Ideas

Ideas are independent of resources and are a means to store thoughts related to the subject matter of the database.

• Ideas are threaded – new sub-ideas can be added to them.
• The originator of the first idea in the thread is the owner of the thread.
• The owner can set the privacy of the thread (public, private, or group) and changing this will change the privacy settings of the entire thread.
• If threads are public or shared with a group, other registered users can add sub-ideas.
• Only the owner of a sub-idea can edit and delete that sub-idea.
• If the original idea is deleted, then the entire thread is deleted (you will be asked to confirm this).
• When searching ideas, only the relevant main ideas and sub-ideas are displayed. In all other lists, sub-ideas are displayed under their main idea.
• When searching ideas, the count of displayed ideas is a count of all relevant main idea and sub-ideas. In all other lists, the count includes all sub-ideas.
• In compiling a basket of ideas, only the main idea can explicitly be added to the basket. When viewing the basket, sub-ideas are also displayed.
