Issue Icons

- To access the Business Plan during a live Meeting, click the Tools located under the left side of the meeting agenda and navigate to the Short-Term Focus page. The Issues List will be on the bottom right-hand side of the Business Plan.
- To move an issue back to the meeting you just need to hover your mouse over the right side of the issue, then click the "issues" button.
- If you want to permanently delete an issue, click the trash can icon to the right of the issue.
- Important: Issues deleted from the Short-Term Focus page of the Business Plan are nonrecoverable.
Options for Resolving an Issue
During a meeting
- Click the blank checkbox to the left of the Issue that has been resolved. This will archive the issue. (Ctrl + Z or CMD + Z, will restore the issue)
- Alternatively, you can click the Resolve button in the Notes section that pops up when you click on an Issue (the button appears in the bottom right-hand corner)
Outside of a meeting
It is not EOS® "pure" to close an Issue outside of a meeting. That said, if the need arises you can follow the steps below:
- Click Meetings in the top menu bar
- Click the gear icon (Edit Meeting) to the right of the meeting
- Click Issues on the left
- Click the trash can icon to the right of the issue to archive
TIP: Consider leaving a note by the issue to keep the Archive history accurate. For example "NOT Issue".
