Tip: Agenda Builder
Did you know you can remove sections from your board book? When editing the agenda section, simply click “remove section numbering and omit from board book” to remove the numbering for that section. This can be useful for headers or breaks.
Tip: Tasks
Do you find yourself having to follow up with your board members multiple times for the same to-do? Let OnBoard do the work for you! Using OnBoard Tasks, you can email your assignee(s) on the due date and every day following until it is marked as complete.
Tip: Notes and Annotations
When working in OnBoard with PDFs and images, use the “pencil tip” tool as a highlighter by dropping opacity and increasing thickness.
