Choice Availability allows you to specify a quantity for each choice within your choice fields. As the user makes their selection, the quantity of that choice dynamically decreases, ensuring the selection aligns with your defined availability. This is essential in scenarios where the availability needs to be tracked and managed in real time, such as registering for webinars or workshops.
Let's say you have a workshop registration form, and you need to add a new workshop name and seat availability, or increase the availability of an existing workshop.
Feature Restrictions
Duplication
- When duplicating the form, its Choice Availability configuration is also copied. However, upon duplicating the fields and pages, the fields will be copied but not the Choice Availability configuration.
- Copying forms between organizations is allowed. But if the destination organization has a less comprehensive plan than the originating organization, the form will not be accessible to users due to plan limitation. This can occur, if the form's Choice Availability limit exceeds what the destination plan supports.
Edit Behaviour
- Fields with Choice Availability enabled will be disabled for editing in All Entries, Edit Response, Tasks, Reports, and Approvals.
Plan Restrictions
Free Plan:
- A maximum of one field per form can have Choice Availability configured.
- Form containing field with Choice Availability are limited to 50 submissions per form.
All submissions count towards the form's limit, even if records are deleted. For example, if your form hits 50 submissions and you delete one, the form remains closed, as the count is exhausted.Paid Plans:
- Up to three fields per form can have Choice Availability configured.
- Submission limits are based on the specific details of your plan.
Note:
- If the form reaches its submission limit (based on the plan), the form will be closed automatically.
- If you are on a paid plan and have configured Choice Availability on more than one field, and then downgrade to the free plan, the form will be closed due to the free plan's limitation of only one such field.
Save & Resume
Saving a choice in a Save & Resume scenario only validates its availability at that moment; it does not book that choice. The actual booking occurs upon final submission of the form. If the availability for a saved choice has been depleted by the time an user resumes, it will not be booked.
Behaviour with Payment Field
When a payment field is included in a form with Choice Availability, the following happens:
Temporary Hold: The selected choices are held until the payment process concludes.
Successful Payment: Upon successful payment, the selected choices are marked as booked.
If you have configured workflow, it will be triggered only when both the payment is successful and the selected choices are available. If the chosen option is not available at the time of payment success, then the workflow will not be triggered.
Failed Payment: If the payment fails, the held choices are released immediately without any buffer time, making them available for other users.
Payment Retry: If the user retries payment and it succeeds, the availability of the selected choices is checked,
