SDL XPP 2017 Wish List Update!

Jennifer Goodman — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 18:24:00 GMT

We have completed our review and initial assessment of the information we collected at the 2017 XyUser Group Conference XPP Wish List session. Thank you to all who participated in another lively session! Each item has been assigned a disposition that maps to the dispositions we will be using to track product requests in the SDL XPP Ideas community page. I've attached a PDF that contains our updated assessment, grouped into sections by disposition.

For the items in the Under Community Review category, I'm requesting that the original submitter promote their idea in the XPP Idea community to solicit additional community input, feedback, and to allow other XPP customers to vote for their idea. This will help us determine the relative importance and priority it holds within the broader XPP community. We will actively engage with you on those items and any other requests here: SDL XPP Ideas
