What is a Board

In Suggix, a Board is the core unit for collecting and displaying user feedback. Each Board usually represents a specific feedback type, such as Feature Requests, Bug Reports, or Ideas. Every Board has its own:
  • Public URL
  • Display rules
  • Submission form
  • Voting and interaction settings
A single workspace can contain multiple Boards to organize different kinds of feedback.

General Settings

Board Name

The name of the Board shown in both the admin panel and the public feedback page.
  • Example: Feature Requests
  • Use a clear and descriptive name that reflects the Board’s purpose

URL

The public access path for this Board.
  • Format: https://your-workspace.suggix.com/{board-slug}
  • You only need to edit the slug, for example feature-requests
If the Board is already shared publicly, avoid changing the URL to prevent breaking existing links.

Description

A short description displayed at the top of the Board page to explain its purpose.
  • Example: Got an idea? We'd love to hear it!

Public View

These settings control how the Board is displayed and used by public users.

Read-only

When enabled:
  • Users can view existing posts only
  • New posts cannot be created
This is useful for announcement Boards, public roadmaps, or archived feedback.

Allow anonymous users to post

When enabled:
  • Users can submit feedback without logging in
  • Posts are marked as submitted by anonymous users
Allowing anonymous posts may increase spam. Review public submissions regularly if this option is enabled.

Show voters and comment likers

When enabled:
  • Users can see who voted on a post
  • Users can see who liked comments
Use this when public identity is important for community discussion. Disable it if you want voting and comment reactions to feel more private.

Show votes count on posts

When enabled:
  • Posts display their total vote count
  • Users can quickly identify popular requests
  • Your team can use votes as one input for prioritization
Once saved, these changes immediately affect the public Board view.

Custom Forms

Customize the text users see when creating a new post.

Title Placeholder

Placeholder text for the post title input field.
  • Example: Briefly describe your idea

Details Placeholder

Placeholder text for the post details input field.
  • Example: Add more context, screenshots, or use cases

Button Text

The text displayed on the submission button.
  • Example: Create Post
  • Example: Submit Feedback
The live preview shows how the submission form will appear to users.
Clear placeholder text significantly improves the quality of submitted feedback.

Tags

Tags help categorize and filter posts within a Board.
  • Click Add Tag to create new tags.
  • Use tags for feature areas, priority levels, product modules, or customer segments.
  • Examples: UI, API, High Priority, Enterprise
Consistent tag usage makes feedback easier to manage and analyze over time.

Danger Zone

Delete Board

Permanently deletes the Board.
Deleting a Board is irreversible:
  • All posts, comments, and votes will be permanently removed.
  • The public URL will stop working immediately.
Make sure the Board is no longer needed before deleting it.
