Adding fields for selecting sessions and dates to forms

Adding fields for selecting sessions and dates to forms

You can use the “Form fields” tab under “Forms” to add one or several fields for selecting sessions.

Depending on your requirements, you can add sessions to your form in a number of ways:

  1. As a choice of dates if the event is a recurring one.
  2. As a choice of sessions included in the event program that guests can select from.
Session choice menus will only contain the options created under > Sessions.

Adding a choice of dates for registering for a session:

Adding a choice of dates means that a guest will first of all have to select a date on the event website before being able to register for an event. This means that a guest will be registering for one of a number of dates provided for a recurring event (e.g. a roadshow or series of lectures).
  1. Click on the + symbol and then the “Add session choice” button. This option is also always displayed directly at the bottom of the list.



  2. Drag and drop the session choice element right to the top of the list so it forms the first row.
  3. Enter the name for the session choice that you want to be displayed on event website into the “Session choice” field.
  4. Enter “1” into the “Max.” field.
  5. If you want to restrict the choice of sessions being displayed, select a session category.
  6. You can leave the “Display main guest”, “Display additional guest”, “Field width”, “Whole row” and “Condition” fields blank.



Use of sessions for displaying items on an event program: 

This option allows guests to view and select individual sessions from the event program on the registration form. Depending on the settings, guests will be able to select a single or multiple sessions or select sessions by category at different locations in the form.
  1. Click on the + symbol and then the “Add session choice” button. This option is also always displayed directly at the bottom of the list. 
  2. Drag and drop the session choice element to whichever place you prefer in the form (other than the first row).
  3. Enter the name for the session choice that you want to be displayed on event website into the “Session choice” field.
  4. Enter the minimum number of sessions that a guest has to select into the “Min.” field.
  5. Enter the maximum number of sessions that a guest can select into the “Max.” field.
  6. If relevant, select the relevant settings for the “Display main guest”, “Display additional guest” and “Condition” fields. 
  7. The “Field width” and “Whole row” fields do not apply in this case, because a session choice field will always take up the entire width of the form.

You can integrate the session choice fields at multiple points in a form. To limit the sessions being displayed, you have to assign every session to at least one session category (under > Sessions). Next, select a session category on the form for the relevant session choice to restrict the choice of sessions being displayed.
