Build Schedule Inside an App

[JWashi]

Hello, it's me again! I am creating an event management app for a conference my job is hosting. I want to be able to provide attendees with a personalized list of sessions that they selected. This means, within the app attendees will look at the list sessions and click the add button next to the session to add it to their personal schedule within the app. How does one go about getting that done?  Do I use the patch function?

The only way I can think to easily do this is to have one list which would be called events and have nother list that would be called registrations or something. The events list would store events that users could choose from while the registrations list would store all the registrations that users made. for example

Events List

EventName, StartTime, EndTime, Topic, Description/Overview, NumberOfAttendees

Registrations List

EventName, UserName, StartTime, EndTime, Topic, Description/Overview

You would build a screen that would contain a gallery linked to the Events list where users would select the events they wanted to attend. When an even was selected they would have the choice to add it to their event list. In reality nobody has their own list but that wont matter. Patch that event data to the Registrations list except for the Attendees count and then add 1 to the attendees count for that item in the Events list. 

Your second page would be a profile for the user to have where you would simply filter the Registrations list to only show the events where UserName = User().FullName (or use email either way). This would show the user the events they signed up for. If a user wants to delete an event from thier list remember to subtract one from that even attendees count if you want that to be accurate.
