I propose that users who post an idea automatically vote for their idea after it is published. This way, it is not necessary to vote manually (and if you forget no one needs to remind you).
I don’t see a case when a user posts an idea that they don’t support themselves. And if that really happens, then they can undo the vote easily.
I’d love to see this. Our ideas area has been open for a month and we have at least 15 ideas that don’t have any votes because their authors didn’t realize they separately had to vote on their own post.
+1I totally agree with this.
Why? Our Product Team actually tracks all the upvotes (and who the upvoter is) and it does play a role for which ideas get prioritized. And they cannot assume that 0 Upvotes = 1 Upvote because the tracking happens automatically and it also wouldn’t give any info about who upvoted it.
So this would actually be beneficial for us - either a feature where somebody’s own idea gets automatically upvoted, or, if that’s too complex to build, even an automatic prompt that reminds the user to upvote their own idea after submitting.
Otherwise we have to remind them each time! In our Ideation “How-Tos”, we do ask them to upvote their own ideas, but over half of our users still don’t do so.
Cheers!
That’s exactly our situation Daniele, thanks for posting the detail about why votes matter that I forgot :-)
Oh boy, I lived this problem on my own idea: https://community.insided.com/ideas/voting-on-an-idea-automatically-subscribes-user-to-idea-4306. Didn’t notice I hadn’t voted until one of my teammates opened up the idea while we were on Zoom! This was after I’d shared this concern with our CSM after voting on this idea

I’m only curious because my team is currently trying to figure out a way to add a status between Open and Delivered and I’m wondering if something like Added to Backlog might be a good option. I promise I tried searching the community for a post explaining inSided’s idea statuses because I thought I remembered seeing something like that at some point, but I couldn’t find anything.
Thank you! :)
+1Hi
In our case, Added to Backlog means that it has been planned for development so it’s closer to being delivered. Once we start working on a feature, the idea status will be changed to Under construction and then Delivered once our users are able to use it.
You are probably referring to the article I linked above which can be found on the Ideas overview page (the first featured topic under the Ideas pipeline widget) and in the News and Platform Updates community category.
Hope this helps, and let me know if your team would benefit from a more in-depth conversation around using our Ideation capabilities!
+1This is perfect. Thank you
+1+1+1Hi all! We’re happy to announce that this ideas has been delivered 🎉 From now on, when users create ideas, their vote will automatically be added once the idea is posted.
