Guests pane

The Guests pane shows all the guests in the current plan as individuals.

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.

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 by name. E.g. if you type "jo" it will first try to find a guest with a name beginning with "jo" (e.g. John) and if it can't find one it will try to find a guest whose name contains "jo".

Click on any of the column headers (for example on Display name) to sort by that column.

Double click on a guest icon to edit their properties.

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

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

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. 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 guest icon and drag them to a seat or table in the Floor plan pane, Table plan or Schematic pane to assign them to a seat. Hold down the Shift key to also drag all the other members of their group.

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

Hint Use Ctrl+A/ +A to select everything in this pane.
