A heat map in Adobe Campaign Classic provides a visual representation of workflow performance and activity across the campaign instance. It is particularly valuable for developers and campaign managers who need to monitor, diagnose, and optimize workflows. Here are three key reasons to use a heat map:
* See and understand concurrent workflows: A heat map offers a quick visual overview of multiple workflows running concurrently. This allows developers to identify workflows that might be consuming excessive resources and impacting the overall performance. By examining the distribution and intensity of workflows over time, a developer can manage and adjust workflow scheduling to avoid bottlenecks.
* Filter workflows by duration to check which workflow is creating an issue: Heat maps allow filtering workflows by their duration, which is essential for diagnosing performance issues. By focusing on workflows with unusually long durations, developers can pinpoint problematic processes and take corrective actions, such as optimizing the workflow steps, adjusting schedules, or even modifying resource allocations.
* Look for a specific workflow to analyze: Using a heat map, developers can easily locate specific workflows for detailed analysis. This feature is useful when there are numerous workflows and a need arises to drill down into a particular one that may be underperforming or suspected of causing issues.
While heat maps are valuable for monitoring and troubleshooting workflows, they do not directly create workflow reports, making option B ("Make a report of the workflow") less relevant in this context. Reports are typically generated through other reporting tools within Adobe Campaign Classic.
