Hi All CalTech’s Carpentry Team uses the LibCal app in the Springshare Suite to set up Carpentry workshop events, handle registrations, manage a waitlist, auto-email communications to confirm registration, notify waitlistees they are in, send event reminders, and even survey attendees (should we not use the Carpentry survey, eg for non-DC/SWC workshops). We have not set it up with a payment module because our programs tend to be for specific groups who pay a lump sum fee (eg, Grad student council, Postdoc association, an Academic dept).
Most academic libraries license the SpringShare suite so this use likely is already covered — another joy of partnering with the Library! 🤓 Gail Sent from a tablet while on the go.

This seems like a somewhat critical feature… Pat On Jan 24, 2018, at 3:58 PM, Madeleine Bonsma <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Pat, As far as I know, even if the number of tickets you've sold falls below the original cap, as long as there are people on the waitlist then a new person coming to the page can't buy a ticket directly, they'll have to join the waitlist. I don't think it can happen that new tickets can get bought by people circumventing the waitlist. That's part one, but for part two, as Amy said, I don't think there's a way to avoid having to manually release tickets from the waitlist. Madeleine On Wed, Jan 24, 2018 at 3:02 PM, Amy E.

I’m pretty sure that in the past I have had to manually email people to have them claim the ticket. It’s not ideal, and I have not figured out a way to change that. If there is a way, I’d also love to know about it! ~ Amy Amy E.

Say we have a workshop set up and we create 30 tickets. Those sell out and we then get a waitlist. Feeling ambitious, we create an additional 15 tickets. Alternatively, one of the people that got a ticket returns their ticket. In both cases, we noticed that people on the waitlist are not automatically contacted to take the available ticket - they have to be invited manually. In the mean time, someone else could come in and take an open seat even though there might be 30 people on the wait list. Is there a setting we’re missing or does anyone have a work around?
