Flying Minutes is a feature with the Premium and Ultimate Plans.

Once a vote has been officially opened in Flying Minutes, you can cast your vote and monitor the voting of others.

Key Features on this page:

  1. If you are eligible to vote, there will be a big blue Cast Your Vote button. If you are not voting, everything else remains the same.

  2. Time remaining left in the vote -click on the pencil icon to update the close time.

  3. Click on refresh to update the tallies for the vote

  4. Help Voters

You can also see who has opened the document, as their initials will appear next to the attached file, plus add and read comments.

Voting: If you are voting

  1. You can see that your name will be recorded with your vote

  2. Vote options to Support, Oppose or Abstain

  3. Able to leave a comment on why you chose to vote on this motion in this way

  4. You can vote carefully, as your vote cannot be edited.

Help Voters: Those who cannot cast their votes can be assisted. When the minute taker enters a vote on someone's behalf:

  1. They can also add a comment for the person

  2. The person they are voting for will receive an email confirming the vote cast for them. -to ensure transparency

Please note that this is an open vote, so the decision will display the names of voters, how they voted, and whether they made any comments.

Depending upon your settings in Flying Minutes Automation

  1. If the participation number is at 100%, and someone abstains or is not listed as voting, then the vote will not pass

  2. Once the last vote has been cast, voting will be closed. If you have BoardPro set to calculate the vote automatically, a decision will automatically be added

If you have manually set your automation to select the outcome, click on Set Outcome once the voting has closed.

You can set the outcome as Approved or Not Approved, but again, depending upon your settings, if your participation number for Board Members has not been met, an alert will appear.
