The following procedure describes how to create a session for a MedEd event. Repeat this procedure for each required session.

To create a session for a MedEd event

1. Navigate to the MedEd screen, then the MedEd Events view.

2. In the MedEd Events list, drill down on an event.

3. Click the Sessions tab.

4. In the Sessions list, create a new record and complete the necessary fields.

   Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   CME Credit	Number of Continued Medical Education Credits (CME) that can be earned by attending the session. This field is not typically displayed on the Physician Portal Web site, but can be configured to do so as an implementation detail.
   End Date	Defaults to end date and time for the event that includes the session. However, for multiple session events, each session’s end date and time can differ from the end date and time of the event. Typically, the time is the most important part of this setting. For MedEd for Customers, this field appears on the Physician Portal Web site.
   Location	Describes where the session will be held. Typically used to indicate a room name or number within a hotel, conference center, or other venue.
   Max Attendees	Indicates the maximum number of attendees for the session.
   Products	One or more products targeted for discussion during the session.
   Session Name	Name of the session within a multiple-session event. For single-session events, simply repeat the event name. For MedEd for Customers, this field appears on the Physician Portal Web site.
   Session Objective	Overall goal for the participants attending the session. For MedEd for Customers, this field appears on the Physician Portal Web site, but the field name is changed from Objective to Description.
   Speaker First Name	The application automatically supplies this value if a Speaker Last Name is selected. For MedEd for Customers, the value of this field combined with the value of the Speaker First Name and appears on the Physician Portal Web site.
   Speaker Last Name	Select the last name of the person giving a presentation during the session. For more information on managing contacts, see Creating a Contact. For MedEd for Customers, the value of this field combined with the value of the Speaker First Name and appears on the Physician Portal Web site.
   Start Date	Defaults to start date and time for the event that includes the session. However, for multiple-session events, each session’s end date and time can differ from the end date and time of the event. Typically, the time is the most important part of this setting. For MedEd for Customers, this field appears on the Physician Portal Web site.
   Status	Indicates whether the session is active, canceled, completed, in progress, or inactive. For MedEd for Customers, this field appears on the Physician Portal Web site. Note: When the status is Completed, the event and its children records—such as Invitees, Sessions, Material, Activities, and Activity Plan—are locked.
