Hello IM Community, this edition of the 'what you may have missed' series is covering two weeks of data.  We have lots of events coming up, so be sure to RSVP and let us know what you can attend.  Lots of great tech tips below and also plenty of new ideas. Be sure to cast your vote to the ideas being entered. You can vote an idea up or down! 

 

Did any of you catch what one of our community members has been doing?   
One community member has been posting the product name into the title of his ideas (e.g., 'UIM: title of idea here).  This is fantastic and will help us stay organized. This is in addition to the recommended practice of assigning product category and use of tags.  I hope others will embrace and adopt a same approach.  Thank you to frank.daeter1.1 for this great tip!
