How to use custom labels to improve attendee navigation experience
The Schedule Labels section in Cadence allows you to customize key terminology used throughout your event's schedule interface to enhance attendee navigation. Located in the Schedule Menu › Labels area, this feature helps create a more intuitive experience by replacing generic terms like "Track," "Location," and "Speaker" with terminology that better aligns with your event's specific context and audience expectations.
When to use
When creating events with specialized terminology needs
When standardizing navigation labels across multiple events
When making your event interface more intuitive for specific audiences
When localizing your event for different regions or languages
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to modify schedule labels. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
