Include an Ordering Number to Override Session Presentation Order

Include an Ordering Number to Override Session Presentation Order

By default the agenda will be ordered based on date & time; however you can edit the display order of sessions occurring at the same start time. When more than one session occurs at the same time in your agenda, the sessions, by default, are displayed in alphabetical order as shown Figure 1.

Update the Display Setting

To create a unique ordinal for your sessions, follow the steps below: 
  1. Go to Agenda->Display Settings in the user portal

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the field “Include an Ordering Number to Override Session Presentation Order” (See Figure 3).
  2. Select the radio button, “Yes, sort first by ordering number, then by special, then alphabetically by title” to enable this feature.

Once this feature is enabled, each agenda session will have a field called Ordering Number where you can specify a number to re-order the presentations (Figure 4).
