Adding an Idea Stage

You can add stages that capture your community's view of the phases or steps an idea might go during its life. The stages you add will appear in a dropdown, where an admin can select the stage while editing the idea.

You add new stages through the admin console. After you add the stage, you can configure it as described in Managing Idea Stages.

Admin Console: Ideas > Idea Settings > Add Stage

To add a new stage:

In the admin console, on the Add Stage page, enter information as follows:
- Stage Name -- Enter the text that should appear in the dropdown where an administrator assigns the stage.
- Background Color -- Click Select color to choose a color for the box that surrounds the stage's name in content lists.
- Text Color -- Click Select color to choose a color for the stage name's text.
Click Save.
The Sample Text value shows what the stage name will look like in the community.
