# My Ideas Tab

## Details about the tabs under My ideas tab

***Path: Profile page \>\> My Ideas Tab***

| What is My Ideas Tab? |
| --- |
| **My Ideas Tab** is a personal page under a member's Profile that organizes all of a member's idea-related activity into filtered sub-tabs, such as ideas submitted, owned, joined, followed, requiring action, saved as drafts, or submitted privately. |

A member can click on their profile icon to see **My Ideas** tab under the Profile page. A Profile page is common for a workspace and has a community filter to see any community-specific ideas or notifications.

**Submitted:** All ideas submitted by the member are displayed under this sub-tab.

**Owned Ideas:** Ideas for which the member is assigned as an idea owner are visible under this sub-tab.

**Joined Ideas:** If a member is assigned as a team member for any idea, that idea is shown under this sub-tab.

**Following:** If the member is following certain ideas, those ideas are visible under this sub-tab.

**Action Items:** Any ideas requiring the member's action — such as ideas in the review stage, or contributions in the fund stage — are shown under this sub-tab.

**Drafts:** This sub-tab contains all the ideas that have been saved as drafts by the member.

**Private Ideas:** Ideas that are privately submitted are displayed under this sub-tab. See Exceptions below for who can see it and what it includes.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Who can see the Private Ideas sub-tab?

Only administrators, moderators, and selected authorized group members can see other members' privately submitted ideas under the Private Ideas sub-tab.

#### Will a privately submitted idea always appear in the My Ideas Tab?

Not if it was submitted as an unauthorized user — private ideas submitted this way are not included in the My Ideas Tab.

#### What appears under the Action Items sub-tab?

Any ideas requiring the member's action are shown here — for example, ideas in the review stage, or those requiring contributions in the fund stage.

#### Is the Profile page specific to one community?

No. The Profile page is shared across the entire Workspace, but includes a community filter to view community-specific ideas or notifications.
