Agenda Collaboration is purpose-built for boards that need multiple stakeholders to be part of the agenda-planning process — and for administrators who build the agendas within OnBoard and want to ensure everything is done to satisfaction in an efficient, collaborative way.

Let’s examine some of the specific capabilities Agenda Collaboration offers:

• Administrators and agenda viewers can comment on agenda items, resolve those comments, reply to comments, and delete a singular comment or an entire thread.
• The comment panel will appear when you click “Show Comments” at the top of the agenda, next to “edit agenda.”
• Administrators can add or manage reviewers and their permissions, and these can be changed at any time:
• They can make any “reader” a “reviewer” so they can see the stage of editing the agenda.
• Reviewers will be able to see all states of the agenda before publication.
• They can also exclude reviewers from seeing certain agenda sections and the comments in that section, in the case of a conflict of interest a certain board member might have, or other privacy concerns.
• In the “comment” panel, click the “all” tab to show all comments, the “resolved” tab to show the resolved ones, and “open” to show the open comments.
• Each agenda section will have a number. That number represents the amount of open comments that pertain to that section.
• Click the number to jump to and/or open the associated comments.
• That number will update in real time as new comments are added.
• When you resolve a comment, it will move from the “open” tab to the “resolved” tab. Users can also reopen a comment thread by going into the “resolved” tab and clicking “reopen” on a comment.
• Everything is done in real time: Adding, deleting, resolving, replying, and editing is all shown in real time as soon as any user performs those actions.
