Setting system options

You can set various global system options that affect all MeetingBooster users in your organization.

Setting general options

Click Settings and select Admin.

Click Options under System in the menu or System Settings in the main window.

Edit the following system options as needed, and click Save.

Deactivating the Conflict Resolver

Deselect the Check Conflicts check box if the Conflict Resolver should not be available to anyone when scheduling meetings. For more information, see "Inviting attendees".

Setting meeting timeout

Under Meeting Execution, select how long a meeting must be inactive (as described in "Attending a meeting") before it is paused.

A built-in timer keeps track of inactivity. It is started when the meeting starts and reset when any attendee does something that counts as being active. If the inactivity timer reaches the value selected here, the meeting and all timers keeping track of topic and meeting time are paused, and the inactivity timer stops.

When the meeting resumes (because one or more attendees become active again), the inactivity timer is reset and restarted. The value accumulated by the inactivity timer until the meeting was paused is added to the timers keeping track of topic and meeting time.

For example, if you have set meetings to pause after 20 minutes of inactivity, and a meeting is then inactive for hours or even days, only 20 minutes are added to the timers keeping track of topic and meeting time when the meeting finally resumes.

The meeting timeout feature only works if the organizer or co-organizer has assigned start and end times to agenda topics.

Selecting meeting settings

Select a default page size for agendas and minutes.

The organizer, co-organizer, host or note taker of a meeting can choose a different page size when preparing the agenda or sending the minutes.

Select a default style for agendas and minutes, and select whether this style should be enforced for all agendas and minutes.

You can also upload a custom document style. For more information about this, contact MatchWare directly.

Select how long after a meeting ended the minutes should still be editable.

Select whether agendas and minutes that have not been approved can be sent out.

Select whether meetings can be started even though the agenda has not been approved yet.

Setting the currency symbol

Enter the desired currency symbol in the Symbol field.

Select whether the symbol should be placed before or after the amount on the Placement drop-down.

Setting the date and time format

Select the desired date and time format on the Time Format, Date Format and Timezone drop-down lists.

Setting the default interface language

Select the desired default interface language for new users on the drop-down list.

When a user logs into MeetingBooster for the first time, the interface is displayed using the default language set here. If the user changes the default language for his or her MeetingBooster profile as described in "Setting up your preferences" in the Attendee Guide, that setting overrides your default setting. Even if you later change the default interface language, that user's language setting is not changed.

Setting logging options

Select how long the log should be kept, and select a logging level.

Setting up reminder emails

You can set up reminder emails so that users are notified of tasks due shortly or overdue, upcoming meetings and meetings where users must carry out actions such as providing feedback.

Click Settings and select Admin.

Click Email Reminders under System in the menu.

For tasks and meetings, select which type(s) of reminders you would like to send, and how often they should be sent (if applicable)

Select a weekday and a time for sending out reminder emails.

Some of these reminders are consolidated so that your users receive as few reminder emails as possible per day; other reminders are sent individually.

You can customize the layout and content of all emails sent from the system as described under "Customizing emails".
