Idea Object Help

Hi,
I am trying to find a way where if an USer try to Post an Idea in Salesforce (Idea Object) before it posted , it should come to me (Admin) for the approval that whether this can be posted as in Idea or not? after I approve it should be visible to all Users.

FYI: I have tried the Approval Process but I cannnot create a Approval process on Ideas.

Please help how can I achieve this?

Hello,

 

Yes at present this functionality is not available through UI and with apex also i doubt if we can achieve this. Please vote the below idea if you wish to have this functionality in near future:

Hi Vinita,

Thanks.

But I think this would be done by APex or create a custom button.

I am not good in coding so if you can help

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Create a custom object object with two fields  Title and Idea body (same as idea field) and expose this object to all the users to post idea.  Create a picklist with Status "Approve" or "Denied" and make it visible for admin. use a trigger to create an idea record in the idea object when the status is "Approve". Add a validation on Idea object such that the user should not create an idea.
