New Feature: Add Agenda Subtopics

Nov 30, 2009 in New Features

We’ve revamped the agenda so you can add subtopics to any of your topics. This has been our most popular feature request, and we want to thank everyone for giving us great feedback while we designed this feature.


How does this help?

If you decide to use subtopics, you can think of a topic as a general category and add subtopics underneath it. This organizes your agenda by creating a clean hierarchy of information. For example, you can create a topic like “Marketing updates” and add your specific marketing subtopics underneath it.

Subtopics aren’t mandatory. If your meeting doesn’t need them, just create your agenda and add minutes as usual.


How does this work?

When you add a new agenda topic, click the “add subtopic” link to add a subtopic underneath it:

New Subtopic

When you click the Save button, your topics and subtopics will show up in the agenda immediately:

Agenda with Subtopics

If you want to add subtopics later, you can add them to an existing agenda topic by clicking the “Subtopic” link underneath it.

We’ve made some changes in other parts of the site to incorporate this new feature:
1. When you email your agenda to attendees, the email will include all subtopics
2. Your agenda printouts will show subtopics
3. You can import subtopics from a past meeting into your current agenda

New Home Page with Meeting Notifications

Nov 10, 2009 in New Features

MeetingMix emails you whenever you need to prepare the agenda or add minutes to a meeting. We’ve updated your account’s home page so you can see these same notifications whenever you log into MeetingMix.


How does this help?

The home page used to be one list of all your meetings, which made it difficult to understand which meetings you needed to worry about right now. With the new home page you can readily see which meetings are coming up, which upcoming meetings don’t have an agenda, and which past meetings don’t have minutes. This organization lets you know which meetings need your attention.


How does this work?

Just log in to your account to use this new design. The top of the page has a section with your upcoming meetings:

Upcoming Meetings

The sidebar has a list of your meeting notifications – these are upcoming meetings without an agenda and past meetings without minutes:

Meeting Notifications

New Feature: Customize Your Agenda and Minutes Emails

Nov 3, 2009 in New Features

MeetingMix helps you email the agenda and minutes to your attendees from your meeting page. We’ve just added a feature that lets you customize the text in these emails.


How does this help?

When you email the agenda to attendees you might want to include additional information or instructions, like asking attendees to review the agenda before 2pm tomorrow. You can add this message when customizing your email, so attendees get the agenda and this additional instruction in one place.


How does this work?

Click on either the “Send agenda” or “Send minutes” buttons in the sidebar:

Send Buttons

When you click either of these buttons you’ll be prompted to change the default text in the email. In this example, we’ll be asking attendees to review the agenda before 2pm tomorrow:

Custom Email Text

Once you finish, attendees will get an email with your custom text and the agenda itself:
