The Sessions field is a useful tool for organizing breakout periods, workshops, or classes that occur at different times during your event. This field allows you to set whether registrants can select multiple sessions across a single sessions field, or limit them to one session. This article will guide you through how to add a Sessions field to your RegFox page and configure it to fit your event’s needs.

Add a Sessions Field
From the Pages screen, click the pencil icon on the page you want to edit
Scroll down your page, and hover your mouse over the place where you want to add the Sessions field
Click the green + icon on the page
Add the Sessions field
Customize the Label as desired
Toggle the Required field to Yes or No. If this option is turned on, your registrants will be required to choose at least one session
Toggle the Financial Options field to Yes or No. If this option is turned on, the sessions will include an additional charge
Toggle the Multiple Sessions field to Yes or No. If this option is turned on, you can allow registrants to select multiple sessions
Example Use Cases:
A good example of when to set Multiple Selections to Yes is if you’re offering repeat sessions throughout a conference. With this setting enabled, registrants can select multiple sessions for your event.
On the other hand, an example of when to set Multiple Selections to No is if your Sessions field lists all options for a specific time slot, such as the 9AM breakout. Since registrants can only attend one session at that time, it makes sense to limit registrants to a single choice.
Customize the Session Name of your sessions. This name will appear on your live page and in your reporting
Add a Description for your sessions if desired. This includes additional details about your session
Add an Image for your session (if you don't want to add an image, you can hide images for your Sessions field under Advanced Options)
Add a Price for the session (if financial options are turned on)
Add an Inventory for your event if desired
Pro Tip: The session name will appear on the registrant's confirmation page and confirmation email. Because of this, we recommend making your session title descriptive with the name of the session and the time your session takes place (if applicable) to make sure people have the important details about their session.
Click Add Session to add another session, or click the trash can icon to delete a session
Click Advanced Settings if you would like to further customize the field
Show Remaining Supply: if using limited supply, show the number of available spots on the published page
Display Price: show or hide the price of your sessions. We recommend keeping this option turned on, as this ensures your session cost is available and transparent to buyers
Enable Tax-Deductible Values (only if financial values are turned on): enter a tax-deductible value for this field. When this option is toggled on, enter the tax-deductible value of your sessions.
Show Description on Confirmation: show the session's description on the confirmation page/email
Button Text: customize the button text where registrants select a session
Hide Images: If this option is toggled on, the image option is turned off so it removes the placeholder image
Registrant Experience
When registrants visit your page, they can choose to attend one or more sessions. After completing their registration, the sessions they selected will be displayed on both the confirmation page and the confirmation email. By default, only the session name will appear, but you can also choose to include the session description through the Advanced Options field.
