New Sierra and Polaris Challenges in Idea Lab
Beginning September 12th, you can help Innovative decide what specific “undo” options would save the most time, reduce the most errors, and improve the system for all users.

These challenges spring from a winning idea from the Always Open space in Idea Lab: Undo Function, from Gretchen Allen (Fayetteville Public Library). The Innovative Product Owners want to implement this idea, but since they can't put an undo button everywhere, our community needs to help Innovative prioritize undo functions across various system functions and behaviors.

New to Idea Lab?  All Innovative customers from across the globe, using any Innovative product, are encouraged to get involved!  Anyone from any Innovative library may register for a personal account on https://idealab.iii.com and join the conversation.  Visit our Idea Lab FAQ for more information.

Idea Lab Always Open Space
Visit https://idealab.iii.com to participate in the ongoing “Always Open” space. 
Unlike our previous timed challenges on specific themes, Always Open is a special area in Idea Lab that never closes where users can post ideas regarding enhancements to any existing products in the Polaris or Sierra portfolios, as well as regarding cross-platform needs. 

If you’ve been holding on to a great idea that did not match our first challenges or an ongoing issue from previous IUG and PUG ballot cycles, Always Open is the place for you to submit and discuss your enhancements suggestions.
