Greetings OneStream Community!
As we continue to make updates across our Community, we decided it was time to take a look and freshen up IdeaStream. While we have already planned some changes we'll outline below, we'd like to gather your thoughts, opinions, and impressions of IdeaStream as it currently is. Please take this IdeaStream Survey to help us shape the future of IdeaStream.
In the meantime, we do have some exciting upcoming changes to the IdeaStream site management. Please read on to see what we'll be working on over the next couple months!
Improved Moderation
First, we are exploring ways to enhance your experience and our engagement with your ideas in IdeaStream. In the revamp, we will have dedicated moderators reviewing the ideas and facilitating product review as ideas gain momentum. This means each idea will see dedicated moderation to help enhance your submission process, which will include an initial review to ensure completeness (a request for more information if required) and relevant tagging on new ideas.
All ideas will be moderated within 3 business days of posting and will either result in your Idea being updated from “New” to “Gathering Interest” OR a moderator will request additional information on your Idea using the “Needs Info” status. This is meant to give ideas the best chance possible for engagement in the Community and clarity for our Product Owners reviewing all your great submissions.
Finally, we will update the available tags and categories to better serve the ideas that are being created, and we will continue to update tags on a more frequent cadence in the future.
IdeaStream Reporting
The reporting on the page is also a focus for continuous improvement. We are reimagining our ranking lists to give you real-time insight into what’s new and what’s trending on the Community Ideas page. If you have suggestions for reporting formats or topics, please let us know and we will continue to add to the page!
Audit & Archiving
We are working to make the number of ideas more manageable for you. We know there is a lot to sift through currently so we’re doing a little housekeeping on the site. Over the next few weeks, aged ideas with low engagement will be closed under the following criteria:
- Ideas posted before 2025 with fewer than 3 votes
- OR -
- There is a duplicate idea created in IdeaStream
We'll also be updating IdeaStream articles including Frequently Asked Questions, the About IdeaStream article, and tips for a successful post in the Submission Guidelines. Thank you for your ongoing engagement with OneStream, and all the great Ideas posted so far!
Provide Your Feedback
We’d like to hear your ideas on how to make the process clearer, the interaction more effective, and most importantly to give you meaningful engagement with our Community and product teams.
