When you've got an idea to share with the community, you create it in the way you might
create other content, such as a document. Here are the steps:
- Click New > Idea.
- Choose the location in the community where you want to put your idea. For
example, you could put it in a space, group, or project related to the idea.
Keep in mind that some places might not support creating ideas in them.
- Give the idea a title and type your idea into the big area under the title. Note
that you can do special formatting just as you would for other content.
When
you're typing your idea's title, you might get a list of ideas with similar
titles. This is a chance for you to avoid posting an idea that's already in
the community. If you see something that looks similar, take a look at it
before you save your idea.
- If your community allows it, you can create your idea anonymously. To do that,
under your idea's description select the Create idea as guest user check
box. This will ensure that your name isn't associated with the idea in the
community.
- If your community's ideas include the ability to set special information, look
for those settings above the Tags are.
- Add tags or apply categories that will help people find and keep track of your
idea.
- Set collaboration options if needed.
- Click Create Idea.
