Hi Jennifer and Loretta,
Glad to hear an Idea is already submitted for this! I did want to clarify that this is still in a consideration phase, not officially on the road map quite yet. Be sure to encourage other Cvent users to up-vote the Idea for our Product Team to have additional visibility into this need. :)
Best,
Danni

I completely agree Danni. I tried several workarounds and nothing quite worked the way it needed it to. Glad to hear they are working on it. Can't come soon enough!!!! Thanks for the reply.

Hi Jennifer,
The functionality in Flex is the same as described above. The Event Waitlist will be triggered by the event closing, which could be due to event capacity, the registration deadline, or a manual close. Then, you can control the waitlist functionality on the Registration Path-level. Based on how you described your use-case, it does not seem like this would be a clear solution since you only need the waitlist for the single Registration Type and other Registration Types may still not be at capacity. This can get a bit complex, so I would recommend working with your Account Team further to brainstorm.
I have heard from our Product Team that they are considering Registration Type-level waitlists as an enhancement in the future. I would also suggest submitting this as an idea in the Ideation section of the Community!
Best,
Danni

We are having this exact issue, is this the same answer for Flex? We want to limit the registration capacity for General Attendees but not for Vendors. We would like the waitlist to be activated for attendees but right now it only shows Closed for that particular registration type. How do we fix this in Flex?

Hello Michelle,
Great question! You can control where wait list is enabled through the registration settings in classic. That being said, if you need to control the wait list functionality for one registration type, you would need to create a new registration path and enable it only for the path with that one registration type. For further information on setup, please feel free to reach out to your account team or customer care.
Best,

Hi!
Within an event we typically have 3 registration types. Need to create a waitlist for only 1 registration type. Is there a way for this to be done without the event being at capacity or even capacity within that 1 registration type?
Thanks for the help in advance!
