Manage Default Items

  • Updated:

 

To assist in the creation of routine agenda content you can set up Default Items that will automatically populate on new agendas. Default Items are configured by Meeting Type to ensure that the right content appears based on the specific needs of the meeting. 

 

Important Notes 

  • To Manage these settings a user must have the Has Access to Meetings Site Settings permission in their User Profile. 
  • When a meeting is created the Agenda Creator will be listed as the Item Creator for all Default Items. 
  • Best Practice Recommendation: Custom Designs should only be used when the design of your Default Item will vary drastically from the available designs. Selecting a pre-existing Item Design will ensure that future updates to that design will apply to your Default Items. keeping your agenda content consistent in design.
