If you coordinate events, volunteers, fundraisers and other gatherings, you know you need more than a “one size fit all” plan. That’s why SignUpGenius is making your sign ups more flexible than ever by introducing a new “Hide Number Wanted” option for sign up creators with Silver and above account subscriptions. 

This feature removes the display of the maximum quantity requested on sign up slots. This is particularly helpful when you have an open-ended need, such as a fundraiser with unlimited donation opportunities or an unlimited number of spots available for an online class.

Instead of the typical way of using sign ups, where the number of available slots is visible, the ability to hide slot quantities ensures that participants only see the number of people who have already signed up. This helps to create a sense of urgency and exclusivity, encouraging potential eventgoers to sign up while making sure the overall capacity remains confidential.

To use this feature, go to your sign up and click on the Slots tab.

Navigate to the slot you want to edit and click the pencil icon. Under the Title and Help Comment fields, you will find a box to enter the number of people wanted for each slot. Directly below, you can click the box to hide that number.

This feature can be used for any occasion, but is especially helpful for:

  • Donation and fundraising sign ups where a goal is unlimited
  • Event registrations without a set number of attendees desired
  • Volunteer opportunities where all are welcome

Want to see the difference for yourself? Check out this sign up before:

If you already have a premium plan, give this feature a try!

For customers using our free plan, upgrade to Silver or Gold and unlock powerful features to make your sign ups even more efficient! For a limited time, you can even snag your first year of a Silver annual plan for just $99 through 4/26/24!

I just wanted to say thank you to the SignUpGenius team for such a fabulous website. I have been organizing a Christmas giving event at my office for almost 15 years. When I first started, I printed off "angels" and typed in wish lists for each kid and mom to be adopted for Christmas gift. ... Last year, I used SignUpGenius for the first time for my event. It has made a significant impact on organizing this event, saving me hours and hours of time. Plus, it allowed me to easily distribute information about the event. It has taken away much of the stress of coordinating this event, and I am able to reflect more on why I do this rather than stress over the details.
