The ‘Voting preparation’ feature enables a secretary or clerk to prepare and add one or more voting rounds to a meeting. Voting rounds can be prepared immediately and/or updated at a later date. A voting round can be easily recalled or deleted from a meeting if it is no longer required. During the preparation of a voting round the secretary or clerk can configure parameters such as:
•Voting reference number.
•Voting subject.
•Description of voting round.
•Sequence of voting rounds (i.e. the order in which voting rounds will be used during a meeting).

•URL (link) for accessing documents stored on the customers’ content management system or DICENTIS Multimedia Server.
•Voting answer sets that can be changed to suit the country or region. Various answer sets can be selected for example ‘Yes’ ‘No’ or ‘For’ ‘Against’ ‘Abstain’ ‘DNPV’.
•Voting timer options. A voting timer can be configured to limit the time allocated for voting. The voting can automatically be ‘put on hold’ ‘closed’ or ‘kept open’ when the allocated time has expired.
