Idea Portal administration

Idea Portal enables end users to view, submit, filter, sort, comment, and vote on ideas. Idea managers use the Idea Portal to review, evaluate, collaborate on, and manage ideas. An idea admin configures an Idea module, maps idea categories to the Idea module, and adds navigation for the Idea Portal page.

The Managing Idea Portal retrieves data from the Idea module, therefore, you must configure an Idea module first. Consider configuring separate Idea modules for your product, department, or business unit. Review, plan, and identify the following items before configuring an Idea Portal:

• Idea table
• Idea module
• Idea categories
• Navigation to the Idea Portal page

Complete the following tasks to set up and configure an Idea Portal for your product, department, or business unit:

1. Idea Portal navigation
   Configure the Idea Portal URL to enable access to the Idea Portal from the application navigator.
2. Create an Idea module
   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.
3. Define new idea categories
   Create new idea categories that a user can select to associate with a submitted idea. You can also add custom idea categories.
