    Before you begin

    Role required: idea_manager

    About this task

    The idea manager reviews submitted ideas and, if necessary, requests more information, and then chooses to accept or reject the idea. The number of votes on an idea helps in assessing the popularity and demand for the idea. Change the state of the idea to reflect its status. Changing the state helps in notifying the idea submitter and subscribers about the progress of the idea.

    Note:
    The idea submitter and all the subscribers receive a notification email whenever there is a change in the state of an idea. A notification email is also sent whenever a user comments on an idea or replies to a comment.

    3. Select the more options icon (More options icon), and then select the Open in platform option to open the idea in the form view.
