When you have a multi-day event (up to 30 concurrent days), and allow attendees to select which days they'd like to attend, you may need to control the selection of day combinations. 

Example of requirements

  • 4 day event

  • No attendee category

  • Can book 1 day only

  • Can book 2 days only

  • Can book 3 days only

  • Can book all days

  • Cannot book non-concurrent days 

 Configuring day selection in your event

  1. Go to Setup > Event > Properties and set the dates for your 4 day event

  2. In the 'Options' panel, make your event "Paid"

  3. Click "Save"

  4. Go to Setup > Event > Registration and enable "Show day selection page"

  5. Go to Setup > Finance > Prices 

  6. 'Add' a new price for each of the day options available for this event

  7. Apply the following setting to each price you create:

  • 'Who it applies to' = "Attendee''

  • 'What it applies to' = "Day Package"

  • 'Enter price details' = If the event is free, a zero value price needs to be added

  • Add a 'Line item description' to inform attendee what they have booked in the basket page

  • In the 'Day Packages' panel, select "Specific Days'", then select the checkboxes for which days the prices you are setting up relates to. Refer to the table below:

Example of requirements - using attendee categories

  4. Go to Setup > Event > Registration and enable "Show day selection page"

  5. Go to Setup > Finance > Prices 

  6. 'Add' a new price for each of the day options available for this event

  7. You will need to apply the following selections in each price that you create:

  • 'Who it applies to' = "Attendee"

  • 'What it applies to' = "Day Package"

  • Select the checkbox 'Use Price by Attendee Category'. The page will refresh, then you will be able to apply the below price details for each category

  • Enter price details - If the event is free, a zero value price needs to be added e.g. 0.00
