Transitioning to enhanced feature request experience

We’re excited to enhance your feature request experience with new capabilities, like searching for and voting on ideas other users have submitted. As we transition, please use this User Voice - Eptura Workplace link for feature requests. We've saved all ideas already submitted and will share more details on what to expect with the improved in-app request experience soon

Got an idea? Let us know! 


We would love to hear from you, our customers, on what’s important to you so we can build features that will address your needs and provide a delightful user experience.  As ideas become better defined through your comments and votes, we will evaluate your ideas on a regular basis, and you can see the progress of your ideas.

When an idea is submitted, the Product Management team will be notified and then provide comments on the idea as it progresses. You will receive an email whenever we add a comment or we change the status of an idea that you submit or have voted on.

Your Vote Matters


Before you create a new idea, please search to see if someone has already raised the idea, and then you can add your vote.

The Product Management team takes many factors into account in order to decide what to build, and one significant factor is votes from UserVoice ideas. The more votes an idea gets, the more the Product Management team knows the idea appeals to a wide group of customers.

Tips on Writing Up an Idea

Ideas can take on all shapes and forms, but to clearly explain what you are thinking, the idea needs to be written as a user story. When you write a user story, it will focus on the business problem or pain point instead of the feature.

Why do this?

When the user story is read by the Product Owner, it will assist them in understanding the who, what, and why. Also, the Product Owner can identify a solution that will benefit the Eptura Community as a whole and with this they can prioritize the development work.

How do I tell a good user story?

In the past it was long requirements that bored everyone to sleep, now we use Agile development and the written requirements are for the user and written by the user

Format:

As a <role>, I want <some goal> so that <some reason>.
