Although it looks the same as adding a Single Event to the Calendar, there are important differences. You are asked to go through the whole process for creating a single event, however:

Note

Only limited data from the sessions are actually displayed, the data for the full Multi-Session Event takes precedence.

...

You must choose a date and time that falls within the overall time between the start and end times of the entire Multi-Session Event (yellow). If you don’t, you will get an error message (red).

If you try to set a date outside of the window of the Multi-Session Event, you will get the above error message (highlighted in red).

There are 2 other potentially important options in the Event Info tab of a Multi-Session Event.

  • Select the radio button next to Disable Add to Calendar function on Websites to indicate that you do not want this individual session to show up on website calendars if you don’t want people to be able to add this single session to their personal calendar. This is useful if, for instance, attendees must register for the entire event and it’s not possible to attend only a single session.

  • Select the radio button next to Break/Recreation Session to indicate that this session is a break or for recreation, which results in it being formatted differently than other sessions on the website.

To move on to the next section, click Save and Continue at the bottom of the page, When you are done editing the individual session, select View Full Event.

This could be useful for a training conference where people might break up into smaller groups to attend their choice among several available sessions.

If your Multi-Session event has concurrent eventssessions, they will have a special design on the YSM website to indicate this:
