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 Commentaires et vote, then Ajouter une campagne. For a board about one event, use Commentaires et vote in the event’s planner instead.

   

2. Enter a Titre and set Type de campagne to Tableau d’idées (Vote positif). Leave Qui peut ajouter de nouvelles idées ? on Managers seulement (Les utilisateurs ne font que voter): you post the ideas, and people vote on them.

   

3. Choose Qui peut répondre ?, as for a survey, and click Enregistrer. Tous les utilisateurs de Dodgeball Hub lets anyone signed in vote from the link.

   

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

   

5. Click Ajouter un élément.

   

6. Name the idea in Titre de la question / de l’idée, explain it in Description, and click Enregistrer. Its Type d’élément is Idée (Vote positif uniquement). Add each idea the same way, and drag one by its handle to move it up or down the board.

   

7. Click Paramètres, set Statut to Ouvrir and click Enregistrer. 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 Réponses tab: each idea shows its Votes, Votes contre and Score.

   

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