Wait lists

Wait lists allow clients to wait for an available spot in fully booked Classes or Events. If a client cancels their booked Class or Event, the spot is opened to the client who has been on the wait list the longest. You can view the wait list for a Class or Event from the attendance list.

Default wait list settings can be configured under business policies or customized per Class or Event with custom business policies.

To promote a client from a wait list even when there are no available spots, see Manually promoting a client from a wait list.
