Add an Ideation Blog to the community
If we are a community owner, we can add ideation blogs to the community to enable members to share and vote on ideas that are relevant to the community. A community can have multiple ideation blogs.
An ideation blog is a place where community members can share and promote ideas in a dynamic way. By capturing ideas in a central location, we can use the creativity of the members and encourage them to brainstorm, develop, and refine innovative concepts that support the community's goals.
Ideation Blogs belonging to public communities are visible to everybody. Ideation Blogs created for restricted communities are visible to community members only.
To create an Ideation Blog for the community.
- Select Ideation Blog in the community's overview page.
- Click Start an Ideation Blog.
- Complete details for the ideation blog, such as blog name and address and click Save.
