What does assigning input mean?

Assigning input and ideas to colleagues allows you to distribute work across your team so that every idea, comment, or proposal gets timely follow‑up.

This feature:

  • Increases internal efficiency by making clear who is responsible for each item.

  • Ensures participants see their input processed quickly, which improves trust and encourages them to return.

Assignments apply to:

  • Ideas (via the Input Manager in each project)

  • Proposals (via the Proposals overview in the back‑end)

How to assign inputs to colleagues?

Default assignee (Ideation and Proposals):

  • By default, every new idea is assigned to:

    • The first project manager created for that project.

    • If there’s no project manager, the first platform administrator.

  • To change the default assignee:

    1. Go to General Tab of your project page → Access Rights tab.

    2. Select a PM or admins in the section Who is responsible for processing the posts?

    3. You can update this at any time.

Assigning individual inputs:

  • Open the Input Manager for the project.

  • Reassign any idea to a specific colleague.

  • The new assignee receives an email notification and a platform notification immediately.

How to follow up on assigned inputs?

Personal overview in Input Manager:

  • Use the dropdown filter to see only the ideas assigned to you.

  • Switch the toggle to show inputs that still need feedback.

  • Use the dropdown to view another colleague’s assignments if needed.

Weekly email reminders:

  • Admins and project managers receive a weekly email listing all their assigned inputs that still require feedback.

  • An input remains in this list until feedback has been given.

Internal communication on ideas

  • Project managers/admins can leave internal comments on ideas

  • Internal comments are visible only to staff, not to participants

  • Find this by: Project → Ideation/Proposal phase → Click an idea → Internal Comments
