Set Up and Use Tracks for Organizing Schedule Items
The Tracks feature in Cadence allows you to categorize schedule items into logical groups, making it easier for attendees to find relevant sessions. Located in the Schedule Menu › Settings section, this feature helps you organize your event schedule by topic, format, audience level, or any other classification that makes sense for your event.
When to use
When organizing events with multiple session types or themes
When you want attendees to filter the schedule by specific categories
When creating a complex agenda with concurrent sessions
When you need to assign different visibility settings to groups of sessions
Before you start
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to enable and configure Tracks. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "Schedule" in the left sidebar menu.
Select "Settings" from the submenu that appears.
Locate the "Enable Tracks" checkbox in the settings panel.
Check the box to enable the Tracks feature.
If you need to categorize sessions in multiple ways (such as by both topic and audience level), also enable the "Multiple Track Types" option.
Click "Save" to apply your settings changes.
Select "Tracks" from the Schedule submenu (this option appears after enabling Tracks).
Click the "+" button to create a new track.
Enter a name for your track that clearly describes the category.
Set visibility options if you want to restrict track access to specific groups.
When Multiple Track Types is enabled, you can create different categories of tracks (such as "Topics," "Formats," or "Audience Levels").
Create additional tracks as needed for your event organization.
Return to the Schedule Items section.
Edit each schedule item to assign it to one or more tracks.
Save your changes to each schedule item.
Changes to track assignments will immediately affect how sessions appear to attendees in the schedule.
Preview your event website to see how tracks appear in the schedule.
Add tracks to your event menu as featured items if you want attendees to quickly access filtered views.
Troubleshooting
If tracks are not appearing in the dropdown when editing schedule items, verify that you've saved your settings after enabling the Tracks feature and that you've created at least one track in the Tracks section.
