The Event Options page (Plan > Configure > Options) allows you to configure Event settings and turn Modules on or off for each Event.
The majority of the Settings have been configured in Templates and on Account Settings. The Settings are based on the services you have purchased. A few Settings and Modules can be modified specifically for each Event. These Settings and Modules include Automatic Event Waitlisting, Custom Registration Properties, and Functional Areas.
Automatic Event Waitlisting
Automatic Event Waitlisting is an option that controls waitlisting behavior when Event Registration Capacity is set.
If an Event has an Event Registration Capacity, Registrants can be automatically waitlisted for the Event once it is full. If spaces become available, waitlisted Registrants can be registered automatically. Enabling Automatic Event Waitlisting allows Certain to automatically process waitlisted Registrations for the Event.
> NOTE: An event registration capacity must be set within Event Details before Event Waitlist Automation can be enabled.
Custom Registration Properties
Custom Registration Properties are flags that use Yes or No values to track whether particular actions have been performed on a Registration.
Custom Registration Properties enable tracking of whether particular actions have been performed on a Registration. Custom Registration Properties are displayed in the Registration Information section at the bottom of each Attendee's Profile page.
Example
