Idea Status

Each idea in your community has a status that shows community members the progress of Idea as it is considered and/or implemented.

What statuses can an idea have?

• Inbound: Default status for Ideas created by un-authenticated widget users. These ideas are queued up to be either approved by the Member himself after authentication or by an authenticated Moderator.
• Active: Default status for Ideas created by authenticated Members. Ideas in this state are visible in most screens.
• In Review: Idea is being reviewed & will possibly be implemented.
• In Progress: Idea is actively being worked on.
• Complete: Idea has been implemented.
• Closed: Idea will not be considered. The Idea is hidden from community members entirely.
• Off-Topic: Idea is not relevant in the context of this community. The Idea is viewable and searchable, but not part of the main list of ideas (Popular, recent, etc).

How can I edit the status of an Idea?

A Moderator can edit the status of an Idea by clicking on the Idea detail screen, then click the "Moderate Idea" tab and select 'Edit Idea' .

What are the Recent, Popular, and Hot tabs?

• Recent: Ideas are ordered by date

• Popular/Top Rated: Ideas ordered by # of votes.

• Hot: a combination of recent Ideas and popular ideas.
