Tip from your team
In the iPad App, you can filter the meetings by selecting a specific group. Do not hesitate to use this option, specially in case you have a lot of meetings. You can do this by opening the left menu and select the groups concerned. Instead, to remove the group, click the small cross appearing nearby the room name.
For more tips on managing meetings, join our Ambassador program within the app.
4. Library
The Library includes company related documents such as status, org charts, annual reports etc.
In the library, documents can be accessed by all members of the room on all devices. Only users with permissions "User + User Management + Access all Content, User + User Management, User + Group Management" can upload documents to the Library. Users can only access documents that have been shared with them.
- Filters: Use the filters for individual sorting of the documents.
- Labels: Use labels for filtering documents in the corporate library. The labels are created by the administration of each room.
5. Agenda
When opening a meeting for the first time, the meeting details are displayed. On the left hand side the agenda of the meeting is displayed including each agenda (sub-) item and documents. The agenda can be hidden with the agenda hide/view button in the lower left corner.
The agenda items are marked by numbers, while the agenda documents are marked by letters. You can open a document from the meeting agenda by tapping on it. The document appears next to the agenda.
6. Comments
When reading meeting materials to prepare important discussions, a meeting participant can use the comment function to discuss among participants before the meeting takes place. Thanks to this asynchronous process, individual preparation time is used more collaboratively and effectively and the meeting itself can focus on the relevant discussion points only.
When writing a comment, select if you want it to be public or private. By default all comments are public to foster collaboration and transparency. Use the @-sign to mention specific meeting participants in public comments. Doing this will let them know that they have been mentioned.
- Click on the comments icon
- Click on the blue plus to add a new comment
- Write your comment and mention colleagues by using the @-Symbol. Mentioned colleagues will get a notification about the comment via e-mail.
- Edit or delete your comment anytime, or add a comment. Please note, that only the Editors of a meeting can resolve comments.
Warning
Public comments are always visible for everyone that is a participant of the meeting and has access to the agenda item/document.
