The company suggestion box.

boite-a-idee-illustration

This application offers users an additional means of expression within a given framework: the company suggestion box.
The Suggestion Box application allows companies to collect and capitalize on individual ideas by giving them global and therefore collective visibility.

This is ideation. All ideas can be submitted. However, a moderation phase reveals the most relevant ones to all users.
The Suggestion Box application can be used in a global context or a more specialized one (professions, projects, services…).

The application implements three roles:

  • Users launch ideas and can participate in others,
  • Approvers validate ideas to make them visible to Users,
  • Readers consult validated ideas, vote, and comment.

A user shares an idea by entering a title and a rich description. They can attach one or more files.
By default, this idea is a draft. In this state, the user can make modifications in complete confidentiality. Once all elements are satisfactory to them, they can submit the idea for approval.
Users with the Approver role receive a notification and review the idea. An approver can then either approve or reject it.
This is a classic validation: the decision of a single approver is sufficient to approve or reject the idea.
In case of rejection, the approver enters the reason. A notification containing this reason is sent to the idea initiator and other approvers. The idea moves to the Rejected state. It remains visible in the application to the initiator and approvers until its deletion. Depending on the reasons for rejection, the initiator can then enrich their idea or modify it more deeply.
In case of approval, the approver can enter a comment to provide additional information (scope limitation, orientations…) and thus enrich the idea. It moves to the Approved state and becomes visible to all readers of the application. The approver can modify an idea afterwards.

Each reader can then participate more or less actively in the submitted idea. They can consult the idea in detail, react by leaving comments and/or voting. The purpose here is to enrich the idea through confrontation with the greatest number, to push the idea further based on feedback from other users, collaboratively. Voting is based on the principle of a rating between 1 and 5 and is decoupled from comments.
Each user can subscribe to the application to be automatically notified of each new approved idea. In order to have the widest possible reach, each user can notify other users thanks to the Notify action present on each idea.

An editorial area is present on the main page of the application. It can be modified by Approvers to deliver the message of their choice to Users (reminder of rules, scopes, images, videos…).
