This feature enables organizers to lock the activity cart, allowing participants to view available activities without being able to register for them. It’s an ideal way to showcase upcoming activities or provide a preview of options before registrations officially open, or to prevent participants from updating their registration for activities after a deadline.
Example Use Case
An event planner is organizing a conference where activity registrations will open at a later date. By setting the activity cart to read-only, participants can explore workshops, panels, and networking sessions in advance. This builds anticipation and helps them plan their attendance, ensuring a smoother registration process when the activities are unlocked.
Locking the activity cart strikes a balance between early engagement and controlled registration workflows, keeping participants informed and excited about the event.
Step-by-step configuration
1. Open the form on which the activity cart was added
2. Click the activity cart section to open its settings
3. Check the box "Locked" to make the activity cart read only
4. Participants now won't be able to register for activities or update their registrations.
