When using async CPMs, DO NOT leverage interface configs. An async CPM may run on any of the site's interfaces, regardless of which original interface triggered the logic! Oracle states that this is "working as designed," meaning they are unlikely to fix this issue anytime in the near future.

And most exciting (for me): we’ve got 70% of users on the new 2.0 toolbox. I’ve attached our analytics report to this post if anyone is interested in concrete numbers.
