Redesigned Meeting Page

May 17, 2010 in New Features

We’ve made some significant changes to simplify the meeting page. We haven’t removed any functionality, but we have reorganized things and adding some new features. Below is a list of the biggest changes.


Sending Your Agenda

We’ve added a new way to send your agenda that doesn’t require your attendees’ email addresses. We now give you a simple text version of your agenda for you to copy:

Copy and Paste Your Agenda

Once you’ve copied the agenda, you can paste it into an email, meeting invite, or instant messenger to share it with attendees.

If you prefer the previous method where you entered your attendees’ email addresses, we’ve still kept that functionality. Click this link at the bottom of the “Send Agenda” page and you can send your agenda out as usual:

Enter Attendee Emails Link

Sending Your Minutes

We’ve made a similar update to sending your minutes. Rather than entering your attendees’ email addresses, you can save a PDF of your minutes:

Save Minutes to PDF

Then you can just send this PDF to your attendees.

If you prefer the previous method, click this link at the bottom of the “Send Minutes” page and you can send your minutes out as usual:

Enter Attendee Emails Link

Spell Check, Save, Print

The spell check, save, and print links have moved to the right side of the page:

Spell Check, Save, Etc. Icons

From left to right, these buttons are: spell check, save to PDF, print, and go to last meeting.

Attendee Names

The attendee names have moved to the body of the page. Click the “Add Attendees” button at the bottom of the meeting to add attendee names:

Add Attendee Names Button

Redesigned In-Meeting Tool

Apr 28, 2010 in New Features

We’ve completely redesigned the in-meeting tool so it’s easier to write minutes during your meeting.


How does this help?

The in-meeting tool is like a slideshow of your agenda, and it should be using during your meeting. It shows you one topic at a time, and helps you add minutes, action items, and parking lot items that come up during that topic.

The entire tool fits on your computer screen, which means there’s no need to scroll around while you add meeting minutes. Any minutes that you add with the in-meeting tool are saved to your meeting page.


How does this work?

Click the “Use the in-meeting tool” link on the right side of your meeting:

In-Meeting Tool Link

This opens up the in-meeting tool. On the left side of the tool is your first agenda topic, with a place to add minutes, action items, and parking lot items:

Your First Agenda Topic

On the right side is a list of all your agenda topics:

Your List of Agenda Topics

Once you’re done discussing the first topic, click the “Go To Next Topic” button. You can also click on any of the topics to skip ahead in the agenda.

We’ve kept the topic timer in this new design, so you can keep track of how much time you’re spending on each topic. On the right side of the page, underneath your current topic, is a “Start Timer” link:

Start Topic Timer

The timer shows up right next to your topic’s time estimate, so you can gauge when it’s time to move on.

When you’re meeting is over, click the “Go back to your meeting page” link at the top and you can review all the minutes you added:

Finish In-Meeting Tool Link

New Feature: Choose Your Date Format

Apr 22, 2010 in New Features

You can now choose how you’d like dates to be formatted in MeetingMix. Dates can be formatted as Month/Day/Year (like 4/22/2010 for April 22) or Day/Month/Year (like 22/4/2010 for April 22).

This lets you enter any date, like a meeting date or an action item due date, in the format you prefer.

How does this work?

Visit your Account Settings by clicking the “Account” link at the top right of your page, and then clicking “Account Settings”:

Account Settings Link

Then click the “Date format” link on the right side of the page:

List of Settings Options

You can then choose your preferred date format:

Choose Date Format Form

New Feature: Copy an Agenda to a New Meeting

Apr 20, 2010 in New Features

We’ve added a new feature that lets you copy a past meeting’s agenda to a new meeting.


How does this help?

If you run one-time meetings with similar agendas, you can use this feature to copy an old agenda over to a new meeting, without having to retype every topic.

This feature is primarily for one-time meetings. If you have a recurring series, we automatically create new meetings and help you import topics from past meetings in the series.


How does this work?

Go to your “All Meetings” page and find the past meeting that you want to copy. Click the “Show Agenda” link for that meeting:

Link to Copy Your Agenda

Click the “Copy agenda to new meeting” link underneath the agenda. This will prompt you to create a new meeting:

Create a New Meeting from an Old Agenda

Enter your new meeting’s name and date, and then we’ll automatically copy your past agenda to this meeting.
