow

Users in two time zones (EST & PST)

Work Flow tasks or approvals can be assigned to members of different time zones

Project owner specifies date and time in his time zone

Forecast Actual Start/Forecast Actual End, Target start/Target End are displayed in user’s preferred time zone.

Specified Date/Time is converted into task member’s time zone for calculations – end-date, – rippling, – approval validation etc.

Users working hours are still defined at system level but applied to local time zones.

EMM: Marketing Operations v9.1 New Feature – Approval portlet

14


Approval Portlet – Business Challenges

This is a usability Enhancement. The current Approval Portlet and Approval List View is cumbersome. For casual users there is need to easily working with approvals.

As the Reviewer/Approver I require the ability to access "Approvals Awaiting My Response" through a Dashboard Portlet.

The Approval Portlet will resemble the "My Task" Portlet.

The Approval Portlet will enable the Reviewer/Approver the ability to manager Approvals and access the Asset via the Mark-Up.

Ability to approve “all” pending approvals by one click.

Approval Portlet


EMM: Marketing Operations v9.1 New Feature – Skip approval

17


Steps to Skip Approval in Existing System

18


Allow users to intuitively skip approvals Currently Users need to start the Approval and then Cancel (this procedure will SKIP the Approval).

This operation is confusing to users.

SKIP Approval experience is now enhanced to be simple 1 step process.


EMM: Marketing Operations v9.1 New Feature – Label Modification

20

EMM: Marketing Operations v9.1 New Feature – Fill Down

23


Our users find it cumbersome to have to re-enter basic data two times, once for the project and once for the campaign. We frequently also find errors due to the repeated, manual entry.


Things to be aware of

If Marketing Operations, Campaign and eMessage are integrated…..

– “Campaign - eMessage “ offer integration can also be achieved when the offer integration in MO is on , and also for the offers created from MO

– The link on the MO offer allowing for the relationship to the eMessage asset is not present.

• This can be achieved by going to eMessage Asset and then linking the MO offer.

Marketing Operations v9.1 installation process : umodbsetup

The data base password stored in umo_jdbc.properties file located inside tools/bin folder will be encrypted at time of new installation or upgrade installation.

The umodbsetup.sh/bat tool is modified to have an option to encrypt existing password or change password and encrypt ito –E option: This option will encrypt exiting password. If exiting password is already

encrypted the tool will skip this operation. This option can be used with automatic DB setup or manual.E.g : ./umodbsetup.sh –E –t full –L en_US – This will encrypt password before populating full DB

./umodbsetup.sh –E – This option will just encrypt the password

o –P option: This option will allow system administrator to update exiting password located in umo_jdbc.properties file. This option will prompt user to enter new password.E.g: ./umodbsetup.sh –P – Prompt user to enter new password.
