Creating minutes after a meeting is a difficult and time-consuming task. Powow analytics steps in to collect all the important items, structure them in one document, and help you to deliver them to the team faster, and more comprehensively than ever.
This article will teach you how to manage Meeting Minutes.
Permissions
Only the Meeting Owner and Users with manage access can view, edit, and publish meeting minutes. Users with view access will be able to see Meeting minutes only after publishing. They can access it on the Dashboard, meeting preview, and in the diarization window by choosing the meeting minutes tab. Read the article on Meeting Permissions to learn more.
Find minutes on the meeting dashboard:
Meeting Minutes view
The screenshot below displays the view that you will see when entering the Minutes feature. The left side of the screen, which was the diarization window, will change to the minutes document preview which you can edit with the tools on the right. All the changes from the right-hand side edit window will be reflected in the Minutes document on the left in real-time.
To switch between the minutes preview tab and the diarization view tab, use the button in the upper-middle of the left window.
Reorder Meeting Minutes Sections
Move Meeting Minutes sections within the document to achieve the desired order for publishing. To access this tool, find the Manage Sections key in the upper-right corner of the right editing window. A new window will pop up showing the list of Key Items sections featured in the Minutes document.
- Hold a section using the drag handle
to move it up or down in the document
- Remove a section from the Minutes document by clicking the check-box
- Include it back by ticking it again
