The Featured Idea Statuses widget displays the idea statuses you choose to feature and is available on the Ideas Dashboard page template.

If you reset the layout of a page with a populated Featured widget or delete a section containing a populated Featured widget, that Featured widget is deleted from all other page templates on which it appears. If you attempt to reset or delete, you will receive a warning that also indicates all other places where the widget is located.

When members access the widget in the community, they can click the status name to view the All ideas page scoped to that status.

Layout

The Featured Idea Statuses widget includes the List and Card layouts.

From the Edit Widget panel, select one of these options to change the layout. 

List

The List layout gives you a simple view of the statuses featured in the widget along with the number of ideas (if chosen to be included) associated with each status.

Card

The Card layout showcases the idea’s status name in the center of the card with, if chosen to be included, the idea count of each status displayed above the status name.

Configuration options

List style

 The options in the List style section for List layouts are the following:

• Space: Uses whitespace to create space between items.
  
• Divide: Adds a horizontal line to divide items.

• Border: Creates a border that separates items into individual boxes.

Widget title

Enter a title to appear at the top of the widget. If the Visible only to screen readers toggle is on, the title is relayed only through screen readers.

Edit Sample Featured Idea Statuses

Click Edit Sample Content to open a window where you can select sample idea statuses to preview how the widget will look in the community.

Click Add Status to add statuses you want to feature one by one. You can then reorder the content by grabbing it with your cursor and dragging it to the desired location.

Note: The sample statuses you select here are not saved or published to the community. You must add the actual idea statuses you want to feature on the desired page in the community. There is no global source for adding places that would apply it to every instance of the widget. See Feature content, places, and idea statuses on a page.

Click Preview to return to editing the widget.

List item/Card elements

List item elements and Card elements determine what information is included for each item in the widget. Turning off or on the toggles hides or shows the elements. In this case, you can turn on or off the indicator for the number of ideas with the Show idea count toggle.

Number of items

The Number of items slider enables you to indicate how many idea statuses can be displayed on the widget.

More options

Additional options are available at the bottom of the Edit Widget panel:

• Include "Show More" link adds a link to the bottom of the widget to enable visitors to display additional items once the Number of items has been reached.
• Optimize page-load time uses lazy loading to load images as the member scrolls down the page.
