#### **Default Team for New Ideas and Campaigns**

The first setting, **Default Team for New Ideas and Campaigns**, lets you specify a team where new ideas and campaigns are shared by default. To configure this, start typing the name of the desired team in the provided team look ahead box.

***

**Allow Quick Enabling of Ideas in a Team**

The **Allow Quick Enabling of Ideas in a Team** option provides a toggle switch to enable or disable the ability for users to quickly request access to the ideas module within a team. When enabled, users can request team admins to activate the ideas module by selecting the team during the idea creation process.

***

**Enable Sharing of Ideas and Campaigns with Followers**

The **Enable Sharing of Ideas and Campaigns with Followers** toggle allows ideas and campaigns to be shared with followers of the team or user. Activating this feature fosters collaboration and ensures greater visibility for shared content.

***

**Enable Idea Campaigns**

With the **Enable Idea Campaigns** setting, you can activate or deactivate the idea campaign feature, which supports structured initiatives for collecting and developing ideas. Enable this setting to launch idea campaigns for specific purposes or projects.

* **Domain Admins**: Can create, edit, close, export, delete, and manage all idea campaigns.
* **Idea Admins Group Members**: Can create, edit, close, export, delete, and manage only the idea campaigns they have created.
* **Idea Campaign Managers**: Can manage only the idea campaigns they are assigned to as managers.
* **Other Users**: Cannot create or manage idea campaigns.

***

**Show Contributors**

The **Show Contributors** option displays the names of contributors to ideas and campaigns within the module. Enabling this feature can help recognize and motivate team members who actively participate and contribute to the organization’s innovation efforts.

After making any changes to the settings, click the yellow **Save** button to apply and retain the new configuration.

### **Tips for Effective Configuration**

**Use Default Team Settings:** Assign a default team if you often share new ideas with a specific group.

**Enable Features Strategically:** Only activate features like sharing or campaigns when needed to avoid clutter or unintended access.

**Acknowledge Contributors:** Enabling contributors can motivate team members to participate more actively.
