I’m hopeful this idea to add Product as an option to the +Create Topic / Create Idea dialog gets developed in the future. 

To complement that, it would be great to have a version of the Idea Pipeline widget (for the Ideation module landing page) that can be showcased by product, not just idea status. 

Use case: more than one product, wanting to focus community’s attention by product, in those pipeline widgets, not idea status. 

Updated idea status NewOpen

@DannyPancratz  thanks a lot for posting this idea. Do you mean you would like to use product areas in that pipeline widget?


@Marion Frecaut Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. 

My ideal ideation experience for a use case with multiple products: 

  • Create Topic > Idea has Product selection similar to Category/Group selection for conversations and Q&A
  • Idea Pipeline widget can be displayed by Product
  • No need to assign an idea status to get it into an Product-based Idea Pipeline widget

That saves on moderation time because the product ideas go straight to their pipeline widget. 

And it offers a better UX for members looking to vote for ideas on one specific product, rather than combing through all products represented in an “open” status, for example.
