Manage initiatives

Understand the basics

When a participant creates an initiative, it doesn’t only create a resource like a proposal, it creates a whole space, allowing administrators to manage in the administration:

If you didn’t configure it, once an initiative is created, it gets the Meetings and Page component enabled by default. Ask your instance implementer to modify this parameter if you don’t need it, or want other components enabled by default.

After the initiative was sent to technical validation by a participant, an administrator can view all the initiatives in the administration panel.

Admin initiatives list

You can find all the processes on this list with:

  • ID: identification number of the initiative.

  • Initiatives: title of the initiative.

  • Signatures: sum of online and in-person signatures.

  • Created at: date of creation of the initiative.

  • Published at: date of publication of the initiative.

You can filter and sort this list by clicking the "Filter" button and the columns headers. You can also search for initiatives by their title in the search bar.
