## Required Information

### Feature Title

A concise, descriptive title for your request.

**Best practices:**

* Keep it under 100 characters
* Be specific and clear
* Start with action verb when possible

**Examples:**

* ✓ Good: "Add dark mode toggle to settings"
* ✓ Good: "Export data as CSV format"
* ✗ Poor: "Make it better"
* ✗ Poor: "Need a feature"

### Description

Detailed explanation of your feature request.

**Include:**

* What you want to accomplish
* Why this feature is needed
* How it would help users
* Any specific requirements

**Example:**

```
**What:**
Add ability to export all feature requests as a CSV file.

**Why:**
As a product manager, I need to analyze feature requests
in Excel for reporting purposes.

**How it helps:**
Saves time manually copying data, enables better analysis,
and facilitates stakeholder reporting.

**Requirements:**
- Include all fields (title, description, status, votes)
- Filter by date range
- Include comments count
```

## File Attachments

Upload supporting files to clarify your request:

**Supported formats:**

* Images: JPG, PNG, JPEG
* Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX
* Maximum: 5 files
* File size: 5 MB per file

## Best Practices

### Be Specific

Vague requests are hard to implement:

* ✗ "Make it faster"
* ✓ "Reduce page load time on dashboard"

### Explain the Why

Help admins understand the value:

* ✗ "Add this button"
* ✓ "Add quick access button to save time navigating deep menus"

### One Feature Per Request

Don't bundle multiple ideas:

* ✗ "Add dark mode, export CSV, and mobile app"
* ✓ Submit each as separate request

### Include Context

Provide relevant background:

* Your use case
* Current workflow
* Desired improvement

### Be Respectful

Remember:

* This is a request, not a demand
* Development takes time
* Priorities may differ from yours
* Feedback is appreciated, demands aren't

### Attachment Upload Fails

**Causes:**

* File too large (> 5 MB)
* Unsupported file type
* Server upload limit

**Solutions:**

* Compress images
* Use supported formats
* Split into smaller files
