The Idea Exchange is a place for AppDynamics customers to share, vote, and discuss product enhancements that need innovative thinking. Once an idea is submitted, customers are able to vote and comment on each other's ideas.
Here's what you need to know to participate in the Idea Exchange:
First, sign in to Community and then navigate to the Idea Exchange in the top navigation.
https://community.appdynamics.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/idb-p/ideas
PLEASE NOTE | the Idea Exchange is not available to trial or free users.
NOTE | Please avoid submitting duplicate ideas. Community managers will merge duplicate ideas together.
Rally for votes. Once your idea has been submitted, we encourage you to influence your peers and fellow community members to bolster your idea.
Keep tabs on status. It is our commitment to you to be as transparent and communicative as we can be regarding Idea Exchange submission processes and status. While we can make no promises, we can help you be heard.
See the list of possible idea status and their descriptions, below.
Be sure to start with a clear problem statement. Rather than jumping to a solution, tell us what's causing you pain and why you need this idea to be implemented in the product. Including use cases, business impact, and workaround(s) used can strengthen your idea.
Choose at least one from the predefined list of product labels to help categorize the idea. See that list of predefined labels and their descriptions, below.
You can write in a freeform tag to call out keyword(s) that could help clarify your idea and help others find it. It's preferable to avoid duplicating the product label here, since it won't help and may actually blur the readability of your idea.
NOTE |Ideas aren't ready for voting until their information is complete. When a submitted idea is missing any required information, we'll reach out to complete it.
Open For Comment
This is the default status for all Ideas. As long as the idea is complete, it will remain in this status. The more detailed your idea is, the greater chance it has of picking up more votes.
Incomplete: Need More Info
Additional information is required to determine the customer impact of this submission. This idea cannot be further evaluated without more information. Help out where you can to unstick this idea!
We're Working On It
This idea submission is now in the product backlog. The product management team is in active conversation to work on this idea with the community.
Please continue to vote, and provide comments or feedback to further bolster or otherwise help the process along. Watch for AppDynamics product team comments as applicable.
Not Planned Yet
This idea may have been reviewed and deemed as “not planned yet” for various reasons including: it does not fit with the current product roadmap, low demand, lack of strategic fit, lack of tech feasibility, too heavy of a lift, etc. Please continue to actively vote on and give feedback on this idea submission. And please provide more use cases that could bolster it back into contention.
Now Available
Success! This idea has come to fruition and is now available in the AppDynamics product.

Hi. I was trying to post an Idea, but I don't see a button to create a new idea. It appears that the Idea Exchange is relatively new, so maybe I don't have the necessary access? (For example, I don't see "New! Idea Exchange" in the header of the Community page ... I was given a direct link to the Idea Exchange in a Support Ticket). Thoughts? Thanks.
Hi @Jim.Ritchey ,
You should have access now! You should have been set up last week, something must have happened. Can you check again, please?
That fixed it. The Community Page now has a tab/link at the top for the new Idea Exchange, and the "Suggest an Idea" button is now visible. Thanks.
I created an idea but I didn't see how to add the two product labels. I made them tags - but that doesn't seem like what you were suggesting we do.
P.S. The website could use some performance improvements.
Thanks.
Hi @Tori.Walsh,
When on the create idea page, you would have seen this screen (image below), here you just click on one of the blue words/phrases to add those in.
Can you provide a bit more details on the performance aspect? Was it a particular page or the community as a whole?
Hello everyone,
When creating an Idea Exchange post, it's okay to reference a Support ticket, but we ask that you just leave the ticket number and not the full URL or a hyperlink.
As an example: ^ Zendesk ticket #12345
Thanks,
Ryan, AppD Community Manager

I checked and you should have access to the Idea Exchange. Our navigation has changed and I have updated this TKB to reflect that change. The ability to create content is only available once signed in.
Please click on the Idea Exchange location in the nav, and on the right side, a little bit down is the option to create a new idea.
Please let me know if you still have issues!
Hello, Community — Just a heads-up that I've fixed the broken TOC links on this article, so they should work as expected now.
Hello, Community - Need input on - I want to add drop down in Analytics search is it possible ? if then how we can do that , Please suggest.
Hello, @Pradeep.Kumar sharma
Welcome to Community! I recommend that you go to the Idea Exchange here. Please note that you will need to be signed in to access that space.
Once there, you would conduct a search on the feature you are interested in. If it already exists in the Idea Exchange, you can comment on your use case and upvote it. If it doesn't yet exist, you'll want to create a post.
I recommend that you return here for tips on what to include on your own Idea post.
Thank you! Your submission has been received!
