Setting up the Idea Portal

Prev Next

The Beamer Idea Portal enables you to collect, manage, and act on feedback and feature requests from your users. It appears both in the Beamer widget and as a standalone page, making it accessible for users to submit their ideas directly to your team.

Key benefits

  • Idea Submission: Users can easily submit new feature requests or suggestions through the portal, helping you gather actionable feedback directly from their audience.

  • Visibility Controls: You can control whether an idea is visible publicly in the Idea Portal and Public Roadmap or keep it internal for your team only. This helps manage sensitive or strategic information.

  • Filtering: Ideas can be filtered by visibility (public or internal), making it easier for teams to organize and prioritize feedback.

  • Commenting: Users and team members can comment on ideas, facilitating discussion and clarification on requests.

  • Customization: You can adjust the default visibility of new ideas and change the visibility of specific ideas or comments as needed.

This feature is designed to streamline the feedback loop, prioritize development based on real user needs, and foster transparency and engagement between companies and their users.
