Multiple slots¶
In the Odoo Events app, users can create multiple time-slots for an event, giving attendees the flexibility to register for a specific time or session instead of the entire event. This feature also allows organizers to manage high-capacity events by spreading out attendees across multiple slots.
Configuration¶
To create slots for an event, the feature must be enabled on an event form. To do this, open the Events app, then navigate to an existing event or create a new one.
On the event form, select the Multiple Slots checkbox. A # Slot(s) link appears next to the field, displaying the total number of slots for the event.
Additionally, under the Tickets tab, a Maximum per slot column appears on event registration lines. This option allows the user to specify the maximum number of registrations allowed for a slot. If a slot reaches the maximum registration count, it is marked as Sold Out on the registration webpage.
Viewing slots¶
To access a dashboard of slots, click the # Slot(s) link next to the Multiple Slots checkbox on the event form. By default, this opens a (Calendar) view with clickable entries for valid event dates, allowing users to interactively create as well as delete or modify slots.
Alternatively, users can also see a list of all created slots via the (List) view.
Creating slots¶
To create slots in the calendar view, click on a calendar entry, or click and drag to select multiple entries. A # Selected appears at the top of the calendar, displaying the selected slots.
Then, click the Add button at the top of the calendar. On the resulting popover, select the start and end time of the slot. Next, specify the Timezone and an optional display Color for the slot.
Finally, click the Add button in the popover to create the slot, or click Discard to cancel.
To create a slot in the list view, click New. This creates a new line to configure slot options.
In the calendar popover, select the Date of the slot. Then, under the From and To columns, specify the respective start and end times. Optionally, select a display Color to represent the slot.
Finally, click Save to create the slot, or click Discard to cancel.
Warning
Odoo returns an error if the configured date and time of the slot is outside of the valid date range of the event.
Deleting and editing slots¶
To delete or modify a specific slot, click the specific slot item. Then, on the resulting popover, click View to modify the slot on a separate page. Or, to delete the record, click (Delete).
Alternatively, to delete all records for a particular date, click the corresponding calendar entry and click (Delete) at the top of the calendar.
Existing slots can be directly modified in the list view by clicking on its details and making the desired edits.
To delete a specific slot, click the checkbox next to the desired slot. Or, to delete all records, click the checkbox next to the Date column. Then, click the Actions button and select Delete.
Registering for slots as an attendee¶
The process of registering for a slot as an attendee is similar to registering for regular events via the Website app.
To register, visitors on the website navigate to the desired event. Next, they click the Register button to open a Slots pop-up window. Then, they select their desired slot and click Next.
After confirming their selection, visitors follow the rest of the ticket registration process, including choosing their desired tickets, entering their contact information, and finalizing their payment.
Note
Visitors are not able to see or register for any slots ending before the time of registration.
