This session was a hands-on training for city council staff (likely the clerk and council members) on the new Granicus Live Manager and Vocast Web voting system. The training covered how to set up, launch, and manage a meeting using the platform, including voting, timestamps, roll call, motions, speaker queue, and display settings. The meeting was a test, not a formal public meeting, and no substantive agenda items were discussed or voted on.
That's instructional. Come on. So yeah, I mean, obviously, publishing your agenda is a big piece of it. Once it's published to Insight, you can come in and see it. You'll see the actual event here. We have the uh the agendas outline. That's important. If you go back to the basic tab, though, there's a couple of things you want to check on before we get started. So the one thing is enable voting, right? We just have the you can use either no encoder or the new granicus osspreary encoder, that's fine. Once you enable voting, you'll have some other options as well that come in after it. The one is show live votes. So if you haven't seen it yet, we're gonna have the vocast display that comes up during our test meeting and stuff like that. And once the vote is live, um, it'll show whoever's voting and how they voted. Now, while their voting is going on, other people might change their mind and go from yes to no to abstain. Are you planning to to want to show the public that you have council members that are changing their minds six times? No, we don't want the public to see them in the voting process. Okay, so what would happen instead? If you want to do this, we can show the live tally. It'll just say at the end, okay. That's good. That's yeah. I never want to say like you shouldn't do the one, but just to me, most places don't like that, but whatever. Um like the live votes. Yeah, don't like the live votes. They want to see what's happening at the end there. So the common council and profile one, it's just a matter of which one of those settings do you want as far as the yes, no abstain, recuse, excuse, whatever other ones you have and stuff like that. You can pick it. We can go back in and clean that up when you're done. Uh when we're done here, no problem. Um, we're gonna just save those settings. Uh, and from here, we can launch the event. Can we make those default? Yeah, when you go back into here, if you pick the one, um, let's pick which one we want to use. Okay. So the one that we have as the default was uh let's see, common council will be default, I guess. One, two, three. And let's let's get rid of the other one. That's got that. And let's go back. Oh, that was the default. Okay. Hold on. Default. One, two, three, four, five. Save it. Let's delete that one. Okay. I'm gonna just change this to say common council. And I'll I'm gonna go back in and restart the meeting.
