How do I add a student to the waitlist?

When the day is full, put the student on the waitlist. An admin reviews each entry and offers a final assignment when a slot opens.

Steps

  1. Open Scheduling → Waitlist and click Add to Waitlist.
  2. Fill in the entry on the Join Waitlist form:
    • Location (required)
    • Booking Type (required)
    • Preferred Date (required)
    • Start Time / End Time (default 08:00–10:00)
    • Flexibility (minutes) — how many minutes before/after the preferred time would still work (default 30)
    • Preferred aircraft — or Any aircraft; an admin may change it
    • Preferred instructor — or No preference; an admin may change it
    • Student (admins choosing on a student's behalf)
    • Notes for admin (optional)
  3. Click Join Waitlist.

If it won't add

A waitlist entry runs a safety pre-check. If something blocks it, you'll see Cannot join waitlist — fix these first: with the list of blocks. Clear those and try again.

To offer a slot to a waiting student, see [[scheduling-offer-a-waitlist-slot]].
