Introduction to the Ideation funnel

Ideas allow you to add a maturity/status to your community content. You can define the status you want to have for your idea.

To add a new status you need to click on “Add a status”. Once the status created you either can move the status in the graph or you can delete it:

◀: Allows you to move your status to the left
▶: Allows you to move your status to the right
🗑: Allows you to delete your status

You can also define the minimum required status to be able to create a requirement based on an idea.

Note: When you add a new status, a new color is assigned by default. You can customize the color using the color palette.
