Submitting an item to the Roadmap is straightforward. Here's how it works, step by step.
Step 1: Choose a type
When you click Submit New Item, you'll first be asked to choose the type of submission. Types are categories that describe what kind of item this is, for example a policy proposal, an operational change, a training request, or a technical improvement.
Each type may have its own set of fields and prompts to help you provide the right information. Pick the one that best fits what you're putting forward. If you're not sure, read the description shown for each type. It'll point you in the right direction.
Step 2: Fill in the details
Once you've picked a type, you'll see the submission form. Depending on the type, this might be a simple free-text description, or it might include structured fields asking specific questions (like "What problem does this solve?" or "Who would this affect?").
Either way, write clearly and give enough detail that someone unfamiliar with the idea can understand what you're proposing and why. You don't need to have every answer. That's what the later stages are for. But the more context you give up front, the smoother things will go.
Step 3: Submit
Once you're happy with what you've written, hit submit. Your item will land in the Received stage, where it'll be picked up and assessed. You'll be listed as the Originator, the person who brought this forward.
From here, you can follow along as it progresses through the stages. You'll be automatically subscribed to updates, and you can always come back to check on things, add comments, or respond to questions.
