Sections

Sections help you categorize and cluster related Idea Collections together.

Think of them as virtual shelves (HR, Marketing, Products etc) on which you place related goal-driven idea collections, making it simple for you and your team to locate, contribute to and manage them over time.

Benefits

Sections can dramatically improve your team's experience with Ideanote.

By grouping related Idea Collections together, you simplify navigation as you scale your innovation across your company.

This way, everyone can focus on generating impactful ideas without getting lost in the noise.

Access and Visibility

Sections are a purely visual way of organizing idea collections.

• Sections do not impact access of Idea Collections. Idea collections are visible depending on if they have been shared.
• Sections can be added and managed by Admins.
• Section Owners can only add and managed Sections assigned to them.
• All Section are always visible to Admins.
• Sections are visible to Users with lower ranks than Admin if they contain an Idea Collection that is visible to them.

Add Sections

There is no limit on the number of Idea Collections Workspace Owners, Section Owners or Admin Users can create.

You are welcome to create as many Idea Collections as you, your colleagues and organization need.

‍

To add a Section click on the "+ Add Section" button that appears at the very bottom of the page that lists your Idea Collections.

Give your Section an intuitive name that clearly represents the nature of the Idea Collections it will hold.

You can add Sections for company departments, topics, internal or external innovation or importance, it's up to you.

Section Owner

This user is assigned a Section by Admin Users.

The User can add idea collections and create content in their assigned Sections. The User can manage any idea collections visible to them in the assigned Section.

Members can be given Section Owner rights. Guests can not have Section Owner rights.

Admins and Workspace Owners do not need to be given Section Owner rights as they can add and manage any idea collections visible to them because of their rank.

Section Owners visibility to Idea Collection is permission based. They can have access to other Sections where they have been granted access to Idea Collections but will not be able to manage these.

Add Idea Collections to a Section‍

‍

New Idea Collections are added to the first Section at the top of your home page by default.

You can move Idea Collections between Sections by dragging and dropping them between Sections.

Section Owners will only be able to drag and drop Idea Collection within Sections they have been assigned to.
