Using the Product Board

The Go to What’s New button in the Help & Learn menu provides access to the MediaCentral Product Board. This online tool provides more information about the new features provided in each MediaCentral release, and gives you the opportunity to provide feedback directly to Avid.

The board’s Submit Idea button provides you with an opportunity to submit feature requests directly to the Product Design team at Avid. You can also rate your idea as something that might just be “Nice to Have” to something that you feel is critically important to your workflow.

To submit an idea to Avid:

  1. After clicking the Go to What’s New button in the Help & Learn menu, click the Submit Idea button in the upper-right corner of the Product Board.

    The Submit New Idea window is displayed.

  2. Enter your feature request in plain text in the body of the window (images not supported).

  3. Click the Nice to Have, Important, or Critical buttons to rate your idea.

  4. Enter your email address and click Submit.

    The Product Board sends you a confirmation message to confirm your identity.

  5. Check your email for the confirmation message and respond to submit your idea to Avid.
