Configure Default Schedule Settings for New Events
The Account-level Schedule settings in Cadence allow you to establish default configurations that will automatically apply to all newly created events in your account. From the Schedule Menu › Settings section, you can control display formats, enable features like tracks and live polling, and configure check-in methods to ensure consistent schedule experiences across your organization's events.
When to use
When standardizing schedule configuration across multiple events
When implementing brand guidelines for schedule presentation
When creating templates for different event types
When streamlining the event creation process
Before you start
You must have System Administrator permissions to configure default Schedule settings at the account level.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to the Account administration page.
Select your Account from the available options if you manage multiple accounts.
Click on the "Save" tab in the top navigation menu.
Select the "Schedule Settings (Default)" tab from the secondary navigation.
Choose your preferred "Schedule View" from the dropdown:
List View: Text-only format showing more items at once
Image List View: Format with imagery to enhance visual appeal
Choose "List View" for events with many schedule items to improve loading speed and readability.
Toggle "Enable Live Polling" to ON if you want this feature available by default.
Toggle "Display People" to control whether people associated with schedule items are shown.
Enable Tracks by toggling the switch if you want schedule categorization available.
Toggle "Multiple Track Types" if your events typically require different track categories.
Multiple Track Types allows for more complex event organization with different track categories.
Configure "Maximum Number of Elective Schedule Items" if you want to limit how many sessions attendees can register for.
Set default calendar sync date ranges that make sense for most of your events.
Select which check-in methods should be enabled by default:
Standard Attendee Check-in
Badge Scan Check-in
Legal Disclaimer Check-in
Signature Capture Check-in
Customers Check-in
Enabling too many check-in methods can create confusion. Select only those that align with your organization's standard practices.
Click "Save" to apply your default schedule settings.
Troubleshooting
If your default settings aren't appearing in new events:
Verify you've saved your changes at the account level
Confirm you have System Administrator permissions
Check that you're creating new events (settings won't apply retroactively to existing events)
