Objective

To create a meeting using the project's Meetings tool. 

Background

You can use the Meetings tool to create detailed agendas for your project meetings. The first step in the process is to create the meeting. This process lets you set the date, time, location and also to invite the attendees. This process is described in the Steps below. Once the meeting is created, you can move on to create categories (see Create a Meeting Category), which are used to group agenda items into subjects. Then, you can add the individual agenda items (see Add a Meeting Item) to your categories. 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • To create a meeting:
      • 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Meetings tool,
        OR
      • 'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the project's Meetings tool with the 'Create Meeting' granular permission enabled on your permissions template.
    • To be added to the 'Scheduled Attendees' list on a meeting ​​​​​​​the person must have a profile in the Project Directory.
      ​​​​​​​Note: If you are managing user permissions with a permission template, users must be granted 'Read Only' permission or higher on the Meetings tool. See Manage Project Permissions Templates.
    • To view a meeting you have been invited to, 'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the Meetings tool.  
  • Additional Information:
    • The meeting must be in agenda mode. This is the default setting when you create a new meeting. To learn how to convert a meeting to minutes mode, see Convert a Meeting to Minutes Mode.
