View Ideas: All users can view existing ideas, search for specific ideas, and filter ideas based on criteria such as status, creator, and relevance.
Post Ideas: All users can submit new ideas, including providing a title, description, associating the idea with a team, and adding relevant files.
Vote on Ideas: All users can vote on ideas (thumbs up/down) and view the voting results.
Comment on Ideas: All users can comment on ideas, fostering discussion and feedback.
Submit to Campaigns: All users can submit new ideas to existing campaigns or add existing ideas to campaigns.
View Contributors: All users can view the top idea contributors and the top-rated ideas within the organization.
Access Ideas from Compose: Users can quickly create new ideas directly from the Compose button available across various screens within MangoApps.
All End User Permissions: Admins have all the permissions available to end users.
Manage Idea Statuses: Admins can change the status of any idea, including "Under Consideration," "Converted to Projects," "Implemented," "Deferred," and "Patented."
Manage Idea Campaigns: Admins can manage all aspects of idea campaigns, including closing campaigns, deleting campaigns, and editing campaign details.
Manage User Access: Admins can control user access to the Ideas module and manage user permissions as needed.
Export Data: Admins can export campaign and idea data, including details and attachments, for further analysis and reporting.
Idea Submission: Easily create and submit new ideas with detailed descriptions, attachments, and team associations.
Idea Campaigns: Creation of idea campaigns is admin only. Organize and manage focused idea collection through targeted campaigns with specific goals and timelines.
Collaboration: Engage in discussions and provide feedback on ideas through comments and voting.
Tracking & Reporting: Monitor the progress of ideas, track key metrics, and identify top contributors.
Integration: Integrate with other MangoApps workspaces, such as projects and teams, to streamline workflows.
To access the Ideas Module, click on Ideas from the navigation menu, assuming it has been activated by your admin team. You can then view and search existing ideas, filtering results based on various criteria.
Engage with ideas by voting and providing constructive feedback through comments. Finally, you can track the progress of your own ideas and, with admin permissions, those submitted by others.
To cast your vote, click the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down icon.
Once you vote, your choice is added to the tally and cannot be changed. You can view the total number of “Yes” and “No” votes as well as your own vote.
To see who voted a certain way, click on the vote type (e.g., “Yes” or “No”), and a pop-up will display the list of voters for that category.
Select the idea you want to comment on, type your feedback or suggestions in the comment box, and click “Comment” to submit it.
All users within your MangoApps domain can view and add comments to ideas, fostering collaboration and discussion.
View changes to ideas through the Changes tab.
From an idea’s page, click this tab to view updates, including new votes and edits made to the idea’s details. This ensures transparency and keeps everyone informed about the idea’s progress.
To submit a new idea, click on the button and provide all relevant details. You can also participate in existing campaigns or, if you are an admin user, create new ones to focus on specific areas of innovation.
