New ArcGIS Ideas Notifications
Check out the latest addition to ArcGIS Ideas: a new notification feature that automatically updates you when the status of an Idea you’ve posted has changed. Now you can get an email that lets you know when an Idea you’ve posted is being implemented! We’ll also send out a notification any time we change the status of an Idea to “Under Consideration”.
The notification process will send out an email to the address associated with your Esri Global Account. You can change this email address by clicking on the “Edit Esri Global Account” link after logging into the Support site.
With automatic notification, it’s even easier to keep track of your Ideas. Keep those Ideas coming!
