Ideas Statistics

Question

Hi All&nbsp;We are exploring options relating to the Lithium Ideas Exchange to create a custom component that displays&nbsp;Number of ideas submittedNumber of votes submittedNumber of comments postedNumber of ideas implemented. &nbsp;Our understanding is that Ideas can be treated just like normal boards and that we'd query the board and tally the stats ourselves? Does the response data contain all the "Ideas" elements such that we could determine these statistics?&nbsp;&nbsp;Any advice appreciated&nbsp;CB

This would be super helpful for our purposes too.

Please forgive the ineptitude but in creating these calls, where it's like HTML code, as front-end users are we able to enter these somewhere to create reports? Or do we need access in the back-end?

It would be really convenient for more detailed reports to come out of Ideas Exchange, including regularity of tags and labels, a status tracker to identify how long ideas have stayed in a status for, and how to measure individual ideas as well as figures taking into account how many ideas are moved and merged into others.

Would be super handy eh @ClaudiaS??

After reading the Metrics List it looks like we can fetch the following:

Net Ideas - The number of ideas posted to idea exchanges (Ideas), minus the ideas that have been deleted (Ideas Deleted).

Net Ideas Comments - The number of ideas added to idea exchanges (Ideas Comments), minus those that have been deleted (Ideas Comments Deleted).

2 down, 2 to go..

Can't see any reference to "Ideas statuses" and "Ideas Votes" though.. any ideas?

We are still looking for help with this issue, here is what we have so far:

Number of ideas submitted -- Using metrics Net Ideas
Number of kudo submitted -- Using REST api - /boards/id/<id>/kudos/count we can fetch total kudos for each Ideas board and tally.
Number of comments posted -- Using metrics Net Ideas Comments
Number of ideas implemented -- No solution found ( we can't see anything in the metrics? )

We've looked at the REST call

/board/id/<id>/threads/for/message_statuses/id/<implemented> .. /top/count .. /recent/count ../popular/count

But we are after a count for ALL "Implemented" Ideas to date.

Thanks&nbsp;ClaudiusH!&nbsp;I realise that in my hunt for content about the Ideas Exchange, I've fallen into Developer-land which isn't my function within my organisation (just an entry-level Moderator here trying to wrap my head around the platform).&nbsp;To be honest, it's a question I should've waited to ask because we don't have access to LSI within the staging environment and the production site isn't live yet so we haven't got data to work with or to test how to report on. That being said, knowing what to look out for is handy like the Topic ID filter.&nbsp;We'll definitely set up a manual status tracker so we can report on turnaround times for ideas, and pursue areas of the business who don't progress statuses in a timely manner. I don't think there are in-built reminder notifications?&nbsp;I suppose it's perhaps specific at an organisational level that we're interested in seeing how often certain tags are used, and because labels we're using apply to business areas, being able to compare how many ideas are attached to one area over another could be interesting comparisons. By understanding what tags (and therein phrases or key points) are coming up more regularly, we can attune communications to those keywords and determine whether the strategy of the exchange needs to be finessed if the tags being used aren't necessarily applicable, too broad, or too specific and aren't aiding in people searching ideas so we're not doubling up etc. By knowing which areas of the business are labelled more regularly, it can sensitize a focus on improvement for that area, provide them more resources and make more enquiries. I hope that makes sense.&nbsp;I really only asked because I only saw these types of features in the Labs part of LSI and I think it'd be great to work them in. &nbsp;Thanks!Brodie

mdfw&nbsp;You can use the CSV search export to see every idea's status. If you pull it monthly (or at whatever interval), you can get the data your looking for and then compare the month to month results to see the delta/changes.https://community.khoros.com/t5/Search-tools/Export-community-search-results-to-a-CSV-file/ta-p/37608
