Idea View Count


Idea View Count allows Administrators to easily recognize which ideas are the most popular in their Initiatives. To enable, navigate to Site Setup > Ideas > Ideas and enable "Show Idea View Count"

Note: Be sure to add the "Idea Details" widget to see the view counts.

On the Idea View page, the "Total Views" and "Unique Views" will display the idea's number of views.

  • Total Views = a user who physically clicks into the idea to views it (loads the view idea page)
  • Unique Views = Number of distinct users who viewed the idea.

Note: A user can submit a vote without creating a view. If they vote from the idea boards page, it casts a vote, it does not count as a view. In order for a view to count, they have to go into the individual idea page physically.

    On the view-idea page, the view count is also visible to regular users (not just Admins).  Each page view is counted - if the same user views an idea multiple times, each instance is added to the total.
