Please Note: It is always recommended to Copy a Meeting Type, as the existing meeting types already have all of the meeting type settings configured, for example, the look and feel of the Agenda and Minutes packages. Creating a new meeting type is a blank slate which must be configured.

To create a new meeting type, select the Addition button. In the select Meeting Type dropdown, select Add a Meeting Type.

Complete the form shown below to add the new meeting type. At this stage, only the name is required, however other elements of the meeting profile can also be completed.

Note: Meetings with longer names will result in a longer URL (https://) for the meeting site, to avoid potential issues in the future, provide a shortened meeting name, or acronym in the Display Code field. The text in the Display Code will replace the Meeting Type name in the URL only for meeting sites.

Each of the 5 sections shown below can be expanded by clicking the Arrow sign next to each section – as shown below.

Each section is divided into collapsible sub-sections that can be accessed by clicking on the sub-section’s title. To assist with easy reference for yourself at a later date, indicate that a sub-section is complete by clicking Is this section completed at the end of each sub-section.
