Hi

Is there a way to configure seminars so that if and when an event is cancelled users are automatically allowed to sign up to a different event?

I know you can set a seminar so that you can sign up as many times as you want, but I don't know if the above is at all possible


Many thanks

Victoria

Hey Victoria,

We don't have any functionality which is designed to cater for this eventuality, I guess because we wouldn't expect it to occur regularly for most users. You might be able to rig up something using dynamic audiences and dates - so maybe if a learner hasn't started a course by a certain date then they get enrolled in another, but I think it would probably be a lot less work just to make a manual intervention should the situation arise.

regards,

George.

Hi Victoria,

Just reading your question and although I can't help you, I think you may be able to help me if possible.

You mentioned in your post that you can set a seminar so that you can sign up as many times as you want, how do you do this because at the moment my company have courses set up but once a member of signs up and completes it they cannot be added on to the course again? So for example if they wanted a refresh a few months down the line I can't add them on to the course because it comes up with a warning that they have already enrolled.

Any help would be great I am new to the system and trying to get my head round it.

Kind regards

Kerry

Hi Kerry


If I'm honest I'm probably not the best to advise, as I'm new to it too and I find that I have to click lots of things until I get to what I need!


I have found this article which may be helpful for you if you look at the section Sign-up workflow

Good luck

Many thanks
