Brightidea's 'Drafts' feature allows users to save their incomplete submissions as 'drafts' either automatically (as users are entering a submission) or manually. Let's get to the info below.
Getting Started
- First, add the "My Drafts" widget to one of your Challenge/WebStorm pages where users can easily find their drafts.
- It will show all pending drafts for the user when they save submissions to be drafted - or when the submission is automatically saved.
- A submission is automatically saved once after five seconds once the user stops typing their submission description on submission page.
- If the user manually selects the "Save Draft" button on the submission page, they will see a popup confirmation show up automatically above the title as confirmation their draft was saved:
Drafts widget:
- The widget automatically shows the user's saved drafts.
- The timestamp for when the draft was saved is reflected after the title.
- The user can select the delete icon to the left of the title to completely remove the draft from their saved list:
Member Landing Page:
- The member landing page (if used on your Brightidea site) will also display users' saved drafts in the "submissions" tab.
- Selecting the "X" icon will allow the user to delete any saved drafts.
- Selecting the title or "Edit" will bring the user to the submission page to continue where they left off.
Is there a way to see how many idea drafts are in a particular Webstorm?
Hi Damian,
Unfortunately, there is no reporting or functionality to view saved drafts of other users.
Thank you,
Brightidea Support
I agree with Damian! It would be great as the Administrator to see what's "out there" in terms of drafts that can't be seen by anyone else! I think we have some perfectionists and idea hoarders in our teams! Even if the user activity report could show how many drafts each user currently has saved, it would be a huge help.
Thank you for considering this.
Is it possible to disable the "Save draft" option?
Can the administrator view the list of submissions in Drafts mode?
Hi Katyal,
Administrators cannot view submissions of any other Users. Only the User that created the Draft can see them.
