I was trying to create a bar chart that showed the number of ideas created each month for a specific portal. However, I was unable to group the "Idea created at" field into months and I was unable to filter by portals in the pivot table. This prevents me from creating portal specific reporting/charts and forces me to export the data to a different tool to create my reports/charts. There are other reporting shortcomings, but these two are the ones that I ran into immediately.
Aha! reports now have the ability to group ideas by the month in which they were created. This is achievable with the new "Ideas created month" column in reports. Additionally, there is now a filter available for the "Idea submitted idea portal".
I need this as soon as possible. I am not able to create meaningful reports on the activity and success of our site without this functionality, and will have to spend time EVERY month exporting this data out and manually creating these reports.
