Hello Community,

We're super excited to invite all our Developer Community members (both InterSystems employees and not) to participate in our next contest!

💡 The 3rd InterSystems Ideas Contest 💡

🏆 Prizes for the best ideas!

🎁 Gifts for everyone: A special gift will be given to each author whose idea is accepted in the contest.

Hi Developers!

Welcome to the 14th edition of the InterSystems Ideas news!! This time, you can read about the following:

​​​​✓ Hints & Tips for the participants of the 3rd InterSystems Ideas Contest

✓ Brand new Ideas Portal landing page

✓ Recently implemented ideas

After only 10 days, we already have 14 accepted ideas. We thank all Community members who posted their ideas for the Contest. Special thanks to the @Victoria Castillo for posting 4 brilliant ideas! 👏

Make a difference by posting ideas focused on solving real-world problems. Share your creativity with all Community Members and InterSystems team!

Some other ideas were posted during the Contest period but were not accepted because they:

• contained AI generated text

• were the same as the existing ideas on the Portal

• were related to the InterSystems TrakCare product

• were too general and non-specific

Please read the requirements for ideas in the Ideas Contest announcement carefully to ensure your idea is accepted.

If you are new to the Ideas Portal, you can read "Ideas promotion rules" on the Portal Guide page and an article dedicated to the creation of new ideas.

We hope these hints will help you post your ideas for the Ideas Contest.

The Ideas Portal landing page was launched recently. If you are new to the Ideas Portal, please look at it to understand the logic of how this resource works and find useful links. If you are an experienced ideas author, please share your feedback on how we can improve it.
