Community Portal: Feature Requests and Community Discussions

Community Portal: Feature Requests and Community Discussions

Preamble

On our Edval support portal, there is a community section where Edval users and Edval staff can share their ideas and thoughts on the products. This allows for users to come together to help the products grow and reach new heights, to make them easier and more enjoyable for all to use. This document will explain how a user can make the most of the community portal and use it to its fullest capabilities.

Home Page

Log in to www.help.edval.education and navigate to the 'Community' section.
The Community page displays the different product categories. This will help you to navigate to your preferred product to view topics you wish to read about, request a new feature or raise a discussion among the community.
Topics may be searched by entering key words into the 'Search community' field box.




The right hand side of the page has an Announcements section and a Sticky Posts section.

  1. Announcements - These are topics that have been flagged by Edval so that you know of any hot topics or need to know topics.
  2. Sticky Posts - These are topics that are commonly accessed by other users therefore pinned by Edval.

Product Categories

You can filter the posts by type Discussions, Announcements or Ideas.
individual posts will have options to give an idea a 'thumbs up', monitor the status (see whether it is implemented, under review, etc), or you can also comment on it.

How to post a Feature Request

Schools can raise feature requests in any of our products, which are regularly reviewed by our product managers.

For information on how to submit a feature request via the WalkMe function in Edval Daily, please see our knowledge base document.


First search the community to see if the feature you are raising has already been posted by another member.  if so, you can add your vote to the post and comment further to it.
If you don't see the feature posted, click on the 'Add Topic' button.



N.B. When adding a topic idea, please be as clear as possible on what you would like to see. Images may also be inserted and files can be attached.
Once the idea is approved it will be able to be seen by all, so please do not use identifying images or text.



  1. Topic Type - You can select from either a 'Discussion' or an 'Idea'. A discussion will be something for you, Edval and even other schools to talk about. An idea is a function that you may have in mind that you think should be implemented.
  2. Title - This is the header of your ticket.
  3. Description - In this area, please explain as much as possible about your discussion or idea so that there is enough information for the product managers to explore.
  4. Category - Select which product the discussion or idea is relevant to.
  5. Sub Category - This is for classification purposes to verify whether you are submitting a 'Feature request' or a 'Community discussion'.
  6. Tags - Adding tags (key words) will help with searching and narrowing down the post for others to find. Make sure to press enter after each word used.
  7. Notify Me - Tick this box if you wish to be notified when action has been taken on your submission.
  8. Attach a file - Adding images and other files to your feature request or discussion will assist others in understanding your idea. Please ensure images do not contain personal information.
Topic Type - Please make sure you select the type ' Idea' as well the sub category 'Feature Request', otherwise it will not be processed as a feature request by product managers.
N.B. The more information that is provided in the post, the easier it is for us to assist you.
