Sample Flash Idea Form

The Flash Idea Form is used instead of the standard Idea Form when you want to give your users the ability to enter multiple Ideas in rapid succession. When a user completes a Flash Idea Form, a new, blank form is automatically loaded for input of the next Idea.

To use the Flash Idea Form, simply enable it in the Collaborate Space Menu
