Add & Manage Recommended Actions

Prev Next

One of the optional fields available for use at the Item level is Recommended Actions. This field is rendered as a checkbox-style listing that allows the user to select multiple options, and these selected options can be displayed on a related template, such as an Item Report. The list of Recommended Actions is customizable per Meeting Type.

Important Notes

  • To manage these settings, a user must have the Has Access to Meetings Site Settings permission in their User Profile.

  • A Recommended Action alone has little functionality. Assign the Recommended Action to a Meeting Type to display it in the related field on the Item Fields page of a specific item.
