Congrats to Polaris Crisis Management Challenge Winners

 

Hello Innovative Users!

Pairwise has concluded for the Polaris Crisis Management challenge and we have our winners!

Designed to focus specifically on ways the system can improve handling of large-scale, long-term closures, this challenge garnered 24 ideas and received 611 votes!

 

The Winners 

 

Submission: Ability to bulk change due dates

Inspired by: Idea submitted by Debra Wischmeyer

Proposed for: Polaris 6.8, H1 2021

 

Submission: Bulk add to dates closed policy table

Inspired by: Idea submitted by Cecilia Smiley

Proposed for: Polaris 6.8, H1 2021

 

“We’ve received a lot of requests recently for bulk changing dates,” said Samantha Quell, Polaris Product Owner. “I am very glad these ideas ranked so highly in the pairwise challenge. With the implementation of these features, we can make it easier for staff to make these bulk date changes without requiring the use of SQL scripts. “Remember, submissions live on in Idea Lab and our Always Open Space never closes. If you submitted an enhancement that is still important to you or you’ve just discovered a development opportunity, the Always Open space provides a place to post that idea for any Polaris product.
