Meeting Minutes Item ID Numbering

Why is it Useful?

CMiC recognizes that when you set up a meeting, you want to be able to easily create item masks that allow you to facilitate the industry best practices for meeting item numbering. This helps you keep track of each agenda item and the length of time each problem remains unsolved. Although this functionality for meeting item numbering already exists within the software's capability, we have added some helpful screen tips to help guide you through the steps for creating your meeting and item ID mask.

NOTE: This feature was released in Patch 13-1 under Issue (19.70980).

How Does it Work?

The best practice for generating the Meeting and item IDs occurs automatically once the user types in the desired Meeting Code, as shown in the screenshot above.

We have added the following instructions in the space next to the Meeting Minute Mask ID and Item ID Mask:

*Tip: To follow industry best practice for Meeting Item numbering we recommend using the following steps when creating your Meeting and Item ID Mask:

  3. Resulting Item ID Mask nnnnn-***

Also added special text at the bottom of track creation screen.
