Think of Netflix, playlists are rows of sessions displayed on the event homepage
 | Merci A Last updated April 11, 2025 |
Playlists appear as rows on the event homepage and are made up of sessions. Before you begin to create playlists, you must create your sessions first under Content > Sessions tab.
Once you have sessions, go to Content > Playlist tab and on this page, you'll find a default playlists: All visible sessions, Watch again, Up next, and Recommended . These are auto generated by the system but you are free set the playlist as active or inactive as needed. You can also create new playlists easily by clicking on the Create button.
- Name: The title of the row which will also be visible on the front end i.e. "Day 1 sessions" or "Event activities".
- Layout: Design the playlist rows by selecting either of the three options:
- Dynamic - shows a right scrolling row of sessions tiles.
- Popular - follows a dynamic layout but organizes the sessions based on how many times they've been viewed.
- Block - shows all sessions in multiple rows. Please take note that selecting this also gives a user an option to choose the information pop-up (Pop up or Drop down). - Status: Select either active for the playlist to be visible on the event page or inactive if hidden from view.
- Add group session with the same title - when enabled, this combines sessions with the same name into the same session tile and will allow users to choose between the different session times.
- Show sessions title/time: Select accordingly whether the sessions title and/or time should be visible.
- Visible in:
- Homepage - Playlist rows that are visible within the event landing page.
- Video on demand - Playlists which are only visible within a VOD page. Please note that the Video on demand page needs to be enabled under Design > General Settings > Pages as shown below:
- Both: Visible within both the landing page and VOD feature page. - Sort by: The Sort functionality helps you define the order of sessions within each row.
- Target attendees: Target playlists to specific attendee types i.e. If the playlist is called 'sales' you might want to target it to only members of the sales team ticket type.
Select save and click back into the newly created playlist to pull through your sessions. Find the sessions tab at the bottom of the page, select add session and tick the sessions you wish to pull through to the playlist. The sort functionality here (three line icons beside the session name) helps you to define the order of sessions within each row.
Once the playlist is created, you can also use sorting function to determine the placement of each playlist row on the homepage.
