Setup your schedule, start and end dates, recurrence, start and end time..etc.
Fill out registration capacity as follows:
Capacity, can be setup by member or by pew. Participants won’t be able to checkin when the service reaches its capacity. Always set it high if capacity is not of a concern.
Limit per household, restricts the maximum number of household members who can register for this event. Some time this is helpful during Pandemic time when you would like to limit each household to maximum one pew.
Number of active events, helps when this service is recurrent, and will dictate how many events should show at a time on the calendar. For example, if you setup the Liturgy service’s to 4, and the Liturgy occurs every Sunday, only 4 Sundays will show on the calendar. As and when a Sunday elapses, a new event for the Liturgy will get automatically generated and show on the Calendar.
Blocked Spots, are reserved seats which can be assigned manually by the admin (or event organizer) at any time. This is helpful when the service is only available by registration, and there is a high demand, sometimes the Priest would appreciate having some available seats for manual assignment for unforeseen circumstances. Click here to learn how to manually assign people to those reserved seats.
RSVP is helpful when you would like to define a deadline for RSVP. You can set it up by minutes, hours or days before event start time.
