Submitting a CoE-driven Idea

To start the process click the Submit idea button available on the top, right-hand side of the page.

As per your current permissions, you are now asked to select a Business Area for your automation. From the dropdown list, choose one that applies. Continue with a Category, Sub-Category, if the case. Based on the selection and according to your permissions, the system loads the list with available idea flows (e.g. Employee-driven idea, CoE-driven idea, Citizen Developer automation, Change request) that can be selected in Idea type.

Important: Make sure you have the needed permissions in order to use this feature, as noted in the CoE-driven Idea section.
