Word Add-In

A Microsoft Word® integration that makes minutes simple


Solutions  >  Meeting Efficiency Suite  >  Word Add-In



Minutes documents serve as the official account of a proceeding and reflect the decisions of a select group of individuals. Their accuracy and availability are of the utmost importance for public organizations. Creating these documents can take clerks and recorders days to complete. Plus, some organizations require that minutes be presented in specific formats and include municipal branding.

To ensure consistency in minutes templates many clerks are turning to Granicus' Meeting Efficiency Suite to help them finalize minutes documents quickly and easily in the familiar interface of Microsoft Word. Through this integration, staff can review the meeting video as they edit minutes to ensure complete records accuracy before publishing minutes to their website.


Word Add-In


Finalize your minutes in a familiar interface.

After a meeting is adjourned your draft Minutes will appear in the Granicus system. Simply choose the "Integrated Word" option to complete and polish your minutes in Microsoft Word. Formatting the document is easy; select fonts, sizes and colors like you would for any Word document. All of the functionality of Word is available through the integration, giving you full control of the look and feel of your minutes.

Finalize your minutes in Word





Ensure greater records accuracy—view the meeting video as you edit minutes.

Review the archived meeting video as you complete your minutes to ensure that you've accurately captured all information. Agenda items are hyperlinked to the video based on timestamps created through the live meeting workflow. Using the jump-to points, review discussions and make changes to the document as needed.

View Meeting Video While Editing Minutes





Publish minutes to your website in record time.

Once the document is complete, publish minutes to your website and post them alongside the video to keep audiences informed of important policy outcomes. Citizens, staff and the media now have access to a complete account of the meeting, fully-integrated with the video. Audiences can click a hyperlinked agenda item within the minutes document and view the discussion of that item.
