Opti ID and Admin Center

We'll be starting to assist customers with Single Sign-On (SSO) through Okta or Entra ID (Azure AD) to prepare for the migration to Opti ID. Expect communications from your Customer Success Manager (CSM) and Chris Messina, our Opti ID Product Manager with more details. If you're ready to migrate or want to secure your spot on the schedule, please complete this form. For any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to your CSM.

Updates to CMS12 + DAM

We're making updates for a more seamless experience when pulling assets into CMS12 from Optimizely DAM. Users will be able to:

  • Query data quicker with asset metadata available in Graph
  • Easily access and call asset renditions (even if the original asset is the only content selected)

Campaign Brief Ideation

Acting as a true AI assistant, Opal will guide users through ideating a high-quality campaign brief with back-and-forth dialogue and will then generate the final output.

Brief-based Task Generation

Based on the information provided in a campaign brief, Opal will be able to generate tasks that ladder up to the campaign.

Branded Content Generation

Customers will be able to teach Opal their brand and tone of voice by providing guidelines.​​

This will support:

  • Uploading of brand docs
  • Multiple brands/personas (e.g. style might differ per channel)

Campaign-specific Asset Generation

Based on the information provided in a brief, Opal will be able to generate a written asset and accompanying hero image with the click of a button.

AI Campaign Kits

  • On-brand content
  • Social posts for promoting content

Recurring Tasks

Users will be able to create and schedule recurring tasks to save time when needing to schedule repetitive initiatives (e.g. monthly newsletter tasks).

Automated Workflows

Users can create rules based on a "if this then that" structure to automate workflows. For example, a workflow can be configured so that if a Work Request is accepted, then a Campaign is automatically created.

Operational Reporting

New custom dashboards will answer key operational reporting questions, like:

  • Where are we "stuck" (based on fields, e.g. content type)?
  • How much content have we produced for X audience or channel? 
  • What's our on-time performance for a particular piece of content?  

graphical user interface, application

Taxonomy Hierarchy

Admins will have the ability to nest sub fields under parent fields to create a hierarchy and ensure proper taxonomy within their CMP instance. Users will have the ability to select only from the sub fields provided.

Asset Utilization

Marketers will be able to gain insight into view, download and usage data for assets within the Library to track how (and where) content is used.

UX Delights

  • Locale analytics: Users will be able to view analytics for different locales

  • Deactivate Field Values: Users can make field values inactive so they can't be selected, but historical data will remain intact
  • Mandatory Fields: Ensure better metadata management by requiring fields to be completed before an asset can be uploaded or pushed to Library.
  • List View in Library: Visualize your assets in a List View.
