Actions are only available on a boardcycle CoSec subscription. If you do not have access to Actions, please contact us to upgrade.
Introduction
Because actions are dealt with in items of meetings, boardcycle has a special agenda item, called "Action Items", to help manage this.
The Action Items item explained
When you create a new meeting from scratch, boardcycle automatically adds a special item, called "Action Items" to your meeting as item 1. This item has all the same features as a normal item, but is also the default 'home' for any actions you specify as being due in that meeting.
Once you designate an action as being due at the meeting, it will appear below the Action Items item as shown below:
Worth knowing: boardcycle will automatically add an Action Items item
If your meeting does not have an Action Items item then once you designate an action as being due at that meeting, boardcycle will automatically add that item to your meeting as item 1.
You can do all the same things with the Action Items item that you can do with any other item in boardcycle - e.g move it around on your agenda, rename it, change it's timing, etc.
Worth knowing: Simply calling an item "Action Items" will not work
The Action Items item is a special item created automatically by boardcycle. While boardcycle will name that item "Action Items" by default, the actual name of the item doesn't matter.
Accordingly, simply calling an item "Action Items" will not cause it to become this special item - and may in fact lead to you having duplicate items with the same name in your meeting.
