Waiting list

You can provide your participants with an option to register for a waiting list seat. As soon as a free seat becomes available, a participant can be moved from waiting list to the list of confirmed participants. In case your offer is fully booked, you have the option to notify participants on a waiting list of an additional or replacement offer.

Waiting list can be enabled on standard registration type only. For offers that provide free choice of lessons a waiting list cannot be maintained.

When is a waiting list entry created?

Once a person is on a list of confirmed participants they cannot be moved back onto waiting list!

Enable waiting list

Option Waiting list can be enabled on any offer using standard registration type.

Allow waiting list or not

Status closed

An offer is in closed status, option to allow waiting list is active.

(In case an offer is fully booked or past registration deadline, edoobox moves the entry automatically to status closed. Or you might have closed an offer manually for whatsoever reason.)

 

 

Status cancel

When cancelling an offer (move offer to status cancel), all registered participants will receive a cancelation e-mail and will be moved to waiting list.

Where a waiting list may be used also:

MustPay-bookings create a waiting list entry depending on payment status of a participant. Once a payment is made through one of the payment systems implemented in edoobox and a payment confirmation is received, a registered participant is automatically moved to the list of confirmed participants (given that free seats are still available at the time).
