Configure Attendance

Configure Attendance

Attendance settings determine how participants are included in your program and activities. These settings control whether participants choose to attend or are automatically included.

Attendance Options

Each activity has an attendance setting:

• Ask – participants choose whether to attend
• All Attending – participants are automatically included

Choose the option that best matches how your program should work.

When to Use “Ask”

Use Ask when participants need to make a choice.

For example:

• Selecting sessions or workshops
• Choosing optional activities
• Indicating attendance preferences

Participants will see these activities during registration and can respond accordingly.

When to Use “All Attending”

Use All Attending when participation is required or automatic.

For example:

• Main program attendance
• Required sessions or meetings
• Internal coordination activities

Participants are included without needing to make a selection.

Linked Attendance

Some activities can be linked to overall program attendance.

• If a participant is attending the program, they are automatically included in linked activities
• These activities may not appear as separate choices during registration

This is useful for activities that apply to all attendees.

How Attendance Affects Registration

Attendance settings determine:

• What participants see during registration
• Whether they need to make selections
• How attendance is tracked in the system

Clear attendance configuration leads to a smoother registration experience.

Attendance and Capacity

If you set attendance to Ask, you can:

• Apply attendance limits
• Enable waitlists

These options help manage availability and demand.

Tips for Configuring Attendance

• Use Ask for optional or selectable activities
• Use All Attending for required participation
• Link activities when they should follow overall attendance
• Review your setup from the participant’s perspective
