Ideas

Setting up the Ideas module

Overview

The Ideas module enables your users to capture ideas and start idea campaigns inside your company.

Encourage users to post in the Ideas module to share with the management ways to improve processes, create solution to common customer problems & more.

Network admins can manage the idea admins and the statuses of ideas that are under consideration, deferred, and implemented.
