Create Session Page in Series Homepage

There are 2 ways to create a session page:

• Option 1: Use “Repeat this session” function (PREFFERED METHOD)
  • Set frequency (I.e. every Friday, 2nd Monday, etc.)
  • Set end date for  current calendar or fiscal year as applicable
  • Note: You may still use this function to create 1 session at a time by setting the frequency end date
• Option 2: Manually create session
  • Refer to an approved session for template
  • See proofreading steps below

Session Page Layout

• Add session faculty to faculty list once session information is confirmed
  • Anyone contributing to the educational content of the session: Speakers, course directors, peer reviewers, moderators, planning committee members
• Return to faculty list to review for disclosure completion
• Disclosures dated before 11/11/21 will need to be updated

Which form should I use?
