IdeaScale Idea Report
Detailed report on a particular idea. Give an idea number, get a list of who voted, how they voted, etc.
Welcome to the IdeaScale Advisory Community
In this community you can submit an idea, vote on existing ideas or add your comments.
If you would like to submit an idea, please type in the box below or click the submit button. You will be asked to add a title and choose the category your idea belongs to. You also have the option to add a tag to your idea. Tags are another way to identify your idea using key words you feel describe it best. They can help others find your idea when browsing or searching. Tags are displayed in the left navigation area under What we’re discussing.
If you would like to view ideas sorted by the categories, use the links on the left side of the screen under the heading Categories. To return to this page click the All Ideas link.
Detailed report on a particular idea. Give an idea number, get a list of who voted, how they voted, etc.
Some of our customers want to subscribe to a specific category, instead of receiving notifications for the whole site. Our categories are very specific and subscribing to the entire new idea feed would contain 80% irrelevant ideas to them.
Give users the ability to 'abstain' from voting on a particular idea but still show the idea as voted on.
With the vast number of ideas I try to not re-read them, but if there are some that I don't feel strongly about either way I won't vote. Then they still show the vote up or vote down buttons. If there was an option to abstain (think mark as read) that would help me manage Ideascale as a user.
help to export and report on WHO voted for an idea
Include report per user on what he voted
Why continue to allow votes for those ideas in progress or complete? It makes no sense. It would make more sense to "simply" have a list of ideas in progress or complete without seeing the votes. This way a user also doesn't ask "why is this one in progress when it received only 2 votes as opposed to another one that hasn't been done yet that has 17 votes?". So ... remove the ability to continue to vote on those in ...more »

So ... remove the ability to continue to vote on those in progress or already complete ... and don't even show the votes since that info is no longer relevant. The idea has already been "picked up".

It appears that only active ideas are counted. I assume the other stats include all posted content, so this seems inconsistent.
Not a major issue by any stretch. I think users might like to know how many suggested ideas have been completed so they can see how often their ideas are incorporated. =)
For repeat visitors, it would be helpful to get a list of ideas sorted by the most recent comments. That way you can check in and see what's been said since your last visit.
the ability to welcome people back ot the board. So i log in and a window pops up and says "welcome back Aaron, you haven't been here in x days, here is your achievement scores" and included is a summary reminder of my badges and my current score, and perhaps a view of my ranking.
Again, this is a great way to generate engagement through social competition.
I would like to add votes for a new idea in case that I start with ideascale and would like to import ideas and votes from an other plattform.
Add a reporting feature so I can export ideas based on specific tags or authors.
Make the Ideascale Widget customizable for the landing location and display of ideas on websites.
Enable admins to select different categories so widget code will be generated that will display and/or refer people to different categories specifically in a community that were selected to generate the code.
It would be really nice if it was possible to upload a file when posting a comment on an existing idea. This feature is especially important for idea contests which require a visual representation of an idea or a comment.
Maybe attachments for comments are not so difficult to implement as attachments for ideas are already possible?
This would be a small but great improvement!
When an idea is submitted with custom fields data, that data comes into the idea detail page above the idea description. Since custom fields data is most often supplementary to the idea being submitted, it would make more sense that this info would be displayed BELOW the idea description. See image:
http://screencast.com/t/BotkT34oMvT
I would like to see an "Active" category added to the section with Top Rated, Recent, Review, etc.
The list would be sorted, descending, by the date of the most recent change made to the Idea (new Comments, modification description, Status, or Moderator Comments, etc.)
How about adding an opt in box for Admins only to change the Curse Filtering - Auto-Moderate to behave the same way as the default 7 words that are blocked do and/or provide a separate section for additional blocked words vs the Auto-Moderated words for moderators to approve.
The comment field for attachments has a very short character limit (only about 3-4 lines of text). Please make its limit equal to the normal comment limit.
We frequently see new Ideas entered where the author of the Idea does not remember to vote for it. It would be great if, upon submission of a new Idea, the author is prompted to Vote for it. If the Poker-style voting is in effect, this prompt would show them how many votes they have remaining and allow them to choose how many of them to apply to the new Idea. There is a use case where someone is entering a suggestion ...more »

There is a use case where someone is entering a suggestion based on feedback from someone else (for example, Moderators seeding ideas into the system), but this is not the normal case... The author should be allowed to opt out of voting, but the vote should be assumed to be implied.

Is it possible to implement a 'What's new' feature where people can see what has happened since their last login? So they could immediatelly see on what ideas others voted, what has been commented etc. etc. My clients are currently a bit confused because they don't really know what to do when coming to the plattform. Seeing stuff that is currently discussed, commented, voted on etc. would help them to find their way ...more »

My clients are currently a bit confused because they don't really know what to do when coming to the plattform. Seeing stuff that is currently discussed, commented, voted on etc. would help them to find their way around a lot better.

With the revise idea functionality the Idea History should capture the number of votes a idea had at the time the idea was revised. This way, if an idea substantially changes you can no how many votes the "first" version of the idea had before it was changed, etc.
It would be great to be able to download each idea individually. The information that would be most important to me would be:
The total vote
How many people voted up
How many people voted down
Comments with user names by each comment
A "really nice to have" would be to have the ablility to see how each person that left a comment voted.
My use case: I have a community used for our customers to provide feedback on our web management portal and the services managed through it. Each service has it’s own category. I would like to have a separate category within the community that I could mark as viewable only to a specific group of users (My Customer Support Team) so that group can leave feedback without the other users (customers) seeing it.

I could also see this being useful for companies who only want users who have a particular service to be able to see that category.

People who comment on an idea can select a checkbox to watch it, but it's easy to forget to do this and some people always want to watch an idea they comment on. There should be an option in the user profile that allows people to automatically watch all ideas they comment on. Ideally, the "Notify me via e-mail of any activity within this Idea" checkbox would automatically be selected for them so they could always see ...more »

There should be an option in the user profile that allows people to automatically watch all ideas they comment on. Ideally, the "Notify me via e-mail of any activity within this Idea" checkbox would automatically be selected for them so they could always see that the setting is working (and I think it would avoid confusion).

You currently show ideas in categories in ranked order, but not on tagged pages. Could you update?
Add another link under the "Ideas" nav that links to all the ideas you are tracking. I may prefer to view the ones I am tracking there vs. having them emailed.
