Ideas overview page

Aha! Ideas

Ideas give you insight into what your customers want and need — but feedback trends can give you deeper insight into how well you are delivering real value. The ideas overview page provides you with real-time data and insights into your organization's submitted feedback — so you can make informed product decisions and prioritize work that aligns with customer needs.

Once you have created an ideas portal, the Ideas → Overview page will populate with real-time summary data about the ideas that have been submitted. Use it to manage submitted ideas and prioritize the best ideas.
