Managing Categories: Create, Select, and Remove

This guide explains how to create, select, and remove categories in the scheduling system. Using categories helps participants filter sessions more effectively, making it easier to find the ones that match their interests.

Please note: If you have abstracts linked to the schedule, please do not delete any categories that have already been added. Removing these categories will break the connection to the abstracts, and they will no longer be schedulable in the system. For more details, refer to point 14.

1. Navigate to "Scheduling"

2. Click the session you want to add a category to.

3. Click "Manage categories"

4. If you’ve previously created categories, you can select them from the list on the left.

5. To remove a category from a specific session, simply click “Remove” as shown in the image below.

6. To add a new category, click "New category"

7. Type the name of the category.

8. Click here to add a category color.

11. After selecting a color, click "Create category"

12. Click "Add category". Please note: A session may have multiple categories, but the color is based on the category selected first.

13. Once done, click "Update session"

14. Warning: If you have abstracts linked to the schedule (see image below), please do not delete any categories that have already been added. Removing these categories will break the connection to the abstracts, and they will no longer be schedulable in the system.
