1. Each event, whether a session, a keynote, or special event, must have its own unique timeslot Use the **ADD New Time Slot** box to define each time slot – by date, start and end time, and giving it a unique identifier – usually a two character code, though not necessarily. ||
 * //NOTE: (You do **__not__** setup a timeslot for each individual workshop – all workshops that run for the __same time period__ share __one common__ timeslot).//

2. Once the timeslots have been defined in terms of date and times, and identifiers, a second pass through the timeslots is needed to set the ORDER in which they should appear when attendees are picking sessions. Click the **Make First TimeSlot** button next to the timeslot that is the first one that attendees need to see in order to pick their workshop sessions. (e.g. – above, the Publishers Display and Dinner Timeslots, and Keynote timeslot are all required because events are attached to them, and they must appear on the attendees timetable, but the First TimeSlot that attendees must choose a workshop when they register online will be timeslot T1) ||

Click the **MODIFY** button for each timeslot and set the PREVIOUS and NEXT TimeSlot values from the drop down list. The first should be set already (see above). Each timeslot should link to the one before and the one after it. Click **UPDATE** each time to save changes, then **MODIFY** the next one. ||
 * 4. For conferences with multiple days, a list of dates will appear at the bottom of the screen. In a similar fashion, each day must be linked to the next and previous day, and the first timeslot of each day must be identified. //(This is so the NEXT DAY and PREVIOUS DAY buttons work during the Pick Sessions section of the online registration)// ||
