Create Ideas

An Idea is a suggestion or bug submitted to Ducalis for your team to consider. Voters can vote and comment on Ideas, and receive email updates when the Idea status changes.

You can create Ideas in several ways:

Create Ideas from Backlog​

Create public versions of the Issues you already have in your internal Backlog.

  1. Import Issues from your task tracker. Connect Asana, ClickUp, Linear, Trello, YouTrack, GitHub, Jira Cloud, or Jira Server.

    Or create Issues manually on the Backlog page.

  2. Go to Backlog, choose the Issue, and click Create Public Idea with AI.

    Create Public Idea with AI button location

  3. The Idea title and description will start generating using your public Ideas template.

  4. Click Stop writing if you don't need to continue.

  5. Click Rewrite Idea if you don't like the previous AI description. A new description will be generated.

Choose AI language​

Choose the language for AI-generated Idea descriptions:

  • Default language – The default language for all Voting Boards
  • Board language – The language for the current Voting Board

Go to Voting Board Settings > Appearance > Language.

Publish the Idea​

After you're done filling in the details, click Publish. The Idea will be made public. Anyone who visits and has access to the Voting Board will see it.

Manually create an Idea within Ducalis​

Create an Idea from the Voting Board tab using the + New Idea button at the top right of the page.

This is where end-users will primarily submit feedback. Anyone with access to a Board can create a new Idea post.

Import Ideas via CSV​

Ducalis lets you import a spreadsheet with the data for multiple Ideas at a time. This is especially useful for teams who are just getting Ducalis set up.
