Session / Function streams are a way to group Sessions / Functions into relevant categories. For example: A group or workshops in the one room over the period of a day. You may set up a stream for each room in the venue, and then put that room’s / Functions in that stream.
When setting up a stream, depending on your individual event needs it is possible to nominate whether a delegate needs to select their Sessions / Functions from an individual stream, or if they are allowed to purchase / Functions from multiple streams.
You can also nominate how many Sessions / Functions an attendee can select from individual streams e.g. The attendee can select two Sessions / Functions from each stream. If however you wanted to give the attendee five Sessions / Functions from multiple streams in no particular format, the best way to manage this would be via a ticket, so they can select from anywhere they want until they reach five Sessions / Functions.
To turn on / Function streams for your event:
- Navigate to Event Setup > Event Settings > Registrations Tab
- Scroll down to Multiple Sessions / Functions and change "Include Streams” to “Yes”
- Nominate whether the delegate has to select all of their Sessions / Functions from one stream or they can select from multiple streams.
- Select the relevant program template (a program template has to be used for streams). For more information refer “Using program templates to display Sessions / Functions and your program”
- Select Save
Now streams are turned on we can add our streams.
- Navigate to Event Setup > Sessions / Functions > Streams
- Click “Add Stream”
- Give the stream a name -> This is for internal purposes only
- Give the stream a start time on the day it begins
- Give the stream a description -> This is for internal purposes only
- If the stream has a chairperson you can add one or leave it blank as its not a mandatory field.
- Select a color for the stream. Each stream will have a color highlighted for it, and the Sessions / Functions will be marked for the color of the stream they belong in.
- If you wish to nominate how many Sessions / Functions can be select from this stream, add them in the Max # Optional / Functions field.
- Save
Repeat the process for all of your required streams.
