Thank you for submitting this enhancement suggestion. Although we are not currently able to offer an institution-level view of ideas, we will continue to consider how this could be implemented in the future. In the meantime, the new OCLC Community Center offers some improved options for viewing ideas submitted by your peers.  It is now possible to:

  • Navigate to the profile of fellow community members to see posts that they have contributed to the site.  On each community member’s profile, you’ll be able to view both discussion and idea posts and replies.
  • Limit search results by post author and type of post.  For example, you can limit your search results to content posted by a known colleague and also limit to only Idea posts.

Please continue to rank for priority and add comments about any specific needs or workflows that we should consider.  We appreciate your feedback!

Description of Enhancement


As a team leader, I want to be able to see all of the enhancements suggestions submitted or rated by individuals associated with my institution so that:

  • We can give subject matter experts responsibility for submiting suggestions and ratings/reviews, but still get a complete picture of what is being requested and why.
  • We can compare release notes against enhancements suggestions and ratings/reviews made by our institution to inform configuration decisions.
  • Staff turnover does not impact processes and corporate knowledge.

This would provide similar functionality to Zendesk where I can see:

  • My requests
  • Requests I'm CC'd on
  • Organization requests

Issues Enhancement Will Resolve


Currently I can only see my individual suggestions and ratings. This makes it difficult to prioritse and manage enhancement suggestions across the institution.


Current Workaround


Our work around involves tracking enhancement suggestions in an Excel spreadsheet before submitting them to the Community Center.
