Sessionboard standard fields
Standard fields are the fields every Sessionboard event starts with, before you add any custom ones. Each belongs to one of three types — Contact, Session, or Group — and that type determines which forms, views, and imports it is available in.
Use this page to look up a field’s type and where it applies when you are building a submission form, a portal form, or an import template.

Hiding and renaming standard fields
Section titled “Hiding and renaming standard fields”Standard fields cannot be deleted, but any of them can be archived — hidden from forms, pickers, and column pickers for the whole organization from Library > Fields, or for one event from that event’s Settings > Fields — and restored later from the Hidden Fields tab. Stored values are kept and stay visible read-only on records. The exceptions are session Title and Description and contact First name, Last name, and Email, which Sessionboard needs and which cannot be archived; their labels can still be edited. The options on the Annual Revenue and Organization Structure dropdowns can be edited too. See Archive a field.
