Shape the future of Curam!

We invite you to shape the future of Curam, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the Curam team to refine your idea

Help Curam prioritize your ideas and requests

The Curam team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Three Field-Date Selection in IEG

During User Research a desire has been expressed to provide users with a "three-field date format"on a web form. The three-field date is expected to reduce cognitive load on users and increase accessibility for users with screen readers.

Customer Name ESDC, Canada
Persona Based Summary

As a UA user using a screen reader, I want to avoid complex date pickers that are difficult to navigate, so I can provide formatted dates to the organization without impendence.

Market Segment Health & Human Services
Type of Request Idea
Market Opportunity

Such an idea increases IEG's accessibility support / compliance.

Usage frequency + #/type of users impacted

Any user providing a date via IEG may benefit from this idea.

      Hi Mark,

      The theme is aligned with our current multi-year strategy for our product and so while we still await further clarification regarding part of this request, we will go ahead and accept your suggestion as a consideration for a future release. Not all items under consideration will make it into a release. As plans are confirmed, you will be notified when a specific release includes this enhancement.

      Based on the information provided, our understanding of your request is:

      • to provide users with a three field date format on an IEG form

      • to provide best practice guidelines in terms of how the fields should be populated (codetables or manually entered)

      • the order of the fields to be flexible to suit different needs

      Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas with us. We are committed to involving our users in building our product roadmap and appreciate your suggestions.

      Regards,

      Graham McCrindle, SPM Product Management Team

      Hi Mark,

      We have reviewed your enhancement suggestion and require more information to properly understand the business scenario you are trying to support.

      Based on the information provided, our understanding of your request is:

      • to provide users with a three field date format on an IEG form

      • to provide best practice guidelines in terms of how the fields should be populated (codetables or manually entered)

      • the order of the fields to be flexible to suit different needs

      Our question relates to the 3rd bullet above. Is the required 'flexibility' for the agency? So should the agency default be used regardless of the user's chosen locale?

      Please provide the requested information within 30 days so we may proceed with our evaluation. If we do not hear from you within that timeframe, we will have to close the request due to insufficient information.

      Thank you,

      Graham McCrindle, SPM Product Management Team
