Current behavior:
Automatic cap of event registrations is currently set for the whole event only.

Desired behavior:
Many people use custom event fields to handle registrations for specific sessions within large events. What's needed is the ability to specify for each option in such fields that it should be limited to certain number of people. Once the limit is reached, option should become unavailable.
An example:
Which extra sessions you want to attend?
[] Golf $150 - Max 30
[] strip club $100 - <No Max>
[] History museum $20 - Max 50

Hello wonderful aricot team,

I would like to have the ability within a single event, to select some types for a limited number of registration and other types for  an unlimited number of registrations.... For example.  If I am teaching a class  I would like to have 7 participants and unlimited auditors for a single event.  Currently I have to make a separate event for auditors than I do for participants - it can be confusing for those trying to register.  Currently, I only have the ability to limit the total # of registrations per event.  Do you think this problem is resolvable?  How long do you think it will take to change this?  Let me know if you need more information.  Thanks again...

 

Thanks! I moved your post here - this is one of things on our roadmap - see above. No timeline defined yet.

Hello Apricot,

Just wondering where you were on this issue or if you have made any advancements?  The desired behavior you have listed above would be exactly what is needed.  Have you tried to make this a functional part of your program yet?  Thanks again!

 

 

Unfortunately it will be a while before we get to this - quite a few other items in the development pipeline which are prioritized higher.

I'd love to see this fixed. Making separate events for each price is going to create all sorts of issues. Thanks.

Eric

Until this has a set solution and release date, it will be moved to the wishlist.

This would be very helpful as our organization offers a 3-day event, with member and nonmember rates, early registration discounts, and with multiple class time frames each day, and different options at each timeframe--but the classroom sizes are limited.  Having a separate registration type for each option is not user-friendly when it means there are over 16000 possible combinations.  It means that despite Wild Apricot being our software of choice, we cannot use it for this and must go with a different company that can limit choices, at least for our events.  Being able to cap each option is the single thing that would allow us to use Wild Apricot for our events as well.

I agree with the other posts.  Having the ability to set registrant limits for specific functions/sessions within a conference would be very useful.
