I. Introduction

Attendance can be noted in a meeting's Minutes using the attendance Minutes entry.

Attendance in the Minutes and on the Meeting Page are synced. An invitee set as Present in the Minutes is also set as Present on the meeting page. An invitee set as Not Present in the Minutes is also set as Absent on the meeting page. Likewise, attendance statuses set on the meeting page are carried over to the Minutes attendance entry.

In the Edit Minutes view, this entry includes the following details:

  • The name and profile picture of each invitee, separated into two vertically spaced lists (users and guests)

  • A notes section beneath each invitee

  • A dropdown beside each invitee to note their attendance

    • Attendance statuses set on the meeting page auto-populate this field; a person who is set to present on the meeting page is automatically set to present in the Minutes

In the PDF view, this entry displays invitee names and custom notes, divided into six lists:

  • Present members, if any

    • All observers, members, and admins marked as Present in the Edit Minutes view

  • Absent members, if any

    • All observers, members, and admins marked as Not Present in the Edit Minutes view

  • Member notes, if any

    • Custom notes added to the attendance of observers, members, and admins

  • Present guests, if any

    • All guests marked as Present in the Edit Minutes view

  • Absent guests, if any

    • All guests marked as Not Present in the Edit Minutes view

  • Guest notes, if any

    • Custom notes added to the attendance of guests
