Ideas - an overview
Feature Availability
Overview
The Ideas module in Zoho Connect gives a dedicated space to share, discover, crowdsource, and evaluate the most impactful ideas from everyone in an organization. Additionally, they can be categorized and placed in context, bringing the best ideas to the attention of managers and decision-makers.
Every idea is associated with two important elements — categories and status.
- Categories
Categories help to group ideas shared around a similar topic. They give context to every idea and make it easier to search and filter them.
- Status
Status helps you to track the progress of an idea. By default, you'll have three statuses— new, in progress, and completed. Additionally, network admins can create custom statuses as per their organization's requirements. These statuses are common to the entire network.
Categories can be specific to a Group or the network wall, whereas, status is common to the entire network.
