suggestions

I am sure these issues have been brought up earlier - anyway I want to suggest

  1. to improve the formatting of the Kudos statistics, right now it is not soo informative Smiley Wink At least the name should be visible (in full) ni.png
  2. to allow for a floating Idea Exchange as we had before; why not move it to the Discussions Forums, discussions in the Idea Exchange are encouraged, no?
  3. that we can start forums.ni.com with the Discussion Forums - that's what the name forums.ni.com says, I really don't care about the featured topics and it takes one more click to get me started

I also would like to inquire about the difference in the Idea Exchange status 'Under Review' and 'Under Consideration' - for me the difference is too subtle.

And I also would suggest to rename the category 'New' in the Idea Exchange to something like 'Unprocessed' - a suggestion dating back to 2010 can't really be considered new Smiley Wink

 

Thanks! Smiley Happy

Hello Wolfgang,

 

For points #1 and #2 we are aware of the suggestion and have captured it to our development backlog. We are tracking this and hope to implement it when priority allows.

For #2 it is possible to float an Idea Exchange board in the Idea Exchange category, in case you need assistance on doing this. You open the idea exchange, click on Options and choose float this item to the top.

For point #3, we could recommend you start or bookmark the following page so it will start off on the Discussion Forums: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Discussion-Forums/ct-p/discussion-forums

or using ni.com/forums will start you off in the forum category.

#4: Can you provide some insight on where you are seeing the Under Review and Under Consideration? You state this is in the Idea Exchange status, can you send us an example so we can take a closer look at it.

#5 This is something we can take into consideration.

 

Thank for you for taking the time in providing your feedback.


Best Regards,

Hello Wolfgang,

 

Once again we want to thank you for pointing this out. We have removed the "under review" status. The 3 ideas that were previously marked as under review are now marked as "under consideration."

Hi Wolfgang,

 

It is possible to float an idea exchange board. Go to the board, click on options, and then choose "float this item to the top."

 

Is this what you were looking for?

 

Thanks,

Lili

Hi Lili,

I miss the possibility to visit https://forums.ni.com/ and see all of my favorite boards at the same time - this was possible before the "new" forum design. Right now boards can only float within their category, and since Idea Exchange and Discussion Forums are different categories I can't have them together.

We are still tracking that request to have a single page for all floated boards. We will address it when availability and priority allows.

Thanks,
Lili
