HCL Connections Ideas Portal

Welcome to the HCL Connections Product Ideas Lab! The place where you can submit product ideas and enhancement request. We encourage you to participate by voting on, commenting on, and creating new ideas. All new ideas will be evaluated by the HCL Product Management & Engineering teams, and the next steps will be communicated. While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.

For more information and upcoming events, please visit our HCL Connections page.

    Integrate Etherpad to work together on Wiki drafts and export them to a Wiki article

    Connections is currently very limited in terms of shared work on a document. There's just docs, which require ODT files. Sadly we don't have many advantages of wikis here, mainly versions with diff. Etherpad https://etherpad.org/ is an open source...

    Search in forum AND filter topics by "open questions" or "answered questions"

    Currently it is not possible to search in a forum AND filter the topics by 'open questions' or 'answered questions'. It would be great to add this possibility to the search (both by UI and URL)

    Blogs time zone should automatically match the user profile time zone

    When creating a new Community and adding Blogs widget, the time zone settings do not match the user profile time zone configuration. This is not ideal and is confusing to end users.
