Tip from your support 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 meeting management tips, join our Ambassador Program inside the App.


4. Library

The «corporate library» includes company related documents such as status, org charts, annual reports etc. 

   
  • Corporate library: 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.

                                                     

    

         
  1. Click on the comments icon 
  2. Click on the blue plus to add a new comment
  3. Write your comment and mention colleagues by using the @-Symbol. Mentioned colleagues will get a notification about the comment via e-mail.
  4. Edit or delete your comment anytime, or add a comment. Please note, that only the Editors of a meeting can resolve comments.
      
At the top right, you have the book icon that gives you an overview of all personal annotations within the document. 


Warning 

Public comments are always visible for everyone that is a participant of the meeting and has access to the agenda item/document.


7. Secure Two-Factor Authentication
