Toggle to disallow collection of sticky note authors in Lucidspark

Hi @Rickajr 

This is a great recommendation for future enhancements to the Lucid development team.

This feature would ensure privacy in group feedback and retrospectives.

Could intake your request for a toggle to disallow the collection of sticky note authors in Lucid.

In the meantime, you can use a other options like by creating a separate board for anonymous feedback, where authorship collection is turned off entirely.

This way, users cannot accidentally turn on authorship collection.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!

Warm regards
 

Kindly add this as an idea out here - Product feedback | Community (lucid.co)

Hi @Rickajr, thanks for sharing your feedback about sticky note authors, and @Humas1985 for responding here. I can certainly understand how a toggle to completely switch off the author names for a board can be helpful. 

As a workaround, I would recommend generating a Guest Collaborator link  for boards where you would like anonymous input from your team - as guests are randomly assigned an Internet Animal name (more info about this here). 

However, we’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. If you’re willing to share, we’d love to hear more details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience within this thread. I’ve also converted this post to an idea so that it’s visible to others within the Product Feedback section of the community - from here, they can upvote it and add details of their own.

Finally, for more information on how Lucid manages feedback via this community, take a look at this post:

We appreciate your willingness to provide your requests and feedback in the Lucid Community!

Thanks for the response Humas and Leianne - I posted on the other thread but I’ll repeat it here - if you send out a guest link to your own enterprise team it’s not a great workaround because everyone would have to log out of their accounts to make this work - and sso is going to try and log them back in as part of the enterprise. It might work well if you were trying to get anonymous responses from users outside your company.

Hi @Rickajr, I have also commented this on the other thread but adding here for transparency - I have shared this additional feedback with our development team. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other additional details you’d like to add to this idea. Thank you! 

@Humas1985 you say “In the meantime, you can use a other options like by creating a separate board for anonymous feedback, where authorship collection is turned off entirely.” How do you do this?

Hi, 

Is there an update on this? Has it been added to the roadmap? I think this is an important feature. Facilitators want the ability for people to provide feedback anonymously, this can’t be done if anyone can easily toggle this on or off. It doesn’t seem like that difficult to implement i.e. restrict to owner or collaborator of board. 

It was mentioned before, but guest link option doesn’t work as well. There are times that certain people will need to see the feedback and as brought up previously, depending on the license, the software automatically logs you in. 

Private mode also isn’t the best solution because it erases the text as well which for many facilitations, the text/idea is needed for the next steps/flow of the activities (e.g. lessons learned). I’ve upvoted and such just hoping to see this feature become available. 

Adding to my comment above, I had a facilitation where even when the author was toggled off i still saw the author for the post its, see screenshow below. 

​@rvassilatos thank you for this feedback and the example you provided. Although our team is not able to provide an update at this point, I certainly understand why this is an important feature. Detailed comments like yours, along with upvoting this post, are great ways of showing your support for this to be implemented.
