Wishlist guidelines

[Noemi Balogh]

What should you know before submitting a new wish?

The Wishlist is one of the most active areas of the Graphisoft Community. It is a place where our customers can share their feedback about any of our products, like Archicad, BIMcloud, BIMx, or DDScad, in the form of ideas to improve the experience for everyone.

Customers with Forward subscriptions/SSA/service contracts can enter new wishes or show their support for existing ones by voting on them!

Requirements for wishes in the Wishlist

1. Check for similar ideas.
   If there is already a similar wish, you can add your vote to it or leave a comment to show your support. Our moderators will try to keep all feedback in one place by merging similar wishes in one, but please carefully check the Wishlist first whenever you want to submit a new idea.
   
   
2. Wishes must follow the Graphisoft Community guidelines.
   Please read our guidelines here: Community Posting Guidelines
   
   
3. Make sure your idea is clear.
   If you didn’t find your wish among the existing topics, it’s time to submit it as a new wish. The more detailed your description of your wish is, the better! It’s easier for other members to know what you’re suggesting so they can add their support and feedback. It’s also easier for us to evaluate such wishes with the right teams at Graphisoft.
   
   Our moderators may change the status of a wish to “Needs info” if a wish needs more detailed description. Please note that if we see no changes to the description within 4 weeks, the wish will be closed. We welcome you to submit a new one with more info.
   
   
4. One topic per wish per thread.
   When one thread includes several feature requests, it is hard to keep track of and update them. If you have more than one feature idea, you can submit each one as a new wish. This way we’ll know exactly which wish community members are voting for.
   
   Tip: Make sure that each wish has a clear, concise title to make it easier for viewer to understand what they may be voting on.
   
   
5. No pricing or related requests.
   We do appreciate all the feedback you share with us but our Wishlist is to help us receive new product and feature suggestions that will allow us to improve Graphisoft’s products for everyone. Please do not post non-product related wishes here.
   
   Changes to pricing and subscriptions are specific to each market around the world, and we cannot influence those. 

Important: Wish submissions that don't meet the above requirements will be closed. To make sure that your wish gets heard by the community, please familiarize yourself with our guidelines before submitting your wish.

 

Wishlist statuses

Below in the table you can read and learn more about the Wishlist statuses.

Status	Definition
Open	Any wish that has been newly submitted by a user. It has not yet received any engagement from community members. Based on the number of votes* it receives within two quarters (6 months), it will either progress to the "Upvoted" status or get "Closed" if it does not meet the required criteria.
Upvoted	A wish has reached the minimum number* of votes and therefore receives the “Upvoted” status. When the wish reaches this status, our Product team will carefully evaluate it and either update its status to “Under consideration,” “On hold” or “Closed”. Please be mindful, that this process may take time.
Under consideration	Wish has been reviewed by the Product team based on feasibility and fit before deciding on its inclusion in the product roadmap.
On roadmap	Wishes are added to the product development backlog either as new Roadmap items or clustered under existing roadmap items, depending on it’s potential scope. While we strive to deliver each roadmap item, unexpected circumstances may arise.
Wish delivered	With the latest release, the wish has been implemented into the relevant product(s) and has become available to users.
On hold	The development of the wish has been put on hold for the time being. Depending on which stage this has happened, it may change back into that state or get closed. Wishes with this status may not be voted on.
Closed	The wish did not meet voting criteria/internal development standards and cannot be implemented in the foreseeable future. Wishes with this status may not be voted on.
Needs info	A new wish requiring further details before voting or consideration. It remains in this status for 4 weeks, after which it will be closed if not updated by the submitter.
