A simple app for booth selection for conference events

ClayG · April 12

We have lots of conference events each year with vendors who exhibit at our conference. We have them pick a booth number from a list of maybe 50 potential booth locations.

I'm thinking of building a simple app for vendors to see a list of available booths and after they choose an available booth, that booth number becomes unavailable.

I don't think this will be hard but I thought I'd ask if anyone has already created an app like that?

Hi @ClayG! This seems to be a pretty simple app. Here's my suggestion:

create a table where you will put all the booth locations
create a table where the system will record who picked what booth
create a submission form where vendors will choose a booth and submit a record
vendors can choose a booth using a dropdown field which gets the options from the table where you put all booth locations

Now, the thing you need to do to make the booth unavailable when a vendor has already chosen it is to use triggered actions. Make the trigger delete the booth on the booth table after it has already been chosen. Here's a sample of the trigger
