As a trainer/admin, you’ll create and manage sections within sessions.

This article is part of the Sessions guide. Before adding a section to session, a session activity tile must already be published and accessible in LXP. Check out this article for more support on creating a session tile.

🧩 About sections within sessions

A section is a container for one or more events within a session. Think of it as a theme, topic, or grouping.

Why we use sections?

  • Learners register at the section level, not individual events.

  • When someone registers for a section, they are automatically registered for all events within that section.

  • You can use sections to:

    • Group events by theme (e.g. Sales Fundamentals, Sales Conversations)

    • Organise by timeframe (e.g. Quarter 1, Quarter 2, etc.)

  • Learners cannot be registered to two sections within a session. They must first be deregistered from a section before registering to a new one.

Overview of sections within sessions

  1. On the session overview page, admins and trainers can see all sections within a session.

  2. Each section is grouped by status:

    • Upcoming

    • In progress

    • Past

➕ How to create a section:

  1. Go to More > Sessions

  2. Click into the session (e.g. Sales Training 101)

    1. Here there are two existing sections already: Events from Jan - March and Events from April - June.

  3. Click the + under “Upcoming” to add a section

  4. Fill in the section details:

    2. Title (e.g. Sales Fundamentals)

    3. Audience: Select the group(s) who should see and register

    4. Registration period: Define start and end dates

    5. Spots available: Default is 10, can be adjusted

    6. Optional:

      1. Allow waiting list

      2. Allow unregistering

      3. Trainer contact email: Shown to learners instead of individual trainer emails

      4. Notes: Describe the section’s purpose or goals (e.g. “Build the right mindset and understanding of what sales really is.”)

✏️ Note

You’ll need to add at least one event to save the section → (See next step, Step 4 for creating events)

👥 Important note on audience groups:

Once participants are registered to the section (manually or as individuals self register to the section):

  • You can no longer remove the originally selected audience group(s)

  • But you can still add additional groups to extend access

This is to ensure registration data integrity for reporting and tracking.

🗓 Step 4: Creating events within a section

👉 Check out this article to create events within a section!

✅ Finalise the section

Once you've added at least one event, click Save section to finalise your setup.

You’ll then be taken to the section overview, where you can:

  • 📅 View all upcoming events in the section

  • 🧑‍🏫 See assigned trainers

  • 👥 Manage registered participants

This view helps admins and trainers manage participation and monitor progress for the session.
