== Taking Notes ==
The designated note-taker will use the ADM-008 Agenda form as the basis for taking the meeting's notes.
 
=== Preparing the ADM-008 form for note-taking. ===
In preparation for a meeting, the note-taker edits the agenda for the meeting and makes these changes:
 
* Uncheck the '''Agenda''' check box in the form's header, and check the '''Notes''' box instead.
* Uncheck all the check boxes in the '''Present''' column in the two Attendance tables.
 
=== Attendance ===
At the beginning of the meeting, Update the Attendance tables to reflect any changes in the roles, voter status, and '''Excused''' status of any members. When the roll is taken, indicate who is present and add any new members or guests. Attendance rows can be added anywhere in the table by clicking on the row and then clicking on the plus sign on the right of the table. The plus sign adds a copy of the row below. Then replace the information in the copied row with the correct attendee's information.
