On the General Info page, we can create and edit the basic information about a meeting. In the meeting manager, there are many tips you can learn by hovering the mouse over images and titles. With the Meeting Manager, your meetings don't have to be safety related. SMS meetings by default, populate your agenda with all open issues in your division. Here, you configure the What, Why, Where and When factors of your meeting. To create a meeting: - Select a Division from the dropdown list below the "Start Here" prompt;
- Enter a short name for the meeting, such as "April Safety meeting";
- What is the purpose of your meeting? Generate awareness, communicate safety policies?
- What is the desired outcome of the meeting? This should be a measurable goal, such as review all open issues with a high severity rating;
- Where will the meeting be held?
- What is the proposed date/time of the meeting?
If you don't want the application to generate an initial agenda for you, check the box "Check if not SMS Meeting." This will provide you the power to enter your own agenda items. Regardless, you always have the ability to add/edit/delete agenda items in the "Agenda" step. To edit the general information about a meeting, select the folder icon in the respective meeting in the grid titled: "My Meetings." If a meeting is already loaded and you wish to create a new meeting, select the trash can at the bottom left of the General Information page. This will delete/clear all the fields in the checkboxes. The current meeting will no longer be active in any of the tabs. In the "My Meetings" grid, there are special icons related to each meeting telling you whether the meeting: - has already started or finished;
- will start within one day; or
- is more than one day in the future;
These visual cues allow you to distinguish meetings at a glance without studying dates. |
