Documentation for adding tags to initiatives in Vision

The user is looking for detailed steps on how to add tags to an initiative in Vision. Currently, only users with a Manager role can do this, but the documentation lacks specific instructions for managers. This feature request is for creating or updating documentation to include these steps.

Ability to identify projects that we want to bring to our base/organization

We have 4 people assigned to the Spark Lab. The 3 uniform wearers are from different career fields, so I ask them to start searching in VISION for project to include archived that other cell or bases have input to see if it is something that we can bring to our base to help personnel execute the mission better and cheaper. I have asked them to click the follow button so that we can track and discuss but come to find out none of us can see what the other people are following in the shop. We either have to look at their computer or search for it ourselves and save it. Could we have a way to tag/identify projects we want to review before we begin implementation?

Pipeline and Status Dropdowns

When changing the pipeline step or status while managing an initiative, sort the options by precedence vs. alphabetically. It’s frustrating to figure out the priorities as VISION defines them.

Display Numbers Mismatch

In both exploring initiatives and in the my initiatives sections, the dropdown allows you to show 6, 12, 24, or 48 initiatives. The default view for showing 6 actually shows 10 (which is more standard). Recommend changing views to 10, 25, 50, and 100 for nice round numbers and a longer list for mindless scrolling.

Update Token Amounts

Allow updates to token amounts after uploading to a Token Event. However, also show history of the requests and final costs with more usable links to the project itself.

Provide the ability for designations within Token Events to be searchable by name and email

Create additional funding options

I would like to able to add different pots of money and different FY’s so that way it accurately reflects in my analysis. Currently I can only edit my funding option, not add to it. I would like to be able to show that some of the money came from local O&M (SIF), SIF Market PLACE, MIPR, SPF, etc. Also, some of our projects get funded in different FY’s and I would like the data to accurately reflect that.

Create Initiative- One click away

Can we get a create initiative button that is obvious to a new user? Having it hidden in the drop-down people have to click multiple times to figure out where it is. It is not obvious to a newer user and there shouldn’t have to be training involved with submitting an initiative (we have gotten 3 phones calls asking where to submit this month). I understand that this may be because we are wanting people to search for initiatives instead of just submitting right away. A countermeasure to that could be a pop up after they click on the “create initiative” button there is a pop-up that says something like “Does your initiative already exist?” Yes, No, Unsure and then when they click unsure it directs them to use the search. Kailen.kistler@us.af.mil for more information.

Upload more than 1 document at a time

When uploading documents to my initiative I can only upload 1 at a time and it would be more efficient if I could upload/ drop all my documents at the same time.

Add functional areas and technology types to create initiative process

Provide users with the ability to add functional areas and technology types upon creation so that it removes the burden on the managers while still making the initiative searchable

Add RoME metrics to initiative home page

Ability to see the RoME metrics from the main initiative page so that users can easily see they can add metrics to their initiative

Add links for users to access drop down options from initiative home page

Users have reported that they didn’t know features existed that were in the drop down list so this will provide hyperlinks from the front page of the initiative to help them navigate to those features more easily.

Document title bug that skews the proportions of the initiative

Currently when a document name is really long it will expand the document box and everything on the page will be out of proportion to one another

Date of position added to profile details

Add a date field where users can identify how long they will be in this position so that when it gets close to the date it could send a notification to update profile details and assign new leads to the projects

Ability to add attachments on RoME goals/situation reports

We need a way that we can provide validation/documents for how we arrived at certain calculations. Adding attachments on goals/situation reports would give us the ability to do that

Add functional areas and technology types to create process

On 'create initiative' add functional areas and technology types drop down selection instead of depending on the manager to add all of the fields

Order task milestone by due date

Users would have the option to be able to sort by due date instead of when the milestone was inputted.

System Announcements

Operational Imperative Tie In

Allow for the 7 Operation Imperatives to be tied in to see how the proposed innovation helps support those. This could help with identifying priority or similar workloads.

Public chat

Provide the ability to have a forum on each project where we can go to the project and ask questions without having to join the team
