Groups pane

The Groups pane shows all the guests in the current plan arranged in their groups.

Appearance

The icon shown for a guest is determined from the details you have entered about their gender and age.

Guests who have declined or cancelled are shown with strikethrough text. Guests who have not been assigned to seats are shown in bold. Guests who are locked are shown with underlined text.

The icon shown for a group is based on PerfectTablePlan's best guess at whether the group is a family, couple etc. The group icon is just a visual cue, it doesn't affect anything else.

Click on the button at the top of the pane to allow you to control which columns are displayed.

Actions

Type text in the Find field to select a guest or group by name. E.g. if you type "jo" it will first try to find a guest or group with a name beginning with "jo" (e.g. John) and if it can't find one it will try to find a guest or group whose name contains "jo".

Click on any of the column headers (for example on Display name) to sort by that column (guests can only be sorted within groups).

Double click on a group or guest icon to edit their properties.

Select more than one group or guest by using Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click/ +Click.

Right click or Ctrl+Click on a group or guest to display actions in a pop-up menu.

Select a group and then click on their Group name text to edit it 'in place'. Press the Enter key to confirm the change.

Select a guest and then click on their Display name, Title, First name, Last name or Meal text to edit it 'in place'. Press the Enter key to confirm the change.

Note The Notes field can only be edited from the Guest properties window.

Click on the Locked, VIP or RSVP column to change the locked/VIP/RSVP status of guests. Note that changing the RSVP status from Accepted may unassign them from their seat, depending on your settings in the Preferences window.

Left click on a group or guest icon and drag them to a seat or table in the Floor plan pane, Table plan pane or Schematic pane to assign them to a seat.

Drop a plan file onto this pane to open it. Drop a vCard, text or CSV file onto this pane to import it.

Drag a group or guest icon to another group to change their group membership.

Drag a guest from another PerfectTablePlan window to add them to the current plan.

Note Deleting a group deletes all the guests in it.
