Overview

This article will show you how to add a Motion during a meeting.

Important Note

There is a relationship in CivicClerk 8 between Motions and Votes. A motion doesn't require a vote and can be left blank if, for example, a motion is not seconded and therefore doesn't make it to a vote. However, entering a motion is required before a vote can occur.

3. Select Go to Minutes

   • Initiated: Indicate who initiated the motion
   • Second: Indicate who seconded the motion
9. If Auto-Save is on, the motion will save automatically, if not, select a Save option
