Must know
  • Capacity Limit lives on the Requirements step. Leave it off for unlimited enrollment; turn it on to set a maximum.
  • Capacity can be entered by hand or derived automatically from the spaces you assign — using either the smallest space’s capacity or the combined total.
  • When a program is full, families see a waitlist if you’ve enabled one; turning a waitlist on is covered in the Waitlists hub.
On the Requirements step, switch on Capacity Limit and set the ceiling.

Enter a maximum

Type a number into Maximum Capacity — the most athletes who can enroll.

Or derive it from spaces

If you assigned spaces on the Schedule step, turn on Restrict by Space Capacity to pull the number from them. With more than one space, choose Use smallest space capacity or Use combined space capacity. The derived number fills in automatically and your manual entry can’t exceed it.
What happens when a program fills. Once enrollment reaches the cap, new registrations are blocked at checkout. If the program has a waitlist, families can join it instead; if not, staff can still add someone over capacity by confirming a prompt. Full and drop-in registrations share the same capacity count. Lowering capacity on a running program. If you set the cap below the number of athletes already enrolled, Uplifter asks you to confirm before saving. Those athletes keep their spots — lowering the cap never removes anyone — but no new registrations are accepted until enrollment drops back below the new limit. Application-based programs hide both the Requirements and Waitlist steps, so Capacity Limit (which lives on the Requirements step) and the waitlist settings don’t apply to them.
