VDU Chart pane

Top  Previous  Next

The monitor_16VDU Chart pane shows a scrolling list of guest seat assignments. It is possible to show this pane in full screen mode. This can be very useful for displaying on a VDU or plasma screen at venue. But we strongly recommend you test this before an event to ensure that you your hardware/software is compatible with the screen and you have the correct cable.

It is not possible to change the plan from this pane.

Change the Columns to change the number of columns of guest information displayed.

Change the Text percentage to change the percentage of the space occupied by scrolling text. The remainder will display the floor plan. Set it to 100% to hide the floor plan.
