Participant Status Overview
PARTICIPANT STATUS provides a way to create and manage a variety of states for event participants. There is no limit to the types of participant status options you can define.
 | Reserved Options
The list of Participant Status Options includes two options that are "reserved" - Registered and Cancelled. You can not edit these options. Reserved is a database status set during installation. It is meant to prevent users from deleting or modifying various records that the database requires for processing operations. Options that you add are not "reserved" |
