Before you start
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to access and modify Schedule settings. 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.
Choose your preferred schedule view from the "Schedule View" dropdown.
"Image List View" displays schedule items with thumbnail images, while "List View" provides a more compact text-only display.
Toggle "Enable Live Polling" to allow interactive audience participation during sessions.
Enable "Display People" to show presenters and other personnel on schedule items.
Toggle "Enable Tracks" to organize schedule items into categories.
Tracks help attendees filter the schedule to find sessions relevant to their interests.
Enable "Multiple Track Types" if you need to categorize sessions in more than one way.
This allows you to create track categories like "Topic," "Audience Level," or "Format" to provide multiple filtering options.
Toggle "Maximum Number of Elective Schedule Items" if you need to limit how many optional sessions attendees can select.
Enter a maximum number in the field that appears when the above option is enabled.
Set calendar sync date range by entering start and end dates.
Sessions outside this date range won't appear in calendar subscriptions, so ensure all event dates are included.
Configure check-in options based on your event requirements:
Enable Standard Attendee Check-in for basic attendance tracking
Enable Badge Scan Check-in for faster processing using QR codes
Enable Legal Disclaimer Check-in when compliance documentation is required
Enable Signature Capture Check-in for verified attendance records
Enable Customers Check-in to track external attendees separately
Click "Save" to apply your settings changes.
The system will not save if any required fields are incomplete or contain invalid values.
Troubleshooting
If schedule items aren't displaying properly after saving settings:
Verify that the date range for calendar sync includes all your schedule items
Check that you have the appropriate permissions to modify schedule settings
Ensure any required fields are completed before saving
