Also, check out the default features that should have a few more screenshots available.
3. Meetings & Scheduling
Any meeting can have *unlimited external participants. However, users who can create/ update meetings are limited to the number of users on your plan
Never Expires meetings can be joined by all participants at any time without any time restrictions.
To clarify the difference, meetings that are set for a specific date/time cannot be joined by external users before the start of the meeting.
Additionally, once the meeting duration has passed, external users cannot join back in either.
No, external users are NOT a part of your team and thus do not have access to these features.
In fact, you can setup an external user to have video only, meaning that while on a video call they will not see the chat, nor the notes/ sketches/ boards that other meeting participants have access to.
Yes, meetings and scheduling pages are unlimited.
Please follow our detailed step-by-step guide to creating scheduling pages.
The delete button for the meeting types can be found in the meeting type editor. Simply follow these steps
- Go to the meeting type page
- Click on Editor View button to enable the editor
- Click on Settings button at the top
- At the bottom of the slide-out you should see the Remove Meeting Type button
Whether the external users need to enter a password depends on the locked setting, and that is up to the meeting creator's discretion.
- A client designation is generally used for someone who is not a part of your team but needs to use your portal for some time. For instance, a client company of yours asks you to allow their designer to use the sketch for a week, then you can set them up an that.
- A contractor is someone who is actually working for you, but is not permanently employed by you.
4. Pages
Yes, absolutely. That is what the questionnaire was designed to be added to. Follow this detailed guide to get you started.
Note: You must be on a paid plan in order to link a questionnaire to a page
5. Plans & Payment
Note: Existing users will be kept for free, as per the LTD agreement.
The Per Module is like the word says "per module". For instance, if you were interested in just the meeting scheduler, you could get just the scheduler module ( meetings + scheduling ) for $3.99/month. You would not have access to boards, sketches, questionnaires, and pages.
The Pro Plan includes ALL the modules, but costs $10.99/month.
6. Questionnaires
At this time, a questionnaire can only be added to Pages, and the page then can be made public. Here is the step-by-step guide on how to do just that. /blog/how-to-add-a-questionnaire-to-pages
Note: In the coming weeks we will be adding the questionnaire to the scheduling pages as well!
7. Users
Yes, all roles, except for contract and client, can see/update all boards, sketches, pages, and questionnaires. Those were designed as collaborative tools for the entire team collaboration in mind, not per user.
In contrast, Meetings are the only module that is per user.
