Tracks (also referred to as rooms) represent the physical locations where sessions take place during a conference. Every presentation in SpreaView must be assigned to a track, as this ensures that session reviews can be tied to the correct location and schedule.

Why Tracks Matter

Tracks are more than just room names—they are a foundational part of how SpreaView helps organizers gather and manage feedback. They provide:

  • Structure for session scheduling
  • Location context for attendees and organizers
  • Track-specific QR codes that link attendees directly to the review page for the currently running session

Creating Tracks

Before you can add presentations or sessions to your conference, you must first create at least one track.

To create a track:

  1. Go to the Tracks section in your conference dashboard.
  2. Click Add Track.
  3. Enter the name of the track (e.g., “Room A”, “Main Hall”, “Track 1”).
  4. Save your changes.

Once created, tracks can immediately be assigned to sessions.

⚠️ Presentations cannot be created or imported without at least one track.

Automatic Import of Tracks

If you’re importing sessions from an external source (such as Sessionize):

  • SpreaView will automatically create tracks based on the rooms or tracks defined in the external system.
  • Sessions will be automatically assigned to the appropriate tracks during the import process.

This ensures consistency and saves time, especially for large-scale events.

Track-Based Review QR Codes

One of the powerful features of SpreaView is the track-specific QR code:

  • Each track has its own unique URL and QR code.
  • When scanned, the QR code leads attendees to the currently active presentation on that track.
  • When a new presentation starts on the track, the URL automatically switches to the new presentation’s evaluation page.

This enables organizers to:

  • Print and place track-specific QR codes in the physical rooms.
  • Let attendees review presentations in real time, without needing to search or navigate manually.

🖨️ Many organizers choose to print QR codes for each track and place them on walls, doors, or presentation screens.
