Still working on it. It's a pretty long, but good, list.

Almost done. What about Attended? For any given Attendee, there can be multiple Attended: Event, and/or Day, and/or Session. Count those as attended who have attended all which include signin/signout?

This is raising an interesting question. We have Tokens and Certificates for Days and Sessions, but not separate Fees. I understand that we know who attended and therefore who gets the Certificate, but how do we know, in advance, who is registered for each Session? How about if it's a different fee if you only register for one day of a two-day Event?

Adding separate Fees to Days and Sessions is a lot of work. Weeks, if not months. BTW, the way it is now, factored into Total Attended those who are marked as Attended for everything for a given Event.

That's what I was afraid of. As this developed, I kept waiting for that row of icons to show up under the Days and Sessions. Eventually, I just went with the flow following your lead. Oh well. It is what it is. Let's NOT postpone for weeks or months! If there ever is a case where chapters want to charge a different fee for separate Sessions, they could just give the Fee the Session name. Problem solved.

Now, on to the questions at hand. That doesn't quite make sense since some sessions could run simultaneously. People can't be in two places at once, so no one will ever be counted if there are more than one session--right?

We were actually developing what you were thinking of before we started on this. But, we had issues we had to address in the old Events. So, we postponed it. It will roll out in the next update after this one. It featured Presentations which would be registered and paid for separately, and included Speaker Presentations.

Isn't it a possibility that there could be a selection of Sessions which they could select from which could happen at the same time, but in the scope of same Event and/or Day which does not require separate registration.

I think we're talking about two different things here. I have accepted that we are not going to have separate registrations for Days and/or Sessions for now.

I was responding to your point that Attendees are counted as Attended after attending all Sessions in the Event. This is impossible if there are multiple simultaneous Sessions--right?

I agree. Prevent simultaneous Sessions?

If I'm right, then we need an "Attended" line for each Session:
  • Attended Event (if no Sessions or only one Day)
  • Attended Day (if multiple Days)
  • Attended Session X
  • Attended Session Y

No. The question we are discussing is about how we report the count. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. It would be better to not report at all, but see my comment above.
