Adding, editing and deleting minutes

Caution: Be sensitive to the content of any minutes you are publishing.  Read through them to be sure they don't contain things that people might not want on the web. Examples might include contact details, full names of children, or names of adults in some circumstances.

You can add minutes to any of your pages. Once added, a link to the latest minutes will appear in a box on the right hand side of the page. Older minutes will be available via a link called "Older Minutes" at the bottom of this box.

To add minutes

  1. Navigate to the page to which you wish to add minutes.
  2. In the box entitled Add content at the top right of the page, click on Add minutes. You will be taken to a page called Create Minutes.
  3. Fill in the Date (of the meeting). If the meeting lasts for more than one day, check the Show End Date box and fill in the end date.
  4. Under Minute file, upload a PDF of the minutes by clicking on Browse.... You may also click Upload at this point, but it is not necessary.
  5. Click on the Save button at the very bottom of the page.
  6. You will be taken to a page saying that the minutes have been created, and with details of the minutes. To go back to the page you added the minutes to, click on the link next to Related to.
  7. The Minutes should now appear on the right of your page in a large browser window, or below the main text on smaller devices.

If you have added more than one newsletter, there will be a link entitled Older minutes to a page which contains your older minutes, arranged in reverse (newest-to-oldest) order.
