Trelliswork 0.1.9: Reordering, Sharing, Extra Content
Itâs a lot!
FEATURES
Your Whatâs Next meeting list just got an upgrade! Next time you check out Whatâs Next youâll see your meetings sorted by what youâre up to today, whatâs coming later, and what meetings youâve missed. Now would also be a great time to pop into the settings for your meetings to make sure meeting cadence and day of week is up to date! The list will continue to learn as you run your meetings to make sure the important stuff is at the top of the list!
Now, for any of your teamâs meetings, click âShareâ at the top of the meeting page to get a link that will take anyone to this meeting. Drop that link into your calendar notice, send it to team members to give them a quick way in, or use it to encourage any technology-challenged team members to find the right meeting!
Speaking of, what happens within your team stays within your team⌠but since weâre all about cross team collaboration itâs about time to break that rule. Youâll notice when you create that link you have two options: Set access for any meeting to either âOnly people from this teamâ or âPeople from this Trelliswork Org.â If you select people from this org, any other member of your organization will be able to join, regardless of if theyâre on your team or not. Hello, cross team meetings!
This one has been a long time coming. Next time you have a meeting with more than one activity (Hopefully not an unusual situation), go ahead and move those activities around! Topics, polls, and several soon to be released exciting activity types can be dragged and dropped to make sure your agenda fits the order and flow you want.
Finding yourself trying to seed your upcoming meeting topics with extra notes for people to review before or during the actual discussion? Wish there was something other than just the topic title to give it a little more meat? This feature is for you. Topics now have an optional âContentâ field right up top. Use this to provide extra something to any topic so your team has the context they need!
Trelliswork 0.1.81: The best laid plans
FEATURES
This week has a big update to how you can plan for your next team meeting!
Introducing the ability to snooze topics on your agenda. For any topics, recurring or one-time, you can now add a number of sessions you would like to snooze. Just like kicking the can on your morning alarm clock, this will take that topic off of the upcoming agendas and return it once the snooze is over!
https://www.loom.com/share/6c1be0d99e464e9abb68433c7b638d50
You can snooze a topic from your agenda plan, as well as from a live session if plan change.
Hey remember that whole new âSnooze Topicâ feature? Thatâs all fine and good until youâve really getting through your team meeting agenda and they âHey, why donât we add back some of those topics sitting in snooze?â No problem! Just go back to your agenda plan (Click âLeaveâ in the live session⌠donât worry, weâre working on some better flows!) and update the snooze status of any topics. Changes will immediately reflect in your live session.
Look, a pictureâs work a thousand words on this one. If youâre still confused check out the video above!
And with that, comes a new version of settings in Trelliswork! Once again, I will fully admin, âHow do I change my title / update my photo / logoutâ are phrases I have heard before. Well, with an improved admin function comes the consistent UI to go with it! Click settings on the bottom left to fulfill all of your configuration and settings dreams.
Trelliswork 0.1.8: This must be the place
FEATURES
Itâs possible you saw this one coming.
Next time you create an action item, go ahead and throw due date on there too! Weâre doing a lot of work on building out how meeting timing, action item due dates, and more work together to make your teamâs work more aligned and productive, but to start small, have some optional action item due dates!
There is a non-zero number of organizations that are duplicative in the Trelliswork database. Iâm not saying a lot. Countable on one hand. But look, Iâd prefer that number not get any larger.
So, now, when you create a new organization, youâll notice the option to allow anyone with a particular email domain to be allowed to join that organization automatically! When they sign up, theyâll be presented with an option to join your already existing organization, or to continue on and create their own.
Weâve put this one off long enough. With some of the new stuff this week (as well as some very exciting stuff coming up later this month) weâre gonna need to sort out whoâs in charge around here. Or rather, you are.
Now, both organizations and teams have administrators! Since this one gets into the details Iâm gonna punt to the docs if youâd like learn more. However, the main point here is now you have some appropriate control over who can change organization and team settings, and who can invite new people to your org.
And with that, comes a new version of settings in Trelliswork! Once again, I will fully admin, âHow do I change my title / update my photo / logoutâ are phrases I have heard before. Well, with an improved admin function comes the consistent UI to go with it! Click settings on the bottom left to fulfill all of your configuration and settings dreams.
Trelliswork 0.1.7: So⌠Do you like⌠Stuff?
FEATURES
Sometimes, you want to discuss things. You want everyone to get in the room and wrestle with the big issues. You want to create a real space where everyone feels comfortable voicing their authentic goals, passions, hopes, and fears.
But good lord, sometimes you need everyone to pick what kind of pizza toppings they want so that we can complete this order. This shouldnât be this difficult. Itâs pizza. Youâve all had pizza before. You know what you like. JUST SAY THAT THING.
Trelliswork has polls now. When creating activities for any meeting, click âPoll,â create a prompt and some choices, and run it in the next instance of that meeting! Polls act just like Discussions - they can be recurring or one time, and you can still record comments that get attached to the poll itself.
You know what also would have solved that whole pizza fiasco from earlier? Not even asking. Look, get 1/2 pepperoni, 1/2 veggie, and get some breadsticks as a nominal option for anyone with dairy problems. Boom. Not everything has to be a discussion. Or a poll. You landed in this role for your decisiveness, pizza-related or otherwise.
Time to let everyone know whoâs in charge. Or at least whoâs ordering the pizza. On any meeting, you can optionally select a leader. Make sure the team knows who to look to for the agenda, and create some clarity on who will be presenting.
Speaking ofâŚ
Pizza and remote meetings. You know what thatâs gonna equal? Greasy keyboard and mouse. There is no way around it. You think youâre somehow going to pull it off, even though 4 years of historic data says otherwise. An hour from now youâll be breaking out the rubbing alcohol and microfiber cloth, full of pizza and regret.
Well, now just click on whomever is running this live session (perhaps the Session Lead!?), sit back, and enjoy a hands free Trelliswork experience. As long as youâre following youâll see what they see in any live session.
Follow any session attendee to let them takeover your live session view, letting them drive the progress through agenda topics and discussions.
Enjoy the pizza.
Trelliswork 0.1.6: Weâre All Here
FEATURES
Way back when tech startup banking was a sure thing, we shipped Session Banners. If you needed to be somewhere, Trelliswork had your back.
But how do you know everyone else is here? Weâre not saying you donât trust your teammates, but it sure sounds like Zoeyâs ordering coffee right now. Sure would be nice to know if sheâs actually looking at the same well planned Live Session that the rest of us are.
Well that dream is now a reality. Look at the bottom left of any live session to see whoâs there!
Only see your face? Well⌠I mean⌠Maybe make your meetings more interesting? Iâm just saying weâre fairly confident itâs not a bug.
Now, when you create a new action item in your teamâs meeting, it will show up in all of that teamâs meetings by default. Donât want that? No problem - when you create a new action item, you have the choice to connect it to any session you have access to. Weâve just updated the default. If we see a lot of you unchecking these boxes weâll admit we were wrong and discipline the responsible party.

Trelliswork 0.1.5: Stealthy team, banners, links⌠we did a lot.
Where to beginâŚ
FEATURES
Look, we get it. Some of your teams get up to stuff thatâs maybe not for everyoneâs eyes. Weâre not here to judge. You do you. And if thatâs what you do, weâre ready to support that.
Make sensitive teams private! Now, team members can mark teams they are a part of as private, making it so that team is invisible to anyone who is not a member.
Perfect for leadership teams, finance and accounting, surprise parties, and anytime you say âI donât want to know how you do it, just do it.â Weâre not suggesting that last one is healthy behavior, to be clear.
Have you ever started a session, gotten some work done with your team, then all just headed out for lunch without ending the session? YEAH WE KNOW. Well, now you get an extra little nudge to remind you to wrap that up. Start ending sessions, start getting awesome session summaries and stats!
Youâll see the banner hereâŚ
Also hereâŚ
Pretty much everywhere.
Remember back on⌠scrolling⌠scrolling⌠Jan 30th! Back on Jan 30th, we rolled out Action Item Linking across sessions? Well, that feature - which weâve noticed was a hit - is now available everywhere you find action items. Did you already think that? Well then this conversation never happened. But for astute users, you will now notice that you can link up action items directly for any Session.
