Seats is the number of seats. For a circular or head table you specify the total number of seats. For a banquet table you specify the number of seats across. For a rectangular table you specify the number of seats across and the number of seats down. For a custom table you specify the number of seats on each of the 4 sides.

Note For a square table create a rectangular table and set the number of seats across and down the same. You can specify a table with no seats for a cake, gift or serving table - it will not be shown in the table_chart_16Table chart pane.

Size is the size of the table. Check the auto check box to automatically size the table according to the number of seats and the seat size (as set in the ruler_16Dimensions window). Uncheck the auto check box to set your own table size.

VIP is used to designate tables for VIPs to sit at. The automatic assignment will attempt to seat VIPs on VIP tables.

Notes can be used to store any relevant notes for the table, e.g. details of table decorations. Click on Stamp >> to add a time and date stamped comment to the top of the Notes.

Click on the nav_first_16 nav_prev_16 nav_next_16 nav_last_16 buttons to display the properties of the first, previous, next or last table. The tables are ordered in the same sequence as they are in the scematic_16Schematic pane.
