Improvements:

• Meeting Site:

• Documents:

  • The Document Manager Module now supports four new closed session content controls that automatically extract a document’s closed title and closed description fields into the closed session:

    • Closed Session Title (EN) - eScribe-Closed-Session-Title
    • Closed Session Title (FR) - eScribe-Closed-Session-Title-FR
    • Closed Session Description (EN) - eScribe-Closed-Session-Description
    • Closed Session Description (FR) - eScribe-Closed-Session-Description-FR

    Draft and approved documents can be added to both open and closed sessions, with flexible placement options. Draft agenda items can appear in either session, display new closed session information, and automatically convert to regular agenda item once approved. Closed draft agenda items are fully represented in closed session packages.

    Reordering and synchronization of draft items are supported across views, and the system prevents assigning child items to draft agenda items (Jan 21)
