# Set contingents *Contingents* for individual program items or for the entire conference are **stored in answers**. Depending on whether these are linked [directly or indirectly](https://manual.converia.de/en/attendees/setting-up-the-registration/create-the-offer-overview/questions-and-answers), there are various options in the backend: * For **directly linked answers**, the contingents are stored in the [answer management](https://manual.converia.de/en/attendees/setting-up-the-registration/create-the-offer-overview/set-contingents/set-contingents-for-offers). Answers that serve as counters can be linked in several offers, i.e. [contingents are possible across offers](https://manual.converia.de/en/attendees/setting-up-the-registration/create-the-offer-overview/set-contingents/deposit-total-contingents-across-all-offers). * For **indirectly linked answers**, the contingents can be entered [directly in the offer wizard](https://manual.converia.de/teilnehmende/die-anmeldung-einrichten/die-angebotsubersicht-anlegen/kontingente-festlegen/kontingente-fur-buchungsoptionen-antworten-innerhalb-von-angeboten-festlegen). It is also possible to color-code availabilities in the offer overview in the frontend. The answer option can be available for selection in several packages in the frontend as part of a question, so that a contingent can also be counted for several offers. {% hint style="success" %} Contingents can be **changed or added at any time.** {% endhint %} If a **contingent is exhausted**, the offer or answer can no longer be selected in the frontend (Fig. 1) and is displayed as fully booked. Availability is displayed for [manual bookings in the backend](https://manual.converia.de/en/attendees/manage-persons-and-attendees/managing-bookings-and-invoices/create-new-bookings), but it is also possible to select fully booked offers.
