How do we close online registration for a weekend on a certain date or show there is limited availability?

There are two features in our community site to help you manage how the availability appears on the public website.

First, when logged into the community site, Weekends & Post Weekends > Weekends.  Once there, click to edit the weekend you wish to work with.


The two fields to focus on are "Registration Cutoff Date" and "# of days prior of event to remove this weekend from the Program."

Registration Cutoff Date:
If you leave this BLANK, couples will see text similar to the following when looking at the weekend details for your weekend:

In other words, it will always say space is available, but limited.

But if you put  ANY text in the Registration cutoff date field, a line titled "Registration Ends" will be added to the weekend details.  Something similar to the following will show:

Note that the text in "Availability" now changes to read "Please Contact Community to see if there is availability after the End Date listed above," and whatever you entered in the "Registration Cutoff Date" is displayed in the "Registration Ends" line.

# of days prior of event to remove this weekend from the Program
This field has a dropdown that allows you to select a number.   If you leave this value to the default of "0", Your weekend will show until the day before it begins.  If you change this to a different value, the weekend will stop being visible on the public website based on the number of days you select.  So if you select "10", the weekend will disappear from public view 10 days prior to the weekend.
