We have just released a new update of FirstAgenda Prepare with several improvements and bug fixes – both in the Reader and Webadmin sections. Below you’ll find the most important updates:
Reader
Display of historical notes when changing ESDH
It is now possible to retain and display historical notes even if your organisation has changed its ESDH system. This feature is particularly relevant for organisations that have used “Floating notes” and later switched system – e.g. SBSYS customers and Favrskov Municipality.
Link to Accessibility Evaluation
You can now easily access the accessibility evaluation for FirstAgenda Prepare directly via your profile.

Supplementary agendas in Prepare (SBSYS)
If the xml from ESDH contains a field indicating that it is a supplementary agenda, we can display the agenda type Supplementary agenda in Prepare. This applies initially to SBSYS and manual meetings (via a new checkbox in the meeting’s metadata).
In Reader, the label Supplementary agenda is shown in the left menu. The information can also be displayed in Publication.
Other bug fixes
- Floating notes now display correctly in the overview: Previously, notes and shared comments with “Floating notes” were not shown correctly in the note overview when a document was reopened in another meeting. This bug is now fixed – all notes are displayed as expected in both document and overview.
- The search field under notifications works again: The error in the search function when editing notifications is now fixed. You can once again search and find committees when adjusting your notifications.
- Search results from open committees: If you have the right “Can view all open committees”, searches now include all open committees.
Webadmin
New feature: Display of open titles and decisions before release
An improvement to the function showing open titles and decisions before release to ESDH:
- The function requires activation via feature switch in SysAdmin.
- Decisions are now displayed in compact form and with improved layout.
New feature: Automatic deletion of closed items content
For better data security, you can now enable automatic deletion of content in closed items after a chosen time period. When activated at the committee level, the text “Content automatically deleted” will appear in the Reader’s left menu.
The feature was developed based on requests from, among others, the City of Copenhagen and Swedish/Norwegian customers.
New feature: Formatted text in email notifications
- When releasing agendas, it is now possible to format the comment/message sent out in email notifications and SMS. This provides better readability with bold, italics, underline and bullet points.
Changes to organisation user and Publication API
Improved change tracking
Previously, it was not logged who made changes to committee access on an organisation user – only when the change was made. This has now been fixed. From now on, you can see both the date and the username of the person who last made a change.
Additional meeting participation details in Publication
Based on requests from e.g. Ballerup Municipality: Citizens can now see detailed absence status in Publication – for example, if a politician did not participate in items 2 and 5. Initially, this is only shown in Publication. Later, it may also be displayed in Prepare when the new Reader design is introduced.
