01
Customisable idea template
Add fields to guide submissions, such as idea name, key features, rationale, or visual reference.
Ideas board
Generate, share, and refine ideas collaboratively, with participants building on and voting for each other's thinking.
Overview
The incling ideas board is designed for moments in research when you want participants not just to react, but to create. Using a customisable submission template, participants share ideas with descriptions, images, and supporting detail, which are then displayed on a shared pinboard for the group to view, vote on, and respond to. The result is a ranked, community-reviewed pool of ideas that reflects genuine collective thinking.
Features
Everything in the ideas board tool
All features are included at no additional cost. No limits on ideas, participants, or voting activity.
02
Voting
Set how many votes each participant can allocate and whether vote counts are visible before submission.
03
Public, private, or unbiased
Control when and whether participants can see each other's ideas.
04
Moderation
Respond to individual ideas to probe for more detail or encourage development.
05
Visibility control
Restrict visibility of votes until all participants have submitted their own.
Use cases
Ideal for
The ideas board works best when you want the community to generate direction rather than respond to a fixed question, or when group consensus is as valuable as individual input.
Early-stage NPD ideation
Open the ideas board with minimal constraints and invite participants to share product, service, or feature ideas. Voting surfaces the strongest concepts from the group and gives you a prioritised starting point for deeper development.
Co-creation and concept refinement
Provide participants with a clear brief and ask them to rework, build on, or challenge an existing idea. The shared pinboard means participants iterate on each other's thinking, often producing ideas that no individual would have reached alone.
Projective ideation
Ask participants to imagine they are part of the team working on a product or brand challenge. Removing participants from the role of consumer and asking them to think as collaborators often unlocks more creative and strategic perspectives.

Feature prioritisation
Share a list of potential product or service features and ask participants to build and rank their ideal version. Voting delivers quantitative priority data, while comments capture the reasoning behind each choice.
Policy and service consultation
In social research and public sector projects, the ideas board gives communities a structured space to contribute suggestions, surface shared priorities, and vote on proposed changes, all within a moderated, evidence-generating environment.
