Creating Action Items in Meeting Minutes

Action items help track tasks and follow-ups discussed during meetings. In Buildend, you can create and manage action items directly within your meeting minutes. Follow the steps below:

Creating a New Action Item

  • Navigate to the Meeting Minute where you want to add an action item.
  • In the Meeting Editor Toolbar, click the Action Item icon.

    • Alternatively, press Ctrl + Shift + T to create an action item using a shortcut.
  • Fill out the action item form:
    • Name of the action item
    • Due Date
    • Assigned User
    • Status
    • (Optional) Associated Meeting Minute

      Click Save Action Item.

    • The form will reset, allowing you to immediately create another action item if needed.

Adding or Editing an Existing Action Item

  • To link an existing action item, click on the item directly within the meeting.
  • This will open the Edit window, where you can update its details.

Note: When a follow-up meeting is created, any action items that do not have a “Complete” status will automatically carry over into the new meeting for continued tracking.


This feature helps ensure important tasks are captured, assigned, and followed up on across your meetings.
