# Create Wait List

## Enable the waiting list automatically when a session reaches maximum capacity.

When setting up an event, click on the session name:

1\) Ensure that under the Basic Information tab, you have specified the Maximum Capacity.

2\) Navigate to the "Waiting List" tab and confirm that the option "Open Waiting List When Full" is enabled.

3\) As participants join the waiting list, you will see it displayed on your Dashboard alongside the session name. As the director, you have the ability to manually invite participants from the waiting list. They will receive an email notification and can then proceed to register for the camp. If you prefer, you have the option to set an expiration date for the invitation.
