This article explains how to change the default lengths of sessions in the programme hub. You learn more about sessions check our article here):
- Regular Conference Sessions (Keynote, Oral, Poster, Workshop, Panel),
- Conference Events (Registration, Tea and Coffee, Drink reception, Tour etc.).
By default in Ex Ordo, regular session types have a length of 60 mins. So when you create a session, it will automatically appear as one hour long in the Programme. However, you may know that all oral sessions are going to be 90 minutes and you don't want to adjust the timing inside of each oral session. You can change the default session lengths in the programme to save yourself time. For example, instead of 60 minutes:
- All Oral sessions will be 90 minutes
- All Poster session will be 120 minutes
- All Workshops will be 75 minutes long
You can still adjust individual sessions, if needed. If on workshop is 60 minutes instead of the 75 minutes that all other workshops are, no problem! You can adjust the outlier.
If you would like to set up a different length time for each individual session type, you can find this under Manage > Session Defaults.
You will see a list of Session types and you can now set up a different length by selecting time from the dropdown as below. Even if you've configured your default times here you can still manually adjust each session length in the specific session when creating them.
