After you’ve created your default display settings, all of your body types will automatically use them as a template. If you want to create vote and attendance settings that are specific to an individual body type, complete all of the above steps after selecting that body from the left navigation.

For example, if you want to configure your City Council differently from the default display settings, complete the following steps:

  1. From the left menu, click Primary Legislative Body under Vote and Attendance Settings. The system prompts you to load the default vote and attendance settings for this body, since none exist.
  2. Click Yes for both prompts.
  3. Edit the settings on the Vote Format tab, then click Save.
  4. Edit the settings on the Attendance Format tab, then click Save.

The following figure illustrates a portion of the Vote Format screen for the Primary Legislative Body:
