I’d love to see some sort of ability to assign topics to folks from our team even when they don’t have a licence to control. It would help moderators, CMs, and Admins track who we’ve requested followup on a topic. Things like moderator notes are a poor tool for visibility on this.

We would like the ability to email several customers ad hoc from our plug-in.JOs are great for segmented group of customers, however it would be great to be able to email several customers in one go and log it into their timeline - which the JOs don’t do!

It would be helpful to be able to re-order moderation labels in Control so when you add a new label you can organize it alongside others most relevant. Changing an existing label seems to cause others with that label to inherit the value so that isn’t an option.

The ideation module does not allow for editing no matter the amount of time. I believe editing should be possible as in the community. 

Welcome videos and other types of customer Videos have their role to play in the landing page experience.Sharing my wish for a dedicated widget to showcase a standalone video on a Category/Group landing page {not talking about an embed inside a content body}

Twice now I’ve submitted Ideas here and clicked ‘create’ before realizing I’ve included a screenshot showing community members’ names, which I prefer to blur to protect privacy. Unlike Question topic types, there is no ability to edit after creating the post, so I’m unable to replace it and have to sheepishly ask @tom.shaddock to replace the image for me. Sorry Tom!!!! I’m wondering if inSided could grant us a short window of time to edit Idea posts.And now I’m going to click “create” and then see things I wish I had done differently …. 

System emails such as “Account Approved” and “Join the community” have the main CTA URL hardcoded. This means that when we moved away from company-en-community.insided.com domain to our final one the emails did not update automatically, so someone (during a test luckily) ended up on a page like this: It could be a tag much like all other emails perhaps, such as this to avoid having an extra manual step and a possible bad first impression!  

Hello,I’d like to request that the `post_creator_user_email` and `post_created_user_id` are added to the posts export from the backend. Without the a unique reference included in the export it’s difficult to do simple calculations like top poster etc. The only field provided is `post_creator` which just uses name, this can easily match multiple people.  

Hey team, I noticed when trying to upload two individuals via CSV, there was an error that did not allow upload.  When investigating with our team, it was because there was a space after the email address.  Recommend seeing if your system can ignore white space or trim after entries as I could see this being an issue for longer lists of uploads. Thank you!

Product Updates seem to be missing from a few elements of the Content DashboardPublished In filter Popular Topics Popular CategoriesIn seems to be included in the other elements of the dashboard, but if not, I’d like to see PUs included in every element of the dashboard. 

Today when you view analytics data for a longer period like a year or month, the data displays by day. It would be helpful to have the data have different grouping options to better get a view of activity over time. For example, in a year view being able to look at it by month or week, in a quarter view being able to see it per month or week. 

Hi, I’d love to see the total number of pages visited, broken down per user, in the User Dashboard in Analytics. For instance, how many pages John Hansson visited last month. It’s an important indicator of this user’s interest/involvement in our product/company, and it would be useful to see this in addition to the users Posts, Topics, Replies, Likes, and Answers. Anyone else out there thinking this could be useful, too?  

The way Insided do post field (PF) reporting and exporting has changed (I think)….. The way of working currently limits the usefulness of the export file as it only includes examples when a PF that has been selected in Control has been applied. I think it would be better if it included examples when posts include any of the PFs selected. I would describe this as: Current mechanic: Show example when PF X AND PF Y is present. Instead, I think it should show example when PF X OR PF Y is present.  That way I get an export file which I can import into a spreadsheet and use pivot tables to visualise in whatever way I want.  Adding a blank PF could be the way to do this. We certainly don’t want to ask moderators to apply negative PFs to every post.  

Because we don't currently have the option to schedule posts, we sometimes create posts and save them in a "Drafts" forum that's only visible to us moderators. I've found that when I want to edit a post before I move it to a publicly visible forum, there is no option to add a poll. And because posts with duplicate text return an error message, I have to trash the post I've created, modify its title and body content, and then start over. Here I'm referencing other challenges that compound the challenge of not being able to add a poll, but allowing moderators to add a poll to a published post would also allow for a responsiveness to the community, too

When enabling the show mapped features option and then navigating to a new page, the overlay of mapped features from the previous page will still display. Currently, you need to toggle this off and on when going to a new page. It would ideally refresh each time you load a new page. 

It will be very convenient if we will be able to auto map the contents of a meeting's agenda into the timeline entry notes section when utilizing the Calendar integration.

We recently rolled out an external dashboard for use for broader members of our organization that don’t have Gainsight licenses. The direct link/URL works just fine, but once the link is clicked on and the dashboard loads, the URL updates and that new link is not shareable across team members. Is there a reason why the original URL does not remain constant or that the updated link is not shareable? We have a high volume of people reaching out with claims that they do not have access to the dashboard when in fact they are just using the updated URL.  This seems related to this post. 

Currently there is no way to know if a specific topic is closed unless you open it. When there is a long list of topics, it is very useful to close topics when the issue discussed is solved or not applicable any more. Adding a visual icon to the closed topics will help to skip these topics improving user experience for moderators, community managers and users. Regards, Guadalupe

I should preface this Idea by noting that I've changed the Forum -> Subscribe phrase in our community to "Follow," and the Forum -> header.profile.dropdown.subscriptions phrase to "Followed topics." The improvement I'd like to see here is an option for changing the text of an already subscribed topic. Right now, all that happens is the star icon is filled in. The intent is to also provide a text-based indication of subscription status in addition to the graphical indicator. With this change, an already subscribed topic could then display "unsubscribe" or "unfollow." I suppose it could also say "subscribed" or "followed." ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I tried using the plural portion of the phrase, but that didn't work. Maybe that would be an easy way to implement this function using existing code since I couldn't find an actual plurality for the Subscribe phase. Thanks! -Drew

Pretty much every time I go to use the 🔗 link button, I squash my link text when I paste the URL. When you select text and click the link button, the cursor focus stays in the text box and doesn't move to the URL field. This happens in the control and front-end environments. Surely I'm not alone here... It seems to work "properly" if you click the link button first, where it also prompts for the link text to be entered. Hopefully this is an easy fix!

I have a feedback of our moderator which I agree: If a thread is moved from one forum to another, e.g. from English to German, it will be difficult for the author to find his topic again. The original forum should contain a message that the topic has been moved to forum xxx. From my side: I agree with him. It is really the case. Our old forum had that option. So if a moderator moved a topic to another category, the link to that new location was left in the initial category. It was for a topicstarter to find his topic after moving. Such links were automatically deleted in 30 days, so the forum did not keeps them forever.

Hi all, Please, add a possibility to view in moderation panel who liked the post/subject. In moderation panel we see only the quantity. It is important to see the people because we need to understand whether customers or moderators like the post. Thank you.

Hi all, I think that it would be very convenient if there will a possibility to view content (preview) of the topic when moving mouse over the subject of the topic in moderation panel. Now moderators spent time on opening topic in a new window in order to have a look on it. Also, it is convenient because we can have a quick look on content and decide whether topic should be moved to another category or not. Thank you.

Some meetings in the Gong integration are getting missed, or failed, and we want a way for a CSM to be able to flag from Gong that the meeting should be added to timeline in addition to the automation

Currently, the times that display in the product mapper (and probably elsewhere in PX?) are all GMT. It would be more user friendly if these are displayed in the users local time.
