Administrators: Section Management - Managing the Waitlist

Description:


When learners register for courses that have reached capacity, they are placed on a waitlist.  In CACWT, administrators have had difficulty managing that waitlist, due to  visibility.  This section shows how a new Waiting List  menu option can be used to actively view and manage the list. 


Instructions:


1. From the sidebar of your CACWT dashboard, select Sections and click on Sections from the drop-down menu that opens.

Waiting List

  • Upon viewing the Waiting List option, a number appears highlighting the number of learners that are currently on the waitlist of the course. If no number appears, it means that the course is not at capacity.

  • Clicking on the menu item, gives the list of learners on the waiting list, as shown below. From there, the administrator can perform two actions:

    • Enroll - Enroll selected learners into the desired course. This only applies if capacity is available. Forced enrollment will not be done here.

    • Remove by Request - Remove Selected Learners from Waitlist.
