Once Build New Idea is enabled within Collaboration Tools, Build a New Idea can be accessed in a variety of ways.
Action Menu
Idea authors reading ideas, may be inspired to create an altogether new idea (vs. something that build out the original idea). In this scenario, the simplest way to Build a New Idea is through the action menu as shown in the image below:
Using Folders & Filters to Build a New Idea
If idea descriptions and content from multiple ideas are to be combined, then individuals can use Personal Folders, or Filters.
First, while reading ideas, they can be dropped into folders as shown below:
Folders are then found on the Personal Tab - here we have dropped ideas into a folder called Combine Ideas.
Clicking on the folder opens the contents of the folder and from here, we access the Build New Idea functionality.
Using Filters to Access Build New Idea
Using filters, you can also combine content from several ideas.
No matter how you get there, here's what you do:
Once you select Build New Idea, you'll be presented with the content that can be combined. In this case, we are combining ideas and comments, selected using the check box. Note that now the person creating the idea is the Author, and this process creates a new idea with a new title. The original ideas and comments still remain in the instance as they were before.
Once you hit continue, you are presented with the idea form in the instance to fill out the area, additional questions, etc. All those whose content was selected for inclusion in the new idea just built are also listed as co-authors.
