Communicate Selection Requirements to Registrants
The Schedule Registration feature in Cadence allows you to set clear expectations for how many schedule items attendees must or can select during event registration. Through the Registration Menu › Schedule section, you can configure how these requirements are communicated to registrants, ensuring they understand the minimum and maximum selection rules before completing their registration.
When to use
When requiring attendees to select a specific number of sessions
When limiting how many sessions each attendee can register for
When you need to clearly communicate selection rules to registrants
When managing capacity across multiple sessions
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to modify registration settings.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "People" in the left sidebar menu.
Select "Registration" from the submenu that appears.
Click on the "Schedule" tab at the top of the page.
Toggle "Allow Schedule Selection During Event Registration" to enable this feature.
Disabling this setting will remove the schedule selection option from your event's registration process.
Check the "Minimum Selections" box if you want to require attendees to select a minimum number of schedule items.
Enter the minimum number of required selections in the field that appears.
Setting a reasonable minimum (such as 1-3 items) ensures engagement without overwhelming attendees.
Check the "Maximum Selections" box if you want to limit how many schedule items attendees can select.
Enter the maximum number of allowed selections in the field that appears.
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
Preview your registration form to see how the requirements appear to registrants.
The system will automatically display messages like "You must choose at least 1 and can choose up to 3 from this section to complete your registration" based on your settings.
Troubleshooting
If registrants report confusion about selection requirements:
Verify that the minimum is not higher than the maximum selection limit
Ensure there are enough available schedule items with registration enabled
Check that the validation messages are displaying correctly in the registration form preview
