Configure filters and how sessions look in the agenda list

In the Sessions module, in the Preferences tab, you can configure how the sessions will look in the agenda list. To do so, go to Content editor >  Session list: 

Master and track sessions

Master sessions can contain one or more track sessions (up to 50 track sessions per master session). The settings here allow you to decide how these master and track session will look in the agenda's list of sessions.

Track sessions to display

Use the below options to determine whether you want the master session and any track sessions to appear directly in the session list in then agenda.

All: When expanding a master session, all track sessions will be displayed in order no matter whether they were targeted to the current user, or they signed up for any of the sessions. This is the default setting.

Targeted or registered only: Master session + only targeted and registered track sessions will be displayed (using an "expand master session" button).

None: Default setting. Only the master session will appear. Track sessions will only display when the participants open the master session.

Automatically expand master sessions

By default this option is not selected, and users will need to use an "expand master session" button associated to the master session in order to see the track sessions in the agenda session list.
If you select this option, the track sessions will be fully displayed in the agenda session list by default (i.e. without the participants needing to use the expand master session button.

Tips:
If you have multiple breakout sessions, and participants need to sign up for one session per breakout, use Targeted or registered only with Automatically expand track sessions.
If you want to highlight the topic or the speakers of your breakouts, use None. This will first display the session page and then the track sessions below.

Display

Use the checkboxes here to display or not the items listed below for your sessions:

• Registration checkmarks appear in the session when user's have registered.
• Tags can be made visible or not in the session.
• Speaker photos can be displayed or not in the sessions.
• End time can be displayed or not for sessions.

Tips:
If all sessions in your agenda are personalised (targeted), we recommend that you uncheck the Registration checkmarks option.
If you have two or less tags, consider not displaying them at all by unchecking the Tags option.
To change text of the second line displayed below the session name, go to Setup > Metadata Manager > Session > Expand representations > 2nd line. You can map this to any other metadata field.
