I. Introduction to Follow Up Meeting

A Follow Up Meeting is a meeting (or meeting series) which can automatically share an agenda and title with another, earlier meeting.

Follow Up Meeting pages display the following details from the original meeting:

  • A link to the meeting page

  • Title

  • Date

  • Time

  • Minutes PDF (if previous meeting's Minutes are published)

  • Tasks created from the previous meeting page

    • If no tasks were created from the previous meeting page, this button appears only if Minutes are published

  • Number of tasks created from the previous meeting page

  • Number of tasks attached

This can be useful in cases where all planned discussion points are not reviewed during the original meeting.
