Manage Divider Page
Often in the building of an agenda, there are sections that do not have any content. For example, it is common for an agenda to begin with a Welcome item, which often has no supporting document.
There are two ways to deal with empty sections In BoardCloud:
- Ignore empty agenda sections and don't add them to the board packet
- Add a 'blank' page into the agenda to represent empty agenda sections
Going with option 2 above requires a template to use as a 'divider page'. The divider page can be any A4, Letter or Legal sized one-pager. It is possible to use the same design for both your divider page and cover page.
At the moment, BoardCloud allows for a single divider page that is applied system wide. This is in contrast to cover pages, which can be specified per committee or even at a meeting level.
Divider Page Manager
The Divider Page Manager allows for the uploading of a divider page design.
Divider page designs can be uploaded as:
- Most image formats, including .png, .jpg
- As a PDF document
The image below shows how your divider manager should look:
Divider Paper Size
The page size setting is on the left. Page size can be either Letter, Legal or A4.
NB: Make sure that your divider page size matches your cover page size.
Uploading your Divider Page
As can be seen from the above image, the divider page is uploaded either as an image file or as a PDF.
Quality Control
It is important to check the packet layout once a divider or cover page has been added to the system. Read more about checks for board packet quality.
