Agenda

The Agenda displays a list of Sessions in date order to let app users see what's happening at what time during your event to plan their schedule. App users can favourite sessions to build their own schedule within the app. It's possible to use Session Visibility to only show certain sessions to certain users. You can have multiple agendas within a single app.

Interactive Sessions

If your app has any Live Polls, Surveys or Q&As within it, you can link them to sessions so the interactive elements appear right on the Session Page. To do this, in the Dashboard, edit the session you'd like to add interactivity to and go to the "Other" tab. From there, select the Survey, Q&A or Live Poll which you'd like to link to the session and press Save. 

Session Filters

If your event has multiple streams or categories of session, it's possible to create a number of filters such as "Plenary", "Breakouts", "Refreshments" which can then be applied to a list of sessions. When browsing the agenda in the app, users can then filter down a large agenda by these terms to more easily browse.

It'sFilters possiblecan be nested and grouped into 'parent' and 'child' filters. This gives your attendees a useful method to havedrill parentdown into the sessions they are interested in without having to navigate through a large agenda.

Personal Agendas / Favouriting sessions

In contrast to "Allowed People" and child"Allowed filters.Groups", Attendees can 'favourite' a session by clicking the star icon next to a session in the agenda view in the app. This will add the session to the attendee's 'My Schedule' view in the app, allowing them to plan which sessions they wish to attend during the course of the event. 

You can export the current list of 'favourited' sessions from the 'Import/Export' tab of the agenda edit screen in the CMS, allowing you to get an idea of how popular sessions are and allow for planning capacity.
