With the Ideas board and Roadmap, we are making our product development process more transparent and consolidating feedback in one place.

On the Ideas board, you can find, rate, and comment on product ideas for 4ALLPORTAL, or submit your own suggestions. The Roadmap shows which features are already planned, in development, or released.

➡️ Ideas board & Roadmap

In order to comment on or submit ideas, you must be logged in to the Ideas board.

If you open the Ideas board via the in-app help in 4ALLPORTAL, you will be logged in automatically with the email address associated with your 4ALLPORTAL account.

Alternatively, you can open the Ideas board directly and log in with your email address there. If you use the same email address as in 4ALLPORTAL, your Ideas board profile will be linked to your user account.

Your name and email address are not publicly displayed on the Ideas board. Instead, your profile is assigned a randomly generated display name, such as "silver_meadow".

This display name remains associated with your profile and appears alongside your ideas and comments:

Click the profile icon in the top-right corner of the Ideas board header to view your account information.

There, you can also specify which events you’d like to receive email notifications for, such as status updates on an idea you’ve subscribed to.

Before submitting a new idea, check if a similar one already exists. This helps you avoid duplicate entries and allows you to directly supplement an existing suggestion with your own use case.

Use the search and filters above the list of ideas. You can filter by the following criteria, among others:

Open an idea to view the full details and existing comments.

If an existing idea addresses your concern, you can vote for it and add your own use case.

Use the vote counter next to the idea to add your vote. The counter will then be highlighted in color. If you have already voted, you can also remove your vote there.

By voting, you show that the topic is relevant to your day-to-day work.

In the detail view of an idea, you can add a comment and, for example, describe your specific use case. Be as specific as possible:

After you submit it, your comment will first be moderated and therefore won’t be publicly visible right away.

Specific use cases help the product management team to better understand the need for and impact of an idea. 💪

If you can’t find a suitable existing one, submit a new idea.

You don’t need to propose a technical solution. The most important thing for us is to understand the problem and the context in which you’re using the product. 😊

Example

Instead of saying 'We need an additional button', describe the task you want to complete, what's currently preventing you from doing so, and the result you'd like to achieve.

We moderate new ideas and comments before publishing them

In doing so, we may:

Rest assured that the original intent of your submission will remain intact. The goal is to ensure that other users can understand the described need clearly and neutrally.

After moderation, an idea may be:

Every idea has a status. This shows you where the idea currently stands in the process.

Ideas can remain in a particular status for varying lengths of time. This depends on factors such as their scope, complexity, and dependencies.

For ideas with the Future consideration status, additional feedback can help better assess the need for future planning.

On the roadmap, you’ll find ideas that are already further along in the product development process. These include items with the following statuses:

This gives you an overview of which items are already planned, in development, or released.

Ideas on the roadmap remain available on the ideas board as well. You can continue to vote and add comments there.

Categories and tags allow you to filter existing ideas more quickly and organize new ones.

Each idea has exactly one category. It indicates which product or work area the idea belongs to. Available categories are:

Tags show you which user groups an idea may be particularly relevant to.

An idea can have one or more tags:

Use categories and tags primarily as filters when you're looking for existing ideas.

To make your feedback as helpful as possible to other users and the product management team, follow these steps:

Not every idea will be implemented. Factors such as demand, benefits, strategic relevance, effort and technical dependencies will be taken into account during the evaluation process.
