Create and Manage Agenda Script Snippets

Prev Next

Agenda Script Snippets are reusable blocks of text that help staff quickly add common notes and instructions to agenda scripts. They can be used to insert frequently used phrases, reminders, or other prewritten content without retyping the same text for each meeting.

Agenda script snippets can also include the [SCRIPT] merge tag, which inserts agenda script content. This merge tag only works within agenda scripts.

This article explains how to add, edit, reorder, and delete agenda script snippets.

For an overview of text snippets and how they work, see our Text Snippets Overview article.
