  • 1.  While checking out the Sage Ideas website I notice

    While checking out the Sage Ideas website I noticed they ""Completed"" ideas that do not look like they will be in the product. An example of this is this one that is to bring the report master back. I do not think they are or have done this and it is set to completed. Makes it appear a if they have added 40 ideas to the product but I wonder how many are like this one and not added but just removed from being able to vote or comment on it. https://www11.v1ideas.com/SageERP/MAS90and200/Idea/Detail/2114

    Well how else are they going to bump up the ""completed"" list? You don't think they would actually complete ""real"" ideas, do you? Silly boy.

    I do not know the answer but was Sage planning to move to a different idea gathering site? I wonder if they've cleared these in preparation. ... just don't tell me it's moving to an off-shoot of Atlas..

    Maybe someone needs to call Sage out on these on the Linked In site. They should have a category for ""not going to complete"" instead of marking them ""complete"".

    It appears in this case they closed it to voting because they probably did not want to be bothered with it anymore.

    My impression is like @DawnAnastasi and @LouisAraiza - Sage has completed the phase in which they give a f***.

    Don't you think this is sort of a leftover Laurie Schultz initiative?

    I believe I called them out on it last year on an Idea post but then one (or more) of our gang(sters) went negative on the post (something like it will be a cold day in hell before anything gets done) so they blew away the entire Idea instead of the offending comments. Perhaps DB or MC remember. But then again, maybe there wasn't anything positive (in their mind about it). I even posted a Linkedin response to Lori Maloof about the 1,000's of ideas posted and that there were a minimum number of completions (most of them were Extended Solution plants). I told her this was a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate that Sage actually listened and if they weren't going to take action on the suggestions that people would just stop suggesting. This was met with a ""gee we are doing a lot of thing in v4.5"" response. IMHO, they have done themselves more harm than good by having this site. Their inaction clearly demonstrate they don't give a rat's behind about user input.

    I'm sure the site was created just to give support an out. A lot of time was spent writing up enhancement requests and now all they have to do is just tell you where to go.

    I'm sure Sage loves telling people where to go.
