Hi Keji,
Yes, this does help, thanks.
I don't see an "I disagree with it" option but I get the gist of this, so I'll do as you suggest and focus on the votes (now I know our feelings don't really matter ;-) I guess we just didn't realise that whilst the options are in an order, they're not in order, so to speak...
Many thanks,

Hi Georgina,
My apologies, the ordering of the "How does it make you feel" options should have been randomised as it was not intended to imply an ordering, but that didn't occur.
The feeling it inspires is an indicator to see how most people view a particular idea, i.e whether it is a basic expectation of the system, something people don't like, are not really bothered about, don't expect but would actually like a lot etc.
So for example, 'I disagree with it' means you dislike having it, or if the option to turn it off was available, you would turn it off whereas I like it may mean you don't expect it but would really like this if it was available.
The vote is ultimately what matters, you may vote for an idea you expect with a 3 and another you also expect with a 5. Whilst they are both what you would consider basic feature, one may still be important than the other. Similarly, there may be a feature that you didn't particularly expect, but actually, you would prefer to have that over a feature you did expect.
I'd say to use your vote as the primary indicator for how important it is to you, relatively to everything else. (2 ideas voted as 5 are as important as each other to you, but they may actually make you feel differently i.e you may really like one, and expect the other).
I hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Keji

Hi Keji,
I'm afraid we've been foiled at the first page! We don't understand the options in the question "How would having this feature make you feel?"
"Dislike it" must mean if you implemented the feature it would cause us problems (surely features would be implemented as optional wherever possible though), "I can live with it" is an annoying feature but one that wouldn't cause us problems, and "neutral" is neutral. But at the other end of the scale, "I expect this" comes before "I like it" which seems very strange (and I often want to say both). Surely if we expect a feature, it is a key feature that must be included and this is therefore the strongest response? "I like it" sounds as though we only think it would be a nice enhancement and it's not actually that important. The order of the options suggests you see this differently, though - can you please clarify your intentions?
Maybe others who've filled it in can comment on whether they've put "I expect it" for features that are really critical, even though it's only the fourth not the fifth option. We could all be responding with different interpretations of the answers :(
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Talis Aspire Ideas - 2012 Survey
Hi Christina,
I appreciate that the ideas survey is quite large and is probably a bit daunting. We are trying to draw a line under the last 3 years of ideas, whilst giving all ideas a fair chance.
As the forum has become an annual forum, we should never end up with such a large list again.
Sections
There are two sections to the survey:
* The first is for Ideas "Under Review" which have been grouped by the area of the system they address e.g. List editing, Bookmarking etc.
* The second section is everything else, i.e. deas which have low votes, or a low number of customers (again we have grouped these by the area of the system they relate to)
So perhaps you might want to tackle each section by the areas of the system you would most like to improve and vote on those ideas if they are relevant to you.
Voting
* The numbers is your vote, which is on a scale of 0 - 5 where:
* 0 (or a blank) means its unimportant to you
* 5 means it is most important to you
* It does not have to add up to 25 but what we do ask is that you think about your vote for an idea relative to the votes you give other ideas.
* E.g if you vote for Idea 1 with a 5 because its extremely important to you, when you are voting for Idea 2, if it is less important to you than idea 1, then it should not really be voted 5 even if it is something you would like.
If you need further detail about any of the ideas, you can find them in the Ideas Archive (http://ideas.talisaspire.com/forums/32805-talis-aspire-ideas-archive), copy paste the title of the idea and it should bring up the details.
Alternatively, contact me for further detail.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the over 30% of customers who have responded to this survey already. Remember, the survey will close on 7th Feb 2013.
Regards,
Keji

Anybody got any good strategies for breaking down the list of ideas under review so that it's not so monolithic? Given that anything no-one is interested in will get axed, getting through the whole list is important, but I must admit that I don't necessarily understand half the ideas on a first reading, so would like to be able to tackle it section by section. Also, what are the numbers meant to mean? Do they have to add up to a maximum of 25, or can we have as many as we like. I'm assuming a high number means we're keen on an idea and a low one means not?
