3 Tips for Getting the Most out of the New Ideas Portal

There’s a new way to get your ideas into the hands (and minds) of the Access4 Product Team. The new Ideas Portal is a reimagining of the PRC Roadmap tool. With a streamlined interface and a tonne of extra functionality, we hope to make it easier for our partners’ voices to be heard.

Here’s our top three tips for partners to get the most out of the new portal.

1. Use filters to find ideas that are relevant to you.

You can now filter ideas by category and status, as well as choosing to see only ideas they have submitted or previously voted on. This allows you to restrict the pool of ideas you are viewing to ones that are relevant to you. Filtering to show your own ideas is a great way to get a pulse check for how popular your ideas are so far. You can check what’s coming by searching for ideas that are in the “On the Roadmap” status.

There are several options for filtering and sorting to find the ideas that matter to you

2. Use lots of detail when adding an idea.

Maybe you have an amazing idea, but if others don’t understand it, your idea might not get the votes it deserves! Treat the idea like it’s a pitch. What’s the business case? What’s the problem its solving? How will this change make everything better? Visuals help too – there’s an option to add attachments, so you can include screenshots, graphs, whatever you think best sells your idea.

Attach screenshots to visually pitch your ideas to others.

3. Engage with the ideas of others

There’s power in the community. Adding your voice to the ideas of others is a great way to contribute. With the Ideas Portal, you can add comments to ideas, giving you the ability to discuss the merits of the idea directly with other partners and Access4 staff. You can ask questions about the implementation, offer alternative solutions, or provide (constructive) feedback on why you are or aren’t voting for the idea.

Comments lend weight to ideas you are passionate about, and allow for open discussion of ideas

We hope that the Ideas Portal is an intuitive resource that allows partners to weigh in on what features they’d like to see implemented, without taking up too much of their day. If you are a partner and have any ideas about improvements that we can make (including to the Ideas Portal itself!) please submit your idea today! The Ideas Portal can be access from the SASBOSS side menu.
