Manage Your Own Templates

ideapi now allows users the ability to create, edit and manage their own brief templates. It works very much like the dashboard but for templates. Useful for companies with varying brief templates depending on the type of client.

Formatting Help

ideapi utilizes Textile, a way of adding a little bit of formatting magic to your briefs or ideas. When editing a brief or idea, check out the Formatting Help widget on the right hand side - it will guide you as to how Textile works.

Permissions

Add other people to collaborate on your brief, allow them to help author the brief and add idea approvers. The Brief Collaborators widget on the right hand side of the brief allows you to easily assign the right permissions.

Upcoming Features

  • New and improved Dashboard with notifications of tasks outstanding and the ability to sort briefs into Job Bags.
  • Improved functionality for adding users to your account.
  • Brief meta data, including dates, responsibilities, client, etc.
  • Brief attachments.
