Limit Attendance/Waitlist for Shared Sites - ChapterPRO Administrative Guide

If you are two sites sharing events and/or member directories, managing Limit Attendance/Waitlist events requires special attention.

The total attendance must be split between the two sites. How it is split is up to you. For example, an event where 100 is the limit, each site could assign a Limit Attendance as 50, or the split could be 75/25.

When either site hits their limit the event will close registration to new attendees only on that site.

If Site A reaches 50 attendees first, then that site will not allow any new attendees. If Waitlist is YES, then 'add to waitlist' is available. Site B can still accept attendees until they their limit of 50 is reached.

An event shared with another site will not carry the Limit Attendance or Waitlist settings and must be set after it is shared.
