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 e Votação, then Adicionar Campanha. For a board about one event, use Feedback e Votação in the event’s planner instead.

   

2. Enter a Título and set Tipo de Campanha to Quadro de Ideias (Votação Positiva). Leave Quem pode adicionar novas ideias? on Somente Gerentes (Usuários apenas votam): you post the ideas, and people vote on them.

   

3. Choose Quem pode responder?, as for a survey, and click Salvar. Todos os Usuários do Dodgeball Hub lets anyone signed in vote from the link.

   

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

   

5. Click Adicionar Item.

   

6. Name the idea in Título da Pergunta / Ideia, explain it in Descrição, and click Salvar. Its Tipo de Item is Ideia (Apenas Voto Positivo). Add each idea the same way, and drag one by its handle to move it up or down the board.

   

7. Click Configurações, set Status to Aberto and click Salvar. 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 Respostas tab: each idea shows its Votos Positivos, Votos negativos and Placar.

   

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