July 2020

New Features

Actions Page

Previously actions had to be connected to a meeting and created using a meeting.

Using the "Actions" page user's can now create actions just by clicking the 'Create an Action' button.

Users with the Admin role can manage other users actions. User's with other actions can only manage actions assigned to themselves.

This button can be used to create actions that can be:

a. Stand alone (not connected to a meeting specifically)

b. Attached to main agenda items of any of the last ten meetings

Updates

  • If a meeting type name is updated the corresponding folder in Meetings Archive in Documents is now updated.
  • When a you search the actions page, on refresh it reloads the current search so you don't need to re-type your search.
  • Meeting creator can choose if Comments for a meeting should still send to a user if they have RSVP'd an apology.

Bug Fixes

  • If an agenda item had a time assigned to it (duration) and then a sub item was edited and saved then the duration on the agenda item was over-written.

Security Fixes

  • Action log was accessible to any user listed under "members" if they had the direct link.
