How it works

Step by Step in the Sample City

1

Schedule the meeting

Pick the board, date, time, and location from the Meetings list. Start from a template so your standing order of business is already in place.

Schedule the meeting — City of Riverbend example
2

Build the outline

The Riverbend Regular Meeting has seven sections and eleven items. Add sections and items, drag them into order, and numbering follows automatically.

3

Fill in each item

Set the item type, presenters, a formatted description, and internal notes that only the board sees. Attach staff reports as public or board-only.

4

Reuse your standard agenda

Agenda Templates keep your usual sections and items, so the next regular meeting takes minutes to set up.

Structured, numbered agendas

Sections and items number themselves. Drag to reorder and everything renumbers instantly.

Item types that drive the meeting

Mark items as Information, Discussion, Action - Vote, or Action - Consent. Vote items get motion and roll-call tools automatically.

Attachments with visibility

Attach staff reports and drafts to each item. Each file is public or board-only, and changes are confirmed and logged.

Templates for recurring meetings

Start every regular meeting from your standard agenda template instead of retyping it.

Common Questions

Can some attachments stay private?
Yes. Each attachment is Public or Board Only. Changing it asks for confirmation and is recorded in the audit log.
Do I have to renumber items when I move them?
No. Drag a section or item and the numbers and letters update everywhere, including printouts.
Can I paste from Word?
Yes. Pasted text is cleaned to simple bold, italic, underline, and bullets so it looks consistent.
