Assigning Guest Placement for your Event
Events have different ways of organizing guests. The most common way is seating at a Table. However, golf tournaments often want to track guests based on their Cart assignment, Bowling events in a “lane”, and concerts in a “Section”.
In order to accommodate all of those scenarios, Handbid treats placement as a generic term. However, you as the auction / event host can apply a label to your placement (e.g. Table, Golf Cart or Bowling Lane). When you set a Label to the Placement, it will appear wherever the “placement” value is used.
When you assign a placement label it will update the placement column in your guest list so you can easily see the correlating placement label when checking a guest.
For example: in the guest list, the column will now read “Table” if you set the placement label to “Table”
To set the placement label, go to your event settings > INFO tab. There you will find the placement label setting.
Then, you need to assign your guests to their placement. This is quick and easy to do!
- Select the squares next to the people who should sit at the same table.
- Click Bulk Actions- Edit Guests
- Assign your guest to their table/ bay/ cart by clicking the square next to that choice and putting their assigned table in the open response box. NOTE- you can use numbers or letters here. There is no restriction.
- Click Edit and go back to your guest list.
