Improvements
- We have changed the Publish button on the Minutes page to be either Publish PDF or Publish HTML depending on what type of summary reports need to be published to public facing view pages. Customer sites will default to Publish PDF when this capability is deployed. If a customer wishes to publish HTML minutes summary report instead, speak to your Granicus account representative.
- Added a spinner on the Minutes Publish popover when the user clicks the 'Publish' button. This indicates that publishing (with automatic minutes summary report generation if enabled) is processing. The spinner and popover will remain open until the document generation and publishing processing is complete. The 'Publish' and 'Unpublish' buttons are disabled while the spinner is present.
- Changed the 'Publish' button on the Agenda page publish popover to be either 'Publish PDF' or 'Publish HTML' depending on what type of agenda report need to be published to public facing view pages. Sites will default to 'Publish PDF' when this capability is deployed. If you need to publish HTML agenda reports instead, contact your Granicus account representative. Note: Agenda packets will continue to be in PDF format. Also, a custom agenda PDF report can be uploaded and published as the report and part of the agenda packets as before. For customers who use hyperlinks to item coverpages as part of their HTML agenda report, the cover pages for the items will still be in PDF format.
- Added the capability to download an HTML version of the Agenda Report. (If you wish to have this capability, please contact your Granicus Account Representative). This is in addition to the existing PDF and DOCX formats. If the Agenda Report template is set up with hyperlinks for agenda items to their respective cover pages, those links will link to the PDF version in this initial release. Attachments will be linked to PDF versions of those documents as well. Note: There is no concept of page numbering for an HTML file, unlike a DOC or PDF formats of the Agenda Report.
Bug Fixes
- Occasionally, Agenda Coordinators were being denied access to Minutes.
- Users were recieving a permissions error when attempting to assign a motion to multiple agenda-sourced items in a section. In order to not receive this error you need to create a motion on one item first and save it. Then, the 'Apply to Multiple Items' button will become enabled. Click it and then on the resulting dialog box, verify the list of items in this same section you want to apply the motion (unchecking any items as needed), and select 'Apply Motion to Selected Items'.
- When using the 'Add Item' functionality to apply a motion to multiple items, users were having to refresh the page to view agenda and minutes-sourced items together.
