The seating plan moves into the browser

The seating plan is where all the work on the invitations shows. Until now, in many offices, it was an A3 sheet redrawn after every confirmation.

Drawing the hall

From June the seating plan is built in the browser: rows and seats, numbered in a straight line or alternating to the right and left of the place of honour, as protocol requires. You add rows and columns, mark the seats that must not be assigned, and add notes to individual seats. A hall drawn once is saved as a template and reused for the next ceremony.

Filling and adjusting

One command fills the plan according to the guests’ order of precedence. Then you adjust by hand: drag a person to another seat, swap two seats, lock anyone who must not move. An accompanying guest follows the person they came with when you move them. A search shows you at once where a guest is sitting.

Printing

The plan produces place cards and seating lists as PDF, including the list for the ushers who greet guests in the hall, and an Excel file identical to what you see on screen, empty seats included.
