It would be great to be able to define in Aha! what "company" or "account" each Ideas Portal user belongs to. After the company information is available, we would then want the ability to filter and sort the Manager Portal Users screen by this field. We would also want the ability to filter ideas by company so that we can easily see everything that has been submitted/added by users at that company. Adding similar filtering to the Ideas Portal itself would allow users to see everything others at that company have added (i.e. My Company's Ideas). The ability to see all the ideas that users at the company have voted on would also be helpful.

This idea is also something that would be useful to us. Somewhat related to https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/APP-I-567

this is becoming increasingly important as my user base increases - I need to be able to see what department mu users belong to

For any external user of our portals, we want a company field on their profile instead of just Name and Address. an Email domain is not often enough to differentiate between our customers. I way want to broadcast a list of all ideas a customer (not contact) has either initiated or voted on, for example. The only way I can do this now is to manually associate a customer to an idea through custom fields (which I would still continue to use for ideas that are sourced internally but have customer accounts tied to them).

Hi all -- To report on this information, it has to be captured. Could you please indicate how you would propose capturing it? For example, you can make a custom field available to your users so they fill out their department or company at the time of submittal. That cannot be forced at this time. Would it help to be able to mark a field as "required"?

We use single sign on and already capture the company name as part of a user profile but we cannot surface it in the portal. If we were to create an api that exported a few select fields from our user profiles into the portal that was automatically was added to an aha ideas portal user profile, this would suffice. However its going down a route that could be resolved just by asking the user to free type in their company name when they raise an idea.
If we used a custom field for this, would we have to make a list of all of our customers for the end user to select from in a drop down?

I would be in favor of a mandatory custom field on the user's profile, however, this could be problematic for data consistency. I think a standard Aha! field for this information would be better and something that we could populate for each user so that we can ensure consistency.

I think there are two separate areas being discussed here:
1) Allowing for mandatory fields on the ideas portal.
This is a good idea on its own, irrespective of the idea being suggested here. We too often have users skipping fields (even the description) and it makes management of those ideas difficult. It would be great to enforce mandatory entry to ensure well-formed ideas.
2) Tracking the customer/client/company associated with a user for reporting purposes
While adding a mandatory field to idea submission could accomplish this goal, I think you'll run into issues with either:
I echo the earlier comment by John Hopkin in that we are currently using JWT to log our users into the portal. It would be a simple addition to pass the information we are looking to associate.
Perhaps for ideal flexibility you could allow for "custom" fields to be associated with a user and then that way we could set up whatever data elements we want for a particular user. It would become important that we could filter (and view) this information in the ideas list view subsequently. That way we could track idea submissions by whatever custom information we wish to, without impacting the end user.

It's important to note that you have the ability on the Ideas List view to filter by and view "Created by email domain". While it does not meet the entire idea outlined above, it does give you some of what's being requested here.

Suzanne, it would also be great to order by domain name on the portal, private users list. We have a private portal and I create all the users up front. Being able to list by company name would be really useful. Ideally it would be nice to have a Company Field which we can fill in & a comments field.

Suzanne, a lot of solutions in this space sync to SalesForce for this info. I'm thinking wireline but also user analytics like User Voice. That would be ideal for us.

For us it would be good to sort in the portal "my e-mail domain votes( or assignments)" or Company. This is for our customers to be able to work with their information and understand their company needs. In addition to this I would like such a filter to include only votes made from the specific e-mail domain or company. This would help to read out a key customers Top list.

Great idea -- I was just about to post this idea myself. My SaaS company is driven by large, enterprise clients. It is vital for us to link users to a specific institution/client/company and to identify all ideas posted by a specific institution/client/company, regardless of the user.

We need the company dimension as well.I believe the company a user belongs to (and perhaps an extra level relating to department or site) is a fundamental dimension that should be deeply embedded in the idea space of Aha.
In fact, we would like to be able to use it to:

Once you have the concept of Company embedded into the portal users, you could then start down the path of capping votes by company across all ideas, or only one vote per company on an idea - allowing you to have multiple contacts per company without unfairly propping up the vote count

Simply looking for a field in the Ideas Portal User to identify Company. As long as I can import or export that field, I do not need a specific report. This is very important to us to manage our Customer Advisory Boards and Strategic Advisory Boards and stay aligned with Salesforce Campaigns. A second nice to have would be to identify if they are a Customer Advisory Board or Strategic Advisory Board Member. Being able to add customs fields to the Ideas Portal user would address several of the below. But just having the Company Name field would address the biggest maintenance issue we have today.

I want to add custom fields to portal user so that I can add additional info such as MRR,Plan information for each voter

Is there any update to this request? It's 4yr old. Would like to be able to do all this in the reporting module - not just portal config tab.
It would also be great to have the SSO response store the company name in a custom field to allow us to better maintain submissions and report on them as part of regular QBRs (vs us having to go back and find ids, export and group by company name..

Would like to see overall more attention given to delivering improvements to the Ideas portion of aha! Seeing as this idea has not been implemented in over 4 years, it seems that Aha is ok with not delivering features that are considered core functionality of other interactive submission based portals.
