After implementing limits for registration types in 5.1. we plan to add limits for individual registration options as well. Please see our current progress by link below:

You can always track our current progress in Roadmap http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Product+roadmap . Feel free to post your comments/ideas in current thread.

Also, a quick question: will the wait list work with the limits on the individual registration options, or will it only work for the overall event maximum registrants?

This will be huge for us -- so glad to see it's coming soon! Thank you!

I just came out to the user forum to see if this feature had already been discussed. We need this, too! We will be using custom fields for most of our most important events, and we need to be able to limit the quantities of each custom field/choice. Is this on the roadmap?

It did not fit into 5.2, current plan is to put into next (5.3) release.

Hi, I'm an admin of a 'community' Wild Apricot account.

Looking at the roadmap https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ag85LjmBFf3OdFJCNEczaWR5MVlNTk9GTnM0b2FQUGc&output=html , it doesn't seem like this is going to make it in 5.2. Hope it does though, or soon after.

I'd like this feature and I'll give you a couple examples of how I'd use it and why I'd need it:

1 - For a dance competition, to limit entries to a certain category (because of time constraints) that is chosen on the event registration form to maximum of 10 or whatever the limit we set is. So that one I'd probably use the "Radio Buttons with extra cost" type and would want to limit it. I'd use the cost to add $15 or whatever to the total.

2 - For volunteer signups either on the event registration itself or on a separate 'volunteer signup' event. Eg, For a sporting event with 50 volunteers needed for different shifts I would probably use the "multiple choice" type. Eg, need 2 people for setup, 2 for selling tickets, 4 for the concession stand, etc). If this feature was just limited to the "extra cost" options, that would be ok because you can set the cost to $0 (It would be nice if "$0" wasn't shown on the signup page though).

Thanks,

Greg

Next year.

It's been designed already, just sitting in the queue and waiting for 5.0 release, then our developers will start working on it.

Any update on when this feature may be added?

I'd like to also suggest that there should be some way that isn't just linking to the registration type, but rather to "side" events, which we currently manage quite well as "Multiple choice with extra cost" options.

Here's the scenario: we host an annual conference, and we have several different types of registration (member, non-member, student, etc.).

But each of those registration types can mark on the form whether they want to sign up for a continuing education (CE) class for an additional cost. The issue is that these CE classes have limited seats due to room space.

So I'm not sure how to do that, but it needs to be something separate from the registration type, because that would just make us have to have a huge registration type list for every combination of type and CE choice.

Thanks for considering!

We are pre-selling t-shirts for our event, but need to have them ordered in advance of the event so we know how many shirts to order. Right now there is no way to have the add-on item go away after a pre-determined rate. This should be an easy fix as we can already change available rates after a specified date.

Sorry for that - we understand the usefulness of this feature, but we are just doing some other important things right now. Anyway, this one is very high in our priority list but still in a wait queue.

This has been on the wishlist for about 4 years now - is it scheduled for a release yet? This would be very handy indeed for anyone that has events with limited permium seating, or are trying to limit concession tickets, or whatever. It doesnt seem to be that complex...

I am a Partner and have found this to be an obstacle for my/our clients on multiple occasions.

Having this capability makes it possible to have everything covered in one registration for an attendee at a conference where there are several Registration Types in which any attendee can also sign up for a variety of workshops which have a limit on the number of people a room will hold.

It would be a very beneficial capability and I sincerely hope the priority on it will be moved up.

Thanks,

This is a very "hot" candidate but in any case will not be able to release it in March 2012

Would appreciate an update on this. Have an event in March 2012 and am sketching out the registration form and we have a session we need to limit. Thanks

We also would really like to see this feature implemented.

We run bus trips, and are limited by the number of seats available. We also allow people to meet us at the event and pay just for that, and would like to enable them to register/pay on line for that without creating a new event or modifying the event limits based on bus capacity.

It could also be used to enable a wait list registration type within an event with a limit to the attendee number.

Could be a really useful feature from our perspective.

Our organization holds a large annual conference which has a number of components. We'd like a feature that enables us to cap the number registrants that can sign up for these, e.g. tours, shuttles, etc.

Our group would really like this functionality. We run 8 events a year, most with a tour attached. The tour is usually limited to fewer people than the max cap for the main part of the Event.

Hope this change happens soon!

We're still very much looking forward to this wish list item being implemented!

Would like to be able to limit registration to one or more of the activities at an event (know how to limit overall event registration). But what about a session or tour that has limited space? Right now the only thing I see being able to do is to note the limited availability on the activity description and watch sign-up and once the liit is reached, either delete the activity button (not sure if this will delete those who have already signed up) or change the text to reflect that the activity is closed.
