Registration Limits

Print Friendly and PDF Follow
The rules for registrant limits are similar across all registration models (Form-Driven, Fee-Driven, Activity-Driven, Simple RSVP).  If an event registrant limit is reached, a user would no longer be able to register or add guests for the event and activities even if activity registrant limits have not been reached.   If the admin wants the activity limits to be enforced, then registrant limits should not be set for the overall event.
