Managing Event Waitlist
Prerequisites for Managing Event Waitlist
Use the Manage Waitlist screen to manage multiple waitlisted bookings for the same space.
The Waitlisted Events panel displays waitlist events. The confirmed event allocated to the function space is detailed in the Current Events panel on the right side of the screen.
Waitlisted events are grouped together by date and function space, then sequenced by priority on waitlist.
Note:
Sub-events inherit the status of the parent event if they are in the same space as the parent.OPERA Cloud generates an activity when an event has cleared the waitlist, that is, the assigned function space has become available for the event date. The Waitlist Activity Type OPERA Control must be active.
