IdeaScale Feedback Forum Front End Improvements

I'm building a very complex stage funnel with many stages and functionalities. I love the feature that you can drag stages to visually indicate separation between groups of stages / front and back end.

Would it be possible to give the option to set even more separations - maybe even with a group heading?

If a Build Team stage is used, the team members are basically lost once that stage is complete. There is currently no way for the team to be carried through to a later stage and thus users cannot see who is on a team. There is a way to find them in the back end Community Data Export but that is cumbersome for multiple reasons. The worst of them being that the report only runs one month at a time and those reports show... more »

Anywhere that dates and times are shown in the community, it would be great if they corresponded with the community's current timezone

We've observed that our Community Members/Campaign Owners are divided over the value of downvotes. Some feel downvotes provide valuable data and added rigour to a discussion, others feel the potential for downvotes discourages participation.

One of our priorities as Administrators is providing a consistent and intuitive user interface. Perhaps if the potential to turn off downvotes could be decided at the campaign or... more »

Currently you can change your community settings to show both the tag clouds from idea submitter tags and moderator tags, or just one of the two. It would be great to also have the option of instead or additionally displaying a single tag cloud that is an amalgamation of the tags added by idea submitters and moderators.

Currently, you can only pull the icon into a campaign announcement email, whereas before, the featured image was pulled in. The issue with this is that the icon is too small and square, not as visually pleasing.

This came up when customizing an idea submission form. A custom field was removed inadvertently, and because it was a mistake, the admin wasn't sure which field was missing. An undo button would make a mistake quick to rectify.

I think an undo feature would be helpful in a lot of areas of our software: editing a campaign, editing an idea submission form, editing a funnel, changing customization settings, updating community... more »

I noticed that upon completion of the ReviewScale stage, the Value Factor and Cost Factor data are displayed, but the Constraints data is not displayed. Why are these results absent from the "latest results" display? This would be useful to us.

The only place I see the constraints results displayed is here: https://cl.ly/1j3N0j3a2y0R

Ability to place some Program/Project management capacity into the system typically at the stage of execution but could be done for other parts of the funnel workflow. This would have the capacity to add milestones and tasks with dates. People would use other tools to execute this part of the process (Service Now, Jira, MSP online) but it would be great to be able to do this within IdeaScale. You could enable forced... more »

If you want to email an idea to another user in the community from WITHIN the idea, you have no way of picking the persons email address. You have to know what the exact email address Please provide a pick list of available email addresses. Like you would if you wanted to send a private message.

 

See attached image of the email icon I am speaking of.

When a user goes to pledge $ to a project (idea), the process from that point would be largely manual and not settle through a gateway like PayPal.

We love the Activity Trends in the new Reporting Dashboard. In fact, we love it so much we want to share it. It'd be great to display this visual on landing pages or within the community, like with workflows and leaderboard, to encourage competition and increase transparency with the full community.

To add to "My Community Activity" to get a clearer picture of what the individual is involved in, adding the following:

 

1. Potentially under a "News" or "Highlights" category. It would be another profile item listing their mentions on the site. Would be useful for when writing blog posts appreciating or highlighting a particular user for their contributions.

2. Adding "Team Roles", their profile could mention what... more »

When an user is in the submission tool page of a campaign and there is no idea available of this campaign, below message is showing now.

This Campaign is already being used in 0 ideas. Any modification can affect these 0 ideas.

Can we change or remove this message for 0 ideas?

see screenshot - the first idea title overlaps the second one.

we should allow two lines for the title and possibly truncate after that, but not overlap the second item in the listing.
