Aurora: Create an Ideas board

Ideas are a great way to collaborate with your customers and enable them to submit ideas and view, discuss, and vote on other people’s ideas.

Admins and members with the Create boards permission can create an Ideas board from the Community Structure page. Learn more about Community site structure.

To create an Ideas board:

1. Sign in to the community as an Admin.
2. Open the Account menu and click Settings.
3. Go to the Community Structure page.
4. At the community or category level where you want to add an Ideas board, click Add and then click Ideas.
   
   The Create Ideas Board window opens.
5. On the window, specify the following fields:
   
   • Enter a Name and ID. The ID displays in the URL for the board.
     Note: The ID must be a single word made of only letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores with no spaces. You cannot change it later. 
   • Optionally, enter a Description and add an Avatar for the board.
   • In the Tags area, specify the types of tags to use, add Preset tags, and/or indicate whether you want to require tags for the board.  We recommend that you create preset tags that represent various areas in the community.
6. Click Create.
