Important Note:

  • It is important to remember that when adding Agenda Items, the different permission levels (Authors, Publishers, and Owners) will see different controls. For example, Authors will see the Add Item but not the Add Agenda button. Add Agenda is only visible at the Publisher level and above. Save and Submit buttons will appear based on the workflow that is selected for that item.

  • Authors adding items will have the ability to Save and Submit items without approval. No notifications will be sent unless a workflow is selected.

  • Items cannot be added to PDF Agendas
