Good morning, crew!

Last week in @HawleyKane’s April Release Preview, she shared one of the upcoming features that was an idea submitted by @Donald.Watson here at Blackbaud. The idea was to allow Power Users the ability to impersonate a user. Since this permission was only available to Super Admin, this update will help our support team troubleshoot for our customers as power while helping limit the number of Super Admins in the system (governance!)  

This got me thinking, what are some ideas out there that you’d like highlight? One of the cool things about having this group is we have a group of likeminded people that probably have the same needs, so why not get some good ideas in front of the group so we can raise those upvotes? Go check out the ideas! In the comments below, share an idea that you think would be beneficial and that needs some upvotes for the dev team.

        another we can hopefully get some traction on for Instructor Management:

        it’s only got 4 votes and am hoping this could be of interest to you all.

        Thank you.

          @steveninfinger - a proposal - we need a virtual voting rally.

          The idea is we all get together in Zoom and hear the pitch for an idea from X people (I dont know what X is). 

          We are then given the idea url.

          And the attendees bombard the idea right then and there.

          We tilt the idea towards “products attention” by getting a bunch of users all together at the same time to say we need this.

          I suggested this for another platform and we pretty successfully rallied 30+ votes per session at a live conference or two. If we do it virtually? Well - we would get a ton of peeps.

            Who would be willing to organize the ideas in way that we can promote the ones we think are the best to move forward? No easy way to pull then from this site.

            @dklinger I’ve been wanting to do another unofficial user group, and that could be an item on the agenda. What I’ve done in the past user groups that is similar to your idea is as ideas or needs come up in the conversation someone is assigned as the idea submitter, and they add the idea right then, and share the link for everyone to go upvote. 

            In the post about the the user  group we could also “require” an existing item that you’d like upvoted and your ticket for entry (the invite to the meeting), then all of those could exist in one place for the call.

             

            I’m sure there are other ways to do it as well, those are just 2 that came to mind. I’ve been MIA lately because my main LMS Admin took another job so I’ve been swamped, so not sure when I’ll get another call put together, but I’d like to think early June. How’s that sound?
