Use the Import File (Excel template) to upload multiple sessions at once instead of creating them one by one.
1. Download the Template
- Go to Admin → Schedule → Import → Import Schedule Items.
- Click Template → Excel file will download. Only this template works.
2. Required Fields To successfully upload sessions, complete at least:
- Name (title of the session)
- Date
- Start & End time
- Visibility (All / Specified)
- Assigned to (if Specified)
3. Optional but Useful Fields
- Location / Room (must be created in Rooms first)
- Tracks (must be enabled in Schedule Options first)
- Companies (sponsors, profiles)
- Online Meeting link/details
- Capacity, Waitlist, Confirmation email
- Speakers (speaker profile must exist in Event Cadence)
- Extra features: Attach materials, Enable Q&A, Chat, Display attendees, Check-in.
4. Uploading the File
- Save your Excel → Go to Schedule → Import → Select File → Upload.
- The system shows success/errors.
- If errors: fix them in a new file and re-upload (don’t reuse the error file).
5. Pro Tips
- Test first in sandbox.
- To bulk edit: Export sessions, copy IDs into new Import File, edit, re-upload.
- To bulk delete: Use IDs in Bulk Actions → Delete Multiple Schedule Items.
Learning this process saves lots of time when creating event agendas.
