How Do I Manage Session Types?

In the Social27 Events Platform, you can create session types into which your event sessions can be grouped. Session types can help attendees find sessions of interest to them.

This article explores the session type functionality, including:

• Displaying Session Types
• Creating Session Types
• Editing Session Types

Displaying Session Types

Session types appear in the search area on the Sessions page and are also signified by a colored bar along the left edge of the session tiles.

When you set your session component layout from Event Setup > Pages & Design, you can highlight session types by selecting the fourth layout option, which will group your sessions by session type within their respective session tracks. For more information about updating page components, check out this article.

Editing Session Types

To edit a session type, click the ellipses icon beside the session type you wish to update, and either select Edit or Delete.

If you delete a session type, it will no longer appear in the search area on the Sessions page, and the colored bar will disappear from all sessions that were associated with that type.
