How to Create a Wait List for an ILT Class

These instructions cover how to add a wait list to an existing ILT Class in the Titan Training Hub (TTH).

If you are creating an ILT class, please refer to the How to Create an ILT Class guide.

When an ILT class reaches maximum capacity, users who register for this class can get added to the wait list, depending on the class settings.

There are three wait list options for an ILT class:

  • None: There is no wait list. No user can register once the ILT class reaches capacity.
  • Standard: When a spot becomes available for registration, all users on the wait list are notified. Registration is done on a first-come, first-serve basis. No priority is given based on the date/time a user was added to the wait list.
  • Smart: When a spot becomes available for registration, users are notified in the order that they were added to the wait list (from first to last).

Users with TTH Admin Access may override wait list settings and register for a class even when it has reached maximum capacity. 

During the registration process, these users will see that there are no seats available, but they can still proceed with the registration. Their status will show as "Registered," not "Waiting List" under their Assigned Learning after registration is completed.

Highlights of smart waiting list fields

A. Date that the Smart waiting list will expire: 

Click the calendar icon to select a date 

After this date, a Smart wait list becomes a Standard wait list.

All users on a Standard wait list get notified when a spot becomes available, regardless of their order on the wait list.

B. Time that the Smart waiting list will expire: 

Click the box to set a time

After this time, on the selected date, a Smart wait list becomes a Standard wait list.

All users on a Standard wait list get notified when a spot becomes available, regardless of their order on the wait list.

C. Smart waiting list hold time (hours): Type in the number of hours to hold a seat for a user on the wait list who has been notified of an available spot.

After the specified number of hours, if a user declines an open spot or does not accept the open spot, the system notifies the next user on the wait list to offer them the open spot.

Smart Wait List Tips:

  • Set the Smart wait list to expire a few days or up to 1 week before the registration deadline or class start date to allow more registrations if spots open up last minute
  • Set list hold time to be longer than 48 hours to allow time for users to register once notified
  • Once notified, if the user on the wait list does not register within the allowed time frame, they will be removed from the wait list completely. They must register for the class again and start from the bottom of the wait list
