Reports of all resolutions can be printed prior to Council meetings or viewed electronically during meetings.

2The working of the Resolution Assist module:
Resolution
  • Step 1

    - The Resolution Source captures the required actions per defined portfolio on the online system using SMART principles. Each resolution is assigned a Responsible Person and an Action Owner;

  • Step 2

    - The Action Owner(s) will review the required actions and update progress by capturing action status and percentage (%) completion;

  • Step 3

    - The Action Owner(s) will mark the action as complete once finalised, which updates the user’s personal dashboard;

  • Step 4

    - The Responsible Person(s) and Management team can access the system to provide support and guidance, while Resolution Sources can edit assigned actions when required;

  • Step 5

    - The Users can generate reports and graphs as needed, with all information supported by an automated online activity log;
