Trainer shows timestamping and roll-call differences in new system
Summary
Staff practiced double-click timestamps, two ways to record roll call, and how the new system allows motions on items once timestamped — removing the old dependence on a pre-recorded roll call.
Trainer walked through how to timestamp agenda sections (double-click or record) so an item becomes active for motions and votes, and contrasted that with the old system that required roll call to be stamped before motions could appear.
A participant asked whether roll call still needs to be recorded to permit motioning; the trainer replied, "once you time stamp anything...even if you haven't taken roll call, you can have them motion." He explained the clerk's responsibility to mark items active and that auto-time-stamp settings will help prevent commissioners from missing an active item.
The session covered the use of timestamp backdating (10–15 seconds) to ensure a meeting's recorded start aligns with discussion onset, and the trainer encouraged clerks to set auto-jump-to-active-item to reduce mistakes.
