    First of all, Jot Form rocks. It is so easy to use and looks very professional!

    My question is this: I am using the form for people to register for events. I need to set limit on how many people can sign up for the event. How do I do that?

    A bonus would be for me to continue collecting registration info for people past that limit with a note that says "we are booked but I will call you if there is a cancellation" Is that possible? If so, how do I do that?

    That's possible. Here's a guide for that: https://www.jotform.com/help/137-How-to-Limit-Submissions-in-a-Form

    After following this guide, on the same tab, you'll see the Warning Message where you can put your message like the one you mentioned above.

    Not sure if I can reply to this email...Thank you, that is very helpful. The only thing is that I have the form set up so that they can choose what date on the form. I need the limitation set per date.For example, I only have space for 10 participants on each date. How would I go about it this way?

    Perhaps you can use the following widgets instead:

    https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/ticket_purchases

    https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/inventory

    https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/quantity_gift_registry 

    https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/gift_registry 

     

    Here's an example form using the Inventory widget: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/52575015429961.

    I see the dates as the product options, users then can purchase some kind of ticket or booking on that specific items with a date on it, the items have a quantity limit on it.

    I hope that helps.
