# How suggestions work

_Skileo Human Resources › Suggestions · Who can do this: Business owner, Member, Employee_

Suggestions is your company's idea box. Everyone in the workspace, employees included, can post an idea, vote for or against it and comment on it. The best ideas rise with their votes.

## What a suggestion is

A suggestion is an idea that someone in your company shares with everyone: a new idea, an improvement, a problem to fix. The others vote for or against it and comment on it.

The “Business owner”, the members and the employees all see the same suggestions. The author can post without their name. See [Make a suggestion](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/make-a-suggestion).

Open “Suggestions” in the menu of “Human Resources”. Employees find “Suggestions” in their own menu.

## What you see in the list

Each line shows:

- the score: the votes for, less the votes against. Click the arrows next to it to vote. See [Vote and comment on a suggestion](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/vote-and-comment-on-a-suggestion).
- “Title”, with the type under it: click the title to open the suggestion.
- “Type”.
- “Created” and “Updated”.

Use the column button to show or hide columns.

## Order the list

The newest suggestions come first. Click “Order by” next to the search to change the order: newest or oldest, best or worst score, latest or oldest activity.

## Find a suggestion

- Click “Search” and type part of the title.
- Click “Show filters” to show only one “Type”, or to filter by “Activity”: your own suggestions, the ones you voted on, or the ones you haven't voted on yet.

## What you can do from a line

Click the actions button (**⋮**) at the end of a line:

- “Edit”.
- “View”: open the suggestion, its comments and its attachments.
- “Copy”: start a new suggestion from this one.
- “Delete”.

See [Edit, copy or delete a suggestion](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/edit-copy-or-delete-a-suggestion). To copy or delete several suggestions, tick their lines, then use the bar that appears above the list.


## Common questions

### How do I post an idea?

Click “Add new”. See [Make a suggestion](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/make-a-suggestion).

### Who is told about a new suggestion?

The “Business owner” and the members who can change suggestions get an e-mail, except the author.

### Why don't I see the arrows or the Add new button?

You need permission to change suggestions. See [Who can see suggestions](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/who-can-see-suggestions).
