  • 1.  Close registration for some registration types, but not others

    Posted 04-07-2022 09:17
    I am hosting a hybrid event. Registration has closed for in person attendees. I would like to keep registration open for virtual attendees. Is there a way to keep registration open for a certain reg. type, but closed for others?

    thanks!

    Hi Amanda,

    Usually we manage that through the capacities set for the registration types, but it looks like there might be two options:

    Option 1: In the side menu under General > Registration Types, there's a column for Capacity and a column for Registered beside each Registration Type > Go to the Name column > click on the Registration Type you want to close > click Edit > under Basic Settings, change the Capacity field to a number that's lower than the number in the Registered column for that Registration Type > SAVE

    This option works well if you want people to see if a new spot has become available when another attendee cancels.

    Option 2: In the side menu under General > Registration Types > Go to the Name column > click on the Registration Type you want to close > click Edit > under Basic Settings, switch Open for Registration option from 'Yes' to 'No' > SAVE

    I think this option would work better if you want registration for in-person attendees to stay closed even if some of your registered attendees drop out.

    I hope that helps!
