Meeting - Topics

The Meeting's Topics page contains the general topics for the meeting items. Adding topics to meeting items allows you to sort and filter by the topic name. Since each meeting type might have a specific set of topics it discusses, each meeting has its own list of topics.

Note that a topic name can only be changed as long as no meeting items are linked to it. To change the name, ensure that the topic name is removed from the meeting item, then rename the topic name.

The following fields contain information for the meeting topics. The Meeting document needs to be in edit mode before you can modify the fields.

• Topic Name: Type the topic name. This field is required.
• Topic Description: Type a description for the topic.
• Topic Details: Use this field to enter details related to the meeting topic.
• In Use: Indicates that the topic name is used in the meeting items.
• Order: This field can be used to define a user defined topic 'Order'. By using a numeric or alphabetic ordering sequence for the list of Meeting Topics you are creating.
  
  This order can be very useful if you want meeting topics to appear in a specific order or be easy to sort, in an external report or if the data was exported to a Custom Print Layout or Excel.
  
  An example of such an Ordering sequence could be as follows:
  
  

  Topic Name	Topic Description	Description In Use	Order
  1	Topic1	Yes	10
  2	Topic2	Yes	20
  3	Topic3	Yes	30
  4	Topic4	Yes	40
