Got an idea? Let us know!

We love hearing your feedback. If you have suggestions for ways in which Eptura products can better meet your needs, you can share them with us via our Ideas Forum. You can either submit your own ideas or browse ideas suggested by others and vote for the ideas that you like. While we might not be able to respond to every suggestion, our product team regularly reviews all submissions. 

When evaluating your ideas, we consider the following factors:

  • Does the idea align with our business strategy for the product?
  • Is the idea in high demand by multiple customers?
  • Will it benefit a wide range of customer use cases, or is it more niche or specific to a single customer?
  • Is it something we can reasonably build and support?

To stay updated, keep the email notifications enabled to receive an email whenever the idea is updated

Launch the Ideas Forum

As you use Archibus to manage your space and facilities, you might have ideas for new features and working methods. Additionally, you might wish to weigh in on proposed changes, and advocate for those that are high priority for you.

To provide your feedback on the current product and proposed changes submitted by other users, you use the Suggest a Feature command, located on the User menu. In order to use this command, you must register with the Eptura-Uservoice Forum.

Step 1. Register your Company Domain to the Uservoice Forum

The Eptura-Uservoice Forum is a private forum, restricted to Business Partners and customers. To sign up for the Eptura-Uservoice forum, ask your Business Partner to submit a request to Eptura Customer Support to register your company e-mail domain. This might have already occurred when your company placed an order .

Step 2. Assign FEEDBACK Security Group to the User Role

For Archibus users who want to access this feature, an administrator must assign the FEEDBACK security group to the user's user role.

Step 3. Sign up for the Eptura Uservoice Forum

After your Business Partner or the Customer Support team confirms that your company domain has been registered with Eptura-Uservoice, you are ready to sign up.

  1. Sign in to Archibus.
  2. Click on the User Profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Click the Suggest a Feature command. (See above image.)
    • If you do not see the Suggest a Feature command, your user role does not have the FEEDBACK security group assigned. Contact your company's Archibus Administrator to enable it.
  4. Archibus directs you to the Sign Up/Sign-In page of the Eptura-Uservoice forum. If you are a new user, you must sign up and set a password.
    • Enter your email address. Click Signup.
    • You will receive an email with instructions for setting up a password.
    • If you do not receive an email, go to Settings / Set Password in the upper right corner.
