Fabasoft Boards 2026 February Release

Find out more about new features and improvements in Boards.

Users

As an end user, you can expect the following new features.

Subheadings for the Agenda

To better structure extensive meetings, you can now insert subheadings into the agenda. These serve as visual dividers and consist solely of a title.

Key features:

• Flexible Numbering: By default, subheadings are numbered like agenda items. However, this numbering can be deactivated individually.
• Hierarchy: Subheadings without numbering serve as pure separators and cannot contain subordinate elements.
• Seamless Integration: The subheadings are correctly displayed in both PDF protocols and Word protocols (via a separate template).

This significantly improves readability and provides a clear structure for your meeting documents.

Submitting Documents for Business Items

You can now submit documents directly from a Business Item to already existing agenda items.

Using the new action in the document list, you can add selected documents to one or more open agenda items simultaneously. Simply select the relevant meeting dates in a clear dialog box. The documents are then automatically linked to the selected agenda items, ensuring all participants have immediate access to the latest information.

Administrators

As administrators, you can expect the following new features.

Comprehensive Metadata for Business Item

To professionalize the management of business items in legislative bodies, numerous new metadata fields have been introduced. These enable precise control and evaluation of your parliamentary processes at the app level.

Key features at a glance:

• Intelligent Status: The system calculates the status automatically. A business item starts as "Submitted", changes to "Pending" when put on an agenda, and is marked as "Completed" once a closing date is set.
• Classification & Numbering: Use fields such as Business Item Type (e.g., Motion, Inquiry), Procedural Status, and a freely maintainable Business Item Number to reflect your internal guidelines.
• Responsibilities: The Responsible field allows you to assign the responsible organizational unit directly to the business item.
• Timeline Tracking: Opening and closing dates provide a seamless representation of the business item's lifecycle.

This metadata is consistently available across the entire Boards configuration and forms the basis for efficient reporting.
