It would be better if we could specify a start time. Our members dislike having to stay up until midnight to register for an Event. We are a kayak club and many of our events fill up fast.

Having a time, as well as a date would be helpful

A a start time would make it much easier for us to manage our events on WA. I hope this feature is added soon.

I need to be able to set the times when I need them, not at midnight. Date and time should be set as needed. To set the time manually the day of registration is not practical.

Definite need for date AND time.

I also agree that setting a time such as 10am is a good idea. Unfortunately, the event will probably fill up within a couple of hours anyway. I know of several people who became disillusioned with the current sysem.

Having both a time as well as the date would be very beneficial to both the event creator and the registrants , especially for events with limited slots for registration. There should be a level playing field for everyone. Sherry

Having a TIME as well as a DATE is very important when there is a large membership and a limited number of slots for an event.

Agree we need to be able to set the TIME when registration opens because our events tend to sell out within 2 hours of opening. This means savvy members have figured out that if they try after midnight they can register. Our goal is to support all of our, so a 10AM opening would work much better. Leaving the event disable and trying to remember to manually open it at 10am is not practical.

This is really necessary! Admins are not always available to control when to end event registrations.

I think a good way to go about is allow users to optionally enter a registration start date and time. (If start field is blank, it will start immediately after registration is enabled)

For automatic end registration, allow them to choose radio button and enter one of the following:
A) Enter exact end registration date and time (ie end registration at September 27th, 2017 5:00 pm)
B) Enter relative end registration date and time (ie end registration 2 hours before event starts)

-End registration date/time should over ride all other Registration Type end date settings, but start date/time should be over-ridden by Registration Type for early bird registrations.
-End registration date and time cannot be after event date and time

We are the clients that Gail refers to in her comments. A bigger issue is events that are enabled but don't actually open at 12 midnight leaving frustrated users who have stayed up late just to sign up but then give up. I will try to find a better place to put this issue.

We have clients that use Wild Apricot that would greatly benefit from this. They have events that sell out quickly. Currently there are members that are staying up past midnight to register in these popular events that do sell out. It would be great to be able to set a specific time to open registration. Thank you!

Currently the registration start time we set for an event is ignored. If the date is Sept. 1st for example, members can begin registering at 12:01 am on Sept. 1 instead of the 9:00 am we entered. This is an issue for members who don't want to stay up late in order to register before the event is sold out.

Yes to all but particularly registration END time, like 5:00pm so that a list of attendees can be produced before the beginning of the event the next morning.

Another vote for a start time for event registration.

Would like this too. Prefer having the option to specify both opening and closing times.

On the registration type settings per event, I love the option to set an opening and closing day for registration, but would it be possible to set an opening time of say 2PM or 8PM or whatever, rather than midnight? Just the opening time matters for me, closing at midnight on the last day is fine.

There are some events (dance competitions) where people try to get their entry in first to be able to dance last (reverse order of entry), and so we do get about 1/3rd of our registrations in the first 30 minutes. The way it is now I leave registration disabled and then enable it manually at a certain time, but I'd love to have it happen automatically so I don't need to be at the computer every time an event opens.

Thanks,

Greg

PS - lower priority for me than these other two wishlist features:

Wild apricot users - if you want this feature too, please comment! :)

Thanks for comments!

We would also like to have this feature.

Our organization meets weekly for a luncheon, so we have to know as close as possible how many people are coming so we can order the correct number of meals from our caterer. We put on the registration form that registrations are due by noon on the day before the luncheon. Invariably people will register after we have already notified the caterer how many meals to prepare.

We have started having someone go in each week at exactly noon the day before the even and manually disable registration, but I think it would be more reliable if it was automated.
