Overview
Current Session Login is a smart feature that automatically directs you to the most relevant PI Session when you log into piplanning.io. Instead of manually selecting which session to join, the system intelligently determines the appropriate session based on your systems current date and time.
How It Works
When you log in, the system uses the following logic to determine your Current Session:
PI Planning Event Dates
Primary logic: The system first checks if any PI Sessions have PI Planning Event dates that fall within the current calendar week based on your system's date and time. If a match is found, you'll be automatically logged into that session.
Note: The PI Planning Event dates which are configured on tab #1 General are designed to represent the start and end dates of the actual PI Planning Event itself. Avoid entering the dates that span the whole PI timebox as the tab #11 Iterations is used to specify these dates.
Active Iteration Dates
Secondary logic: If no PI Session exists with the PI Planning Events Dates set for the next calendar week, the system will log you into the PI Session where the Iteration dates match your current system date and time.
Important Notes
Archived PI Sessions are excluded from this automatic selection process
The system uses your local system (laptop) date and time for all calculations
Only active, non-archived PI Sessions are considered
Benefits
Saves time: No need to manually browse and select the appropriate session
Improves workflow: Seamlessly connects you to active planning activities
Reduces confusion: Automatically places you in the most contextually relevant session

Troubleshooting the Current Session login flow
"I'm in the wrong session"
If you find yourself in an unexpected session:
Verify your system date and time are correct
Check if there are PI Planning Events scheduled for the current week
Manually navigate to your preferred session if needed
"No current session found"
This may occur if:
All relevant PI Sessions are archived
No active sessions match the current date criteria
You may need to create a new PI Session or contact your administrator
Manual Session Selection Override
You can always override the automatic selection by:
Using the session selector in the main navigation
Browsing available active sessions
Switching between sessions as needed during your planning and execution activities
