  • An Idea module defines the ideas and categories that are displayed in the Idea Portal. Create an Idea module to store and group ideas, and define categories based on product, department, or business unit.

    Before you begin

    • Identify an idea table to store your ideas. Use an existing table or create a new table to extend the Idea [im_idea_core] table.

      Use a different idea table for each Idea module. Separate idea tables ensure that ideas for different modules are stored separately.
