# Conference Track

It’s easy to add a new conference track to the conference program. Once you created a conference program object, go to this folder object by using its navigation menu entry. Inside the program (folder) click within the menu bar on the left side on ‘Add new’. Choose from the opening submenu the entry ‘Conference Track’ and it opens a form to create a new conference track (see screenshot below).

This form contains fields to set the title of the conference track and to give a short summary description. This fields are mandatory.

Then there is field for a more detailed description of the conference program with the opportunity to e.g. provide links or add pictures and style text setting HTML tags using an editor menu.

The form has also two fields to set the begin and the end of the track and to choose a conference room from a listing of already available ones. This conference rooms has to be created inside the conference rooms folder (see the documentation about this rooms folder and the conference rooms).

Once the fields were completed save the edit form and the conference track will be created inside the program (folder) object.

## Publishing the track

The default state of the created track will be ‘private’. If you want to change this state, click inside the menu bar on the left site on the entry with this state and choose from the opening submenu ‘Submit for Publication’ or if available ‘Publish’. If you could only submit the conference track for publication a user with the appropriate permission need to publish the track later.
