    b. Description: Thoroughly describe your product idea so that community members and the ScalePad team can get a grasp on your suggestion.
    c. Insert image: If at all possible, include a screenshot or image to illustrate your idea.
    d. Product area: Select one or all relevant product areas from the drop-down menu.
    e. Tags: Select or add any tag that might help community members search for your idea.

What's next?

After you initially submit your product idea, it will immediately appear in the Product Ideas section with a New status tag and be open to comments and upvoting from your fellow community members and ScalePad staff.

You can subscribe to your product idea (or any product idea in the community that you support and would like to receive email updates on) by clicking the Subscribe button.

Once a member of our incredible Support team reviews your idea to confirm that it's relevant to the product in question and that it's not a duplicate of an idea that's already been submitted, they will add a Verified status tag to your idea.

Going forward, your product idea may be labelled with any of the following statuses and their corresponding meanings:
Discussion Ongoing: The ScalePad team would like to discuss the idea further, better understand use cases, and await feedback and votes from the community.
Workaround: The ScalePad team has found a workaround for the time being, and this product idea is still in the running for implementation.
Not Implemented: Your product idea may be revisited in the future, but has currently not been selected for implementation.
Implemented: Congratulations! Your idea has been implemented and is currently available in production.

What if you submitted a product idea prior to the launch of the ScalePad Community?

For certain ScalePad products, prior to the launch of the ScalePad Community, product ideas were collected within the applications. 

All of these product idea submissions were automatically migrated to the ScalePad Community and are identifiable because they'll display the username Idea_Migration. For ScalePad products where upvoting was available for product ideas, each idea's upvotes were migrated over as well.
