Event Waitlist form section

Add an Event Waitlist section to a form if the event is set to process waitlisted registrations automatically.

For a quick overview of that feature, see Automatic Event Waitlisting.

For full details, see the Automatic Event Waitlisting Guide PDF.

What Happens?

When the event capacity has been reached, registrants see this form section, where they select a check box to join the waitlist.
Registrants must select the check box in order to continue.
If a space subsequently becomes available, the automatic process moves the registrant off the waitlist if they are at the top of the queue.
Registrants are notified by email, provided an email template has been selected on Event Options > Automatic Event Waitlisting.

Event Waitlist

Text Above Header

Text Above Header is the text shown above the header bar at the top of the Event Waitlist section. No default value.

Header Text

Header Text is the text shown on the header bar at the top of the Event Waitlist page. Default: "Event Waitlist"

Page HTML

Page HTML is an unlabeled text box in the middle of the setup page. Enter explanatory text for the user. There’s no default value.

Example: “This event has reached its registration capacity. Select the check box below to be automatically registered for the event should a space become available. If you are auto-registered, you’ll receive an email confirming your registration.”

To add dynamic data fields to the text:

Select a field in the drop-down list. Example: "Event Name"
Click Add to Page HTML

Enable Editor?

Enable Editor? is the option to edit the Page HTML in a WYSIWYG editor, with the usual controls for formatting it.

If cleared, you enter plain text, but that can include HTML tags.

Note: If the Enable CKeditor check box on Account Settings > Implementation > Security is cleared for the account, then there is no option to enable the editor; only the plain text box is shown.

Label

Label is the label of the check box the registrant must select to join the waitlist. Default: "Add to Waitlist"

Error Message

Error Message is the error message the registrant sees if they submit the page without selecting the check box. Default: "Please select Add to Waitlist option."
