Waitlist - Auto Add Criteria

Rob Hill 5 years ago in Events / Programming updated by Danielle Clark 2 weeks ago 4

When the event is set to auto-register from waitlist, it would be good if you could provide us with a way to configure the order of acceptance criteria.  We are looking to give more equitable playing time in our organization.

Options would include: 

First on the list (default)

First on the list who hasn't reached their booking limits

For example:

People are limited to 1 booking per week and they game the system by registering for an event that is full first and then registering for an event with empty spots.  On the day of the event, we lift the advanced booking restrictions which means that someone who has already reached their booking limit could take priority over someone who hasn't had a chance to play yet.  

We would like to be able to configure the event waitlist to run some For loops to take the first person on the waitlist who hasn't had a chance to play this week over someone who has.

If we just as admins had the discretion to re-order people that would be ideal

It is an issue when a player is already registered for their maximum number of registrations and they are auto-registered from a wait list into additional events at the same time. 

We are having some issues with the set up of the waitlist as well.
1. Ideally - people are offered registration in the order they signed up but not auto charged. The system we are moving away from would auto send an email to the next person on the waitlist for a camp. You could set the specific amount of time they had to complete registration, then it would go to the next person. 
2. Also, another ideal setting is the ability to have a waitlist but not have space automatically offered. That would allow the admin to choose who to notify. That comes into play for us in several situations, including when a camper is next on the list but they have as sibling also on the waitlist. That allows admins of choose to over enroll to allow the siblings or skip to the next single registration.
