Meeting information

Agenda

Updates

DTO

Congratulations to all for the work on the budget
Budget bleeds into ad approval budgeting
We’re expecting ad campaigns coming soon, also with tracking capabilities such as Adobe campaign

Roundtable

Principal Publisher

11 news items for Budget put through AEM, and 6 non-news items
The visuals looked great, everyone was happy
GC search:
- Our contract with the current search provider is ending this year
- We have found a new provider for the search engine, a Canadian company named Coveo
- We are getting ready to reach out to teams that are involved with search
- We will need to work with teams to refine and test the search

Question: Did the search email go out to all AEM publishers?

Answer: Yes it did.

Question: Is the search assessment tool that DTO is working on being incorporated into the internal search tool?

Answer: Yes, DTO will work with PP to refine the search with the Search Assessment Tool.

Principal Publisher analytics

We offer A/B testing and personalization service
We work with Adobe Target
It’s integrated with Adobe Analytics
Personalization
- Allows you to display customized web content to users
- Examples include geographic, mobile vs desktop, new vs returning users etc.

How does A/B testing work?
- Traffic is randomly allocated to different variations
Example - My Service Canada Account - Requesting access code
- Ran a test for 7 days using 4 different variations to see which had the highest click-through rate

We keep a library of past testing on GCPEDIA
These tests support digital government
- Digital ambition
- Policy on Service and Digital
- Digital Standards
This is a cost-recovered service
Institutions can get access to Adobe Target to create and manage your own tests and personalizations
We offer training and support
Contact us: gc.analytique-analytics.gc@servicecanda.gc.ca

Question: How can we add to the library?

Answer: Just reach out to us and we can add it.

DTO - Institutional landing page

Launched this week. More details can be found here: New stabilized institutional landing page template
ILP is the mandatory landing page for institutions and agencies
We’ve stabilized the Beta version (available since 2021)
We’ve clearly marked which elements are mandatory and optional
You can reuse elements for other web purposes

Question: Are we back to using images for Ministers?

Answer: When we took out the pictures, we saw that many departments used images anyway. Then we were specifically asked to include the images for this iteration.

Question: Is the WET 4 version updated with the new ILP components?

Answer: Yes, everything should be good, the changes were merged into WET 4 today.

Discussion - Meli-melo - Principal Publisher

There are only a few users that have implemented the older version of meli-melo that caused problems
This situation is similar to ROT - it’s up to departments to make sure content is working properly

Question:

It can be difficult to keep up these developments without any notice. Is there any plan to ensure that a similar problem doesn’t happen again?

Answer:

Meli melo is a way to experiment. Principal Publisher gives departments a checklist, and we’re here to help. It’s not a service that will expire that we can give notices about.

If a deprecated Meli-melo stays on the page, it doesn’t necessarily mean that pages will break.

Question:

Could there be a heads up before moving from one version of Meli-melo to another?

Answer:

The dates are indicated on the page Méli-mélo features - Canada.ca (wet-boew.github.io)
