Pipeline Engagement Dashboard
Using a new dashboard, you can track where engagement is coming from. It displays the amount of cross-departmental collaboration generated by your challenge and provides insights into discussions across your organization’s silos.
Plus, a newly added map feature tracks where on the globe your challenge audience is participating.
Find Teammates
Team members can now search for other innovators who are seeking specific skills for their team.
Our new Find Teammates feature indicates how good of a match someone is and how likely a person will join a team based on such factors as their experience, activity in the challenge, and whether or not they’re already participating in another team.
Evaluations Tab on View Submission
The Evaluations tab displays evaluation results to submitters (and team members) on the View Submission page.
This tab allows the challenge sponsors and administrators to close the loop with the user base who participated in their challenge - and will give transparency into the evaluations of each submission.
Expertise on Profile and Submission
Employees’ profiles can easily be updated with new or modified skills and experience, maximizing their match to any team once it’s formed.
- This feature allows users to add 'Desired Expertise' to their submission and on their user profile in order to promote desired skills to help build their team with the proper diversity needed to execute the mission at hand.
Judging Tooltype
The Judging step provides the Pipeline Managers with the ability to assign Judges and help find the best submissions using the lightweight, user-friendly judging tool template in real-time as the submissions are being presented. It's responsive to tablets and mobile devices too!
Pipeline Communications
The brand new Communications tab in Pipeline allows administrators to enable and configure certain email templates within Pipeline setup:
Currency Support
Your innovation can reach across the world - so now you can track in multiple currencies! Administrators can now set their system to a particular currency type. The selected currency type will display throughout their entire Brightidea site.
Exclude Research Pipelines
This feature allows administrators to exclude submissions from "Research" type Pipelines when viewing dashboards in Brightidea!
Submission Name
This feature allows administrators to set the submission name that will be used throughout the initiative that they create using the custom Pipeline process.
- Your custom Submission Name will appear in all references to submissions, including labels, widgets and email messages.
