How to enable registration for schedule items

Enable Registration for Schedule Items

The Registration Menu in Cadence allows you to set up schedule item registration during the event registration process. Through the Registration Menu › Settings section, you can enable attendees to select and register for specific sessions while completing their event registration, eliminating the need for them to register separately for schedule items after registering for the event.

When to use

  • When you want attendees to register for specific sessions during event registration
  • When organizing events with multiple concurrent sessions that require advance registration
  • When you need to track attendance for specific sessions with limited capacity
  • When you want to streamline the registration process for attendees

Before you start

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.
    Ensure "Enable Event Registration" is toggled on.
Disabling this setting will remove the registration option from your event entirely.
    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.
Leave this field blank if you want to allow unlimited selections.
    Click "Save" to apply your changes.
    Navigate to "Schedule" in the left sidebar menu.
    Select the schedule items you want to make available for registration.
    Click on each item and navigate to the "Options" tab.
    Toggle "Enable Registration & Waitlist" to ON for each schedule item you want available during registration.
    Set capacity limits for each schedule item if needed.
    Click "Save" for each schedule item after configuring its registration settings.

Troubleshooting

If schedule items aren't appearing for selection during registration, verify that:
  • The schedule items have registration enabled in their individual settings
  • The schedule items are visible to the appropriate attendee groups
  • You've saved your changes after enabling schedule selection during registration
