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:
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
-
From your event, open any tab under Contacts, can be 'All Contacts', 'Speakers', 'Chairpersons', 'Moderators, or 'Session Submitters'.
-
Click Columns.
This opens the field picker for the current view.
2) Expose the Session Fields
-
In the field picker, check the boxes for the fields you want to use (e.g., [Session] Status - Accepted).
-
Click Apply Changes to apply.

3) Add a filter by session status
-
In the right sidebar, click Filter:

- Click Add Filter:

-
Choose the session field you enabled (e.g., [Session] Status - Accepted).
-
Set the condition (e.g., Is checked to include Accepted, or Is not checked to exclude).
-
Click 'Apply Changes' to see matching contacts.

Troubleshooting
-
I don’t see the [Session] Status Fields. Make sure you scroll down till you find Status field; you can try doing CTRL + F on your keyboard to search.
-
Filters aren’t changing results. Confirm the correct Session Status field is selected, and the condition is set to Is checked.
