FAQs Ideas
AnyIdea is very flexible regarding the theme of the campaign, so the idea can also be seen as feedback: While you will receive creative approaches as an idea in a campaign formulated as an idea contest, generated ideas in a product test campaign can be seen as typical feedback.
Scouts (idea generators) can send multimedia ideas with text, photos, videos and pdf files in a few seconds, online and mobile via the web, as well as via mobile apps.
- Anyone who learns about the campaign can take part in public campaigns.
- Only people you specifically invite can participate in private campaigns.
Ideas can be sent as a guest, no registration is necessary. This applies to both public and private campaigns to which you invite specific users. Ideal for one-off campaigns or special user groups to avoid registration.
Ideas can be sent anonymously. This applies to both public and private campaigns and removes the last concerns of users about sending ideas. Many people do not send ideas because they may not fit, be stupid or others may not like them. With the possibility to send ideas anonymously, this fear should be removed.
AnyIdea is open for everyone, all users can register with AnyIdea.
- Automatic registration: If you invite users manually or via csv upload to AnyIdea or a campaign, a user with basic data and initial password will be created automatically. Your users do not need to register. Registration or Verification is no longer necessary, only a new password must be assigned.
- Active Directory: An Active Directory (AD) connection allows your users to send ideas without registration. Users can simply log in to AnyIdea with their login data from their laptop/PC and send ideas without prior registration. Please contact us for more information.
- Single Sign On (SSO) possibilities via e.g. Google are on our roadmap. We inform about new features in our product updates.
You can view the idea of a campaign in detail by
clicking on the “Ideas” tab in a campaign and select an idea, or
selecting an idea from the “Ideas” menu.
In both views, you have a visual indication which ideas you have not yet viewed.
In the detail view of an idea you can see amongst others:
- Title of the idea
- Date of idea creation
- Name of the Scout (if the idea was not sent anonymously or as a guest user)
- Picture(s) and video
- Description of the idea (if created by the Scout)
- Audio transcript of the video (if available)
- Comments on the idea (if available)
- Rank of the idea within the campaign

- Add an evaluator to the campaign
- change the visibility of the idea for other scouts
- entering tags
The idea is visible to all: Scouts, Evaluators and Campaign Members
This is the default setting, i.e. each idea is visible to everyone until a change is made.
If an idea is set to PRIVATE, it is only visible to Campaign Members and the Scout who sent the idea.
Please note that an idea set to PRIVATE is also not visible to Evaluators (Scouts you have invited to evaluate the ideas of this campaign).
After the evaluation you can create a project based on the idea.
Before you create the project, you must define the innovation class for the project. You can either confirm the proposed innovation class based on the evaluation result, or you can select any innovation class. To do so, select an option from the “Set innovation class” field. Then create the project by clicking the “Create” button.
Please note that this action cannot be undone.
In the dashboard you see key figures on ideas related to your company:
- Sent: Number of all ideas received and the relative change, each based on the last 30 days.
- In Evaluation: Number of all ideas that have been evaluated at least once and the relative change, in each case related to the last 30 days..
- In Progress: Number of all ideas from which a project was created, and the relative change over the last 30 days.
This view provides an overview of all received ideas with relevant details per idea. You can sort the list of ideas. By clicking on the filter icon you can search for idea titles and use a filter function.
In order to use your received ideas in other systems, such as Jira or Asana, you can easily export them. Just click on the blue “Export” button within a campaign. The download of the .xls file will then be initiated.
