How to run an idea board

An idea board is a campaign of ideas instead of questions. You post the ideas, and the people who can respond vote each one up or down from the board’s link. Each idea’s score shows which ones they want most. It works like a survey in every other way: you open it, share it and close it the same way.

Before you start

• For your organization’s board, you need to be one of its managers. For an event’s board, you need to manage the event or have an event role that includes surveys.

Steps

1. In your organization’s menu, click Feedback & Abstimmung, then Kampagne hinzufügen. For a board about one event, use Feedback & Abstimmung in the event’s planner instead.

   

2. Enter a Titel and set Kampagnentyp to Ideen-Board (Abstimmung). Leave Wer kann neue Ideen hinzufügen? on Nur Manager (Benutzer stimmen nur ab): you post the ideas, and people vote on them.

   

3. Choose Wer kann antworten?, as for a survey, and click Speichern. Alle Dodgeball Hub-Benutzer lets anyone signed in vote from the link.

   

4. Click the board’s arrow (Anzeigen) to open it.

   

5. Click Element hinzufügen.

   

6. Name the idea in Frage-/Ideentitel, explain it in Beschreibung, and click Speichern. Its Elementtyp is Idee (nur positive Bewertung). Add each idea the same way, and drag one by its handle to move it up or down the board.

   

7. Click Einstellungen, set Status to Öffnen and click Speichern. Then share the link or notify people, as for a survey.

   

8. People who open the link vote an idea up or down with its arrows, and see its score: votes up minus votes down. Clicking their vote again takes it back, and they can change it while the board is open.

   

9. Back on the board, open the Antworten tab: each idea shows its Stimmen, Herabstufungen and Punktestand.

   

When the vote is over, close the board like a survey: its link then says it’s closed.
