1. Session Manager’s Guide

1.1. Session Manager

The Session Manager has full control of a session. However, your Conference Manager may request you not to edit some parts of the session. You are given the Session Manager rights by your Conference Manager.

You can access your session by selecting My session from the conference menu.

Contributions need to be imported into your session before you can schedule them. By clicking on the contribution name you can then enter the modification area of that contribution.


1.2.3. Session Timetable Tab

The Session Timetable tab lets you arrange the scheduling for your session, you can add/edit/delete session blocks, organise when your contributions are going to take place, and include breaks within your session.

To change the start times of each entry, click on the entry and a balloon with the timing info will be displayed; close to the time there is an [edit] link that allows you to modify it.


1.2.4. Access Control Tab

The Access Control tab is the area in which you can set access rights for your session. Please check with your Conference Manager before changing anything in here as he may wish to set all the access rights himself.

You can assign users the rights to be Session Co-ordinators or to be Managers alongside yourself. A co-ordinator can schedule contributions and breaks, he can only change slots if they Conference Manager has given him that right. A session co-ordinator cannot change details of the session itself.


1.2.5. Tools Tab

The Tools tab allows you to delete and to write minutes for the session.


1.2.6. Comment Tab

The Comment tab stores any comments about your session. You can view this comment but only the Conference Manager can modify the comments.
