How to create agenda for an event in Zoho Backstage

Agenda Settings

Plan your event with an intuitive agenda for each day. With Zoho Backstage, ensure that everyone attending the event has the latest agenda to avoid any disruptions. Do this without having to print your agenda on paper or maintain changes across multiple spreadsheets.



  1. Go to the Manage > Agenda from the dock. The default track will display.
  2. Optional: Click the Add Track button in the right if required. You can populate up to ten tracks for an event.
    1. Optional: Click the name of the track to change the name.
  3. Double-click on a track to open the Add Session panel.
  4. Enter the details about your session such as session type, duration, description, etc.; in the Add Session panel that is displayed. Sessions that don't have a duration will be displayed in the Sessions not finalized area on the top.
  5. Click Done to save the changes and go back to the Agenda page.
  6. Click the arrow associated with the event day at the top of the page to navigate to other days if you are conducting a multi-day event. The timeline for a selected day will be displayed where you can repeat the previous steps to create your agenda.

To choose a Track Color


  1. Click the Menu icon [] to the right of a track.
  2. Select the Track Color option from the menu.
  3. Choose a color from the Select Color section.

To delete a track

  2. Select the Delete option from the menu. The Delete Track dialog box will display.
  3. Click Delete. If there were any sessions in the track that were deleted, they will move to the default track.
Note: All tracks, other than the default track, can be deleted. 

Import an agenda

Upload your event's schedule if you already have it planned out before-hand.



  1. Go to the Manage > Agenda from the dock.
  2. Click the Menu icon [] on the right corner and select the Import option.
  3. Click Continue.
  4. Select the file that has the agenda that you want to upload.
    Note: Upload your agenda in a spreadsheet file.

Note:

  • Use the Export option to download a reference spreadsheet. Ensure that you add a sample session in the agenda before exporting so that you can understand the format in which you must add your session data.

  • If your agenda import has failed, you will receive an email with a list of identified errors and their resolution. Use this as a reference to fix the incorrect information provided in your file and try importing again.

  • Ensure that your file is not password protected before you import an agenda.
