Standing Items are items that will always appear on the agendas of specific meeting types. Standing items behave almost identically to regular items, except they are defined at the Meeting Template and are automatically created whenever a meeting of that template type is created. This article will show you how to add a standing item to a Meeting Template.
Important Notes
By default, standing items do not automatically start a workflow for a given meeting type, though a workflow can be started for a standing item on its Item Detail Screen.
Attachments included with standing items can be used with the same packet inclusion options as any regular item's attachments.
Standing items can be unassigned from a meeting and either remain unassigned, be reassigned to that meeting, or be reassigned to a different meeting.
Standing items can be viewed from the Item List, just like regular items.
