We just started with OnBoardGOV but we would like to members that served on the board before our current term. Can we add these?
You can add members that served on the board as far back as you wish. We have municipalities that have board members listed going back decades!
Go into Manage Board and under Actions choose Add History.
It will bring you to the Add History screen where you will fill out the details of the older term(s).
If the member that served in the past is not in the system you can add him by clicking New and add his information as you would a new member or applicant. If he/she is no longer going to be an active member you can uncheck the Active Status box.
After you create the member you can find him/her on the dropdown menu and then you can fill in the rest of the information (For Start and End Dates you can put in any dates you choose – there is no need to parse out different terms if the member served more than one term).
Also notice that on the right you will be shown a list of past, active and future appointments to the seat.
Once the historical appointment has been added you will see the entry has been added to the Seat History. You will also see them in the timeline
