Auto-save function for Drafting Idea

How to save an Idea using 'Auto-save'

IdeaScale provides an Auto-Save function on the Idea Submission window where anything the member types on Idea Title, Idea Description, or response of Custom Field gets auto-saved every 3 minutes and puts them to Draft without having to manually save as draft. 

The Idea Submission Form is filled up with Idea Title, Idea Description, and also the response of a custom field.

Now, members that stay at least 3 minutes in this Idea Submission Form will have the details saved automatically without clicking on Save as a draft. After that, they can navigate to another page but not lose any information. Say, for example, the Home icon is clicked for going to the Home page.

The member will see that all information is stored in the Draft section from where they can pull it up and edit the idea or view the draft idea. The screenshot is attached here as a reference.

 

Note: Contents of Comment section are stored in local storage by default when user will type comment and leave that page without clicking on Submit button.


Members are reminded about their draft ideas via email after 24 (or more) hours since the draft was first saved. The second email reminder will be sent 4 days/96 (or more) hours since the first reminder was sent. The third email will be sent 7 days/168 (or more) hour.

Note: Autosave function for drafting ideas will not work for read-only communities.
