Adding Session Tags

1 min read

Session Tags let you label and group sessions by theme, topic, track, or other shared details. They’re a powerful tool for organizing your event and managing similar sessions efficiently.

Add Session Tags via General Settings #

  1. Go to General Settings in your event dashboard.
  2. Find the Session Tags section and click Edit.
  3. Click Add to create a new tag.
  4. Once you’ve created the tag, you can assign it to individual sessions:
    • Go to the Schedule tab.
    • Click on the session you want to edit.
    • Click Edit for that session.
    • Under the Tags section, choose the appropriate tag(s) to assign. Click Publish or save as Draft to apply the changes.
    •  Or use the Bulk Action: select the sessions you want to assign a session tag to, click ‘Tag’ in the Bulk Action menu, and then assign the tag.

Add and Assign Tags Using the Spreadsheet #

You can also add and assign session tags in bulk using the session spreadsheet:

  1. Download your session spreadsheet.
  2. In the spreadsheet, there’s a column for Tags — you can directly type in the tags for each session.
    • You don’t need to add these tags in General Settings first — adding them in the spreadsheet is enough.
  3. Upload the updated spreadsheet back into Sched to apply the changes.

 

Things to Keep in Mind:

  • Tags must be under 255 characters
  • Cannot include commas, quotes, or newlines
  • Tags are only visible to event admins in the backend
  • They do not appear on the public-facing schedule

💡 Tips:

  • Use clear, consistent naming for tags
  • Ideal for internal planning, filtering, and backend setup
  • Make it easy to sort and manage similar sessions behind the scenes
