3.1 First Steps   (top)

The meeting server is designed to easily maintain the information on meetings, their content in terms of agendas, minutes, travel details and presentations. Everybody of the collaboration can add to this pool of information. Either by allocating a new meeting or by just by uploading the files for her/his presentation.

There are several ways to enter the administration level of the meeting server. Either one uses the link ->Mtg.WebAdmin when using the meeting pages of the PANDA web (which brings you to the main BuildWeb administration page where you click on <Create/Change Meeting/Slides> .

After clicking on <Create/Change Meeting/Slides> you will be forwarded to the following page:

You may select (just select a meeting type and a date) or create (select a meeting type and press a meeting. You can also create a new type of meetings or the defaults for a type of meetings (this information is then automatically added to each meeting of that type).

To access a specific meeting one may use also the <EDIT> button on the web agenda of a particular meeting. In that case you are forwarded directly to the database record of this meeting.

Use the header of a meeting and click <EDIT> to go to the server page:

          

Fig. 3.2: Meeting entry in the PANDA web space. The title of the meeting (name, location and date) is followed by a list of buttons. You may choose a different display style (like long which includes the links and lists all submeetings, or short which just lists this meeting without links, or a printer version which shows all submeetings but also without links). You also may choose a subsequent or preceeding meeting of the same kind or you can edit the meetings agenda and/or upload information like slides and/or minutes.

The look of the meeting agenda in the long version is depicted in fig. 3.3, the look of the short and printer version are shown in fig. 3.4.

The presentation upload dialog is very simple, just select your local file to be uploaded and proceed with <Upload>. To avoid duplicate names, each file is preceeded with the date from the database and the initials of the speaker.
