Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) include the accounts of Covisint Corporation, a Michigan corporation, and subsidiaries (“Covisint”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us”). The Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), for interim financial information and with the instructions of Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingencies and results of operations. While management has based its assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing at June 30, 2016, final amounts may differ from these estimates. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 (“2016 Annual Report”). There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, requiring all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. ASU 2016-09 will also allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee's shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, requiring a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 requires entities to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Full retrospective application is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires all deferred income taxes to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard prospectively as of March 31, 2016. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and a subsequent amendment to the standard in March 2016 with ASU 2016-08, a new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle is that revenue should be recognized as goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date by one year. In accordance with the delay, this ASU will now be effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of adopting this guidance.

These trademarks are deemed to have an indefinite life and therefore are not being amortized. (2) Amortization of capitalized software is included in “cost of revenue” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Historically, capitalized software has been amortized over five years . Beginning in fiscal year 2017, capitalized software is amortized over three years . Based on the current competitive environment and rapidly changing landscape for cloud based platform software, effective April 1, 2016, the Company changed its estimate of the useful life of capitalized software from five years to three years. This change in useful life has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate, and will be applied to all new capitalized software. Remaining carrying amounts of capitalized software intangible assets will be amortized prospectively over a maximum of three years, or the remaining useful lives if less than three years. The change in estimated useful life did not have an impact on the earnings per share disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . Amortization expense of intangible assets was $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Estimated future amortization expense, based on identified intangible assets at June 30, 2016 , is expected to be as follows (in thousands): At June 30, 2016 for the Year Ending March 31, 2017 2018 2019 2020 Capitalized software $3,608 $4,154 $2,800 $410

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE	S PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury method. EPS data were computed as follows (in thousands, except for per share data): Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Basic loss per share: Numerator: Net loss ($5,003 ) ($6,586 ) Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding 40,500 39,059 Basic loss per share ($0.12 ) ($0.17 ) Diluted loss per share: Numerator: Net loss ($5,003 ) ($6,586 ) Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding 40,500 39,059 Dilutive effect of stock awards — — Total shares 40,500 39,059 Diluted loss per share ($0.12 ) ($0.17 ) Stock awards to purchase approximately 3,299,000 and 4,641,000 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they were anti-dilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contractual Obligations The Company conducts its business in various leased facilities which, based on the lease terms, are considered to be operating leases. There have been no material changes in our commitments under the lease agreements or other contractual obligations, as disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report. Legal Matters The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, investigations and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Beginning on May 30, 2014, two putative class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against us, our directors and former directors, and certain of our officers and former officers alleging violation of securities laws in connection with our IPO and seeking unspecified damages. These lawsuits were consolidated in the action entitled Desrocher v. Covisint Corporation, et al., No. 14-cv-03878 (the “Securities Class Action”). On October 14, 2014, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated class action complaint (the “Complaint”) alleging violations of Regulation S-K and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. The Complaint alleges, among other things that the IPO’s registration statement contained (1) untrue statements and omissions of material facts related to the Company’s projected revenues for fiscal 2014, (2) materially inaccurate statements regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policy, and (3) omissions of known trends, uncertainties and significant risk factors as required to be disclosed by Regulation S-K. On May 5, 2016, the parties entered into a stipulation and agreement of settlement to dismiss all claims with prejudice and settle the Securities Class Action (the “Settlement”). The Settlement was reached after the Court denied defendants' motions to dismiss and granted class certification of a class of all persons who purchased the Company's stock in and/or traceable to the Company's IPO on or about September 26, 2013, seeking to pursue remedies under Section 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. The Settlement, which is subject to Court approval, provides for a payment by the defendants of $8.0 million . The Company's uninsured portion of the settlement amount is $0.4 million , which was recorded as a liability as of March 31, 2016 and paid in July 2016. The hearing on Court approval of the Settlement is currently scheduled for December 15, 2016.
