The User Home is a personalized innovation dashboard configured for each specific User. This dashboard is designed to serve as the central hub for Users, providing activity and metrics that inform them of their engagement level and offer insights into relevant innovations. Every innovator can easily see all their Submissions, Activities, Projects, Metrics, and much more.

How To Enable
The User Home feature is not enabled by default. Admins will need to configure their User Home to accommodate the information that their Users will see. You can find your User Homepage options under System Setup > Site > User Homepage.
Admins can choose which option to set users' profile page: User Home or the Member Landing Page.
The User Homepage will have several options you can apply -
- Highlights
- Activities
- My Ideas
- Submissions
- Projects
- Helpful Links
Also, Admins can set the User Homepage to be the main landing page rather than the System Homepage. This setting can be found under System Setup > Site > General Settings.
Important Note: The User Homepage will only redirect Users who log in through the login page or if they click on their company logo within Global Navigation.
Viewing Your User Homepage
Once you have confirmed your User Homepage is enabled, you will see new options underneath your User icon that link to 'Home', 'Profile', 'Settings', and 'Log Out'. If you do not see the dropdown options, please contact your Brightidea Account Manager to enable for you.
The 'Home' link is your new User Homepage that will show everything from User Highlights, My Ideas, My Submissions, Projects and Helpful Links.
Alternatively, you can navigate directly to the user homepage by adding /userhome to your URL, for example: customer.brightidea.com/userhome
The user homepage URL can also be added to your Enterprise dynamic navigation by adding link with dynamic field [User Home]:
The User Homepage is broken down into different sections that are organized for an easier Submission engagement.
Activity Feed
The Activity Feed organizes User activity into two main streams: My Feed and All Activity
- My Feed: Shows content that is only relevant to Submissions/Initiatives you have engaged with
- All Activity: Shows all engagement with the Initiatives you have access to
- Filtering: Allows users to sort My Feed or All Activity by Comments, Submissions, and Votes.
Hovering over Users screen names will also allow you to view their Profile or follow them
Hovering over the timestamp link will take you to the Submission/Initiative that was engaged with
Highlights
The Highlights section will be all engagement other Users have made towards your Submissions, comments, or Initiatives you are a part of.
Here, you will also see a section for Key Performance Indicator (or Metrics) that your account has been a part of.
You may enable such KPIs/Metrics as Ideas, Activities, Submissions, Collaborators, Projects, and Business Impact. Hovering over each of these KPIs/Metrics will provide a tooltip with more information.
Also, Administrators can enable an Administrator Message that will display on all User's Homepage with a custom message.
Activities
The Activities section displays all initiatives to which your account has access. If Admins have enabled the Community filter tab for your User Home, Users will see a filter tab in the top-left that displays which Community they have access to, and can filter all the Initiatives that belong in the Community on their page.
This requires both Communities and User Home to be enabled. The community filter can be turned on by admins under System Setup > Beta.
Note: This section is not intended for Admin Site management.
Initiatives that are in pre-launch will now show a countdown within the Activities tab
My Ideas
The My Ideas section is for all the ideas you have quickly recorded in Brightidea. These Ideas are not assigned to any Initiative and are "free-floating" until they have been organized.
My Submissions
The My Submissions section is for all ideas, projects, opportunities, etc. you have submitted and showing the Initiative that each Submission belongs to. You can also see any Team Submissions that you are a part of.
This section also has a tab that allows you to view any Drafts you have. You can also delete any drafts by clicking the Delete button in the bottom-right corner.
Projects
The Projects section is every Team WorkSpace you are currently a part of. You will see important details, such as the Riskiest Assumption and Workspace Team, for each Team WorkSpace listed below the Submission image.
Helpful Links
The Helpful Link section is a duplicate of your System Navigation. Any link showing under the Helpful Links section will direct Users to the same pages that are set under your Navigation. To edit this section, you will need to edit your Navigation.
