How to filter contacts by session status?

Use Contact views to quickly find people based on their session status (Accepted, Declined, Pending) and other session-related flags.

Method 1: Using Pre-Set Filters

Go to the Speakers/Chairpersons/Moderators view, and click one of the pre-set filters at the top:filter-by-session-status7

The list instantly narrows to speakers on sessions with that status—no setup needed:

  • Session – Accepted
  • Session – Pending
  • Session – Declined 

Method 2: Manually

1) Go to the Contacts view

  1. From your event, open any tab under Contacts, can be 'All Contacts', 'Speakers', 'Chairpersons', 'Moderators, or 'Session Submitters'.

  2. Click Show/Hide Fields.

This opens the field picker for the current view.

2) Expose the Session Fields

  1. In the field picker, switch to Reporting Fields.
    filter-by-session-status2-1

  2. Scroll down to Session Fields.

  3. Check the boxes for the fields you want to use (e.g., [Session] Status – Accepted, Declined, or Pending).

  4. Click Update View to apply.

Tip: You can select the three (Accepted - Declined - Pending) in this section if you plan to filter by different statuses frequently.

3) Add a filter by session status

  1. In the left sidebar, under Filters, click Add Filter +.
    filter-by-session-status4

  2. Choose the session field you enabled (e.g., [Session] Status – Accepted).

  3. Set the condition (e.g., is checked to include Accepted, or is not checked to exclude).

  4. Click 'Add filter' to see matching contacts.

• Find declines: [Session] Status – Declined → is checked.
• Review invites pending: [Session] Status – Pending → is checked.

Troubleshooting

  • I don’t see Session Fields. Make sure you’re in Reporting Fields → and scroll down till you find Session Fields; then click Update View.

  • Filters aren’t changing results. Confirm the correct Session Status field is selected and the condition is set to is checked.
