Overview

The OP Ideas Portal is a place for you to share your ideas, have your voice heard, and contribute to Office Practicum’s fast-paced innovation process. Any registered user may submit an idea for improving OP software. You will also have the opportunity to vote or comment on ideas others have posted as a means to show your support.

Getting Around the Ideas Portal

Here are some general navigation notes about the Ideas Portal:

• The navigation bars on the left and across the top allow you to filter the ideas. In addition, there is a Search box that allows you to filter ideas based on keywords.
• Upon login, the navigation bar across the top defaults to Trending ideas. However, you may also filter by the Most Recent or Most Popular ideas.
• The options on the left side of the window allow you to filter ideas by the following:
  • My ideas: The ideas you previously submitted and are marked publicly visible by the OP Product Team.
  • My votes: Ideas submitted by others where you previously cast a supporting vote.
  • Status: Where the idea stands in the OP Ideas process. Read about how an idea becomes a feature for more information about each status.

We may also reach out to you for clarification. If it is a reasonable idea, we will approve it and make it publicly visible for the rest of the OP community to cast supporting votes. At that point, you and others will also be able to submit comments on the idea. These comments are visible to everyone within the OP community. Please read our privacy policy for more information.
