Note: If you have a single group of people you are asking to volunteer for spots at a one-time event, the RSVP feature is likely your best option because it lets people choose a role and/or accept or decline. Learn more about RSVP Invites here.
Using the Spots feature will help you gather needed supplies for mission projects, get the right balance of food categories for potlucks, or handle other types of registrations that require limiting the number needed for each response.
Go to Groups & Events > Settings > Registration Fields.
- Click the New Attribute button.
- Select "Dropdown" for the field type, then give it a name and description. Click save.
- On the next page, enter the Menu Choices (the drop-down list options), and in the Registration Limit column to set a limit on the number needed.
- When saved, the field looks like this. Note the Registration Limit column.
- Add this registration field to the registration form through the Registration Settings for that group. You can edit the form fields/questions in Section 3 - Form Questions.
- When someone tries to register, they will see the number still available from the question drop-down. Note that there is no longer a need for Ushers in this example.
