import_proximity_w

Note:

Guests referenced during proximity import must already exist in the plan or be created during the import (i.e. have their own row).

Each cell in a Next to, Near to, Not next to or Not near to column can contain 0 or more guest Ids, guest display names, guest first + last names or group names. If there is more than 1, they need to be separated by commas (,).

When cross referencing proximities against guests PerfectTablePlan will match in the following order:

ocross reference=guest ID

ocross reference=guest display name

ocross reference=group name

oguest first and last name contained in cross reference

If no case sensitive match can be found, then case insensitive matches will be looked for.

If you set guest A 'next to' guest B, then guest B 'next to' guest A will be set automatically.

These proximities override the default proximity for members of a group.

If you have problems you can undo_16Edit>Undo the import and try again.
