The 
Insert Guest window allows you to enter details for a single guest. To display this window select Insert>Single Guest or the equivalent Insert tool bar button.
Note A single guest is created as the only member of their own group. To add a guest to an existing group select add to existing in the Group tab.
Guest
Check Anon if you don't know the name of the guest.
Title is the guest's title. You can type the title or select it from existing choices in the drop-down list. Once you have typed it in once, it will be available to select next time you create a guest in this plan. Common titles can also be configured in the 
Preferences window.
First name(s) is the guest's first (given) name(s). You can also record middle names or initials, if you wish.
Last name(s) is the guest's last (family) name(s).
Suffix can be used for anything that appears after the guest's name, such as a: job title (e.g. 'Director of sales'), role (e.g. 'Master of ceremonies'), qualification (e.g. 'BSc') or post-nominal title (e.g. 'OBE'). Common suffixes can also be configured in the Preferences window.
Note The Title, First name, Last name and Suffix will be automatically capitalised (e.g. mr john smith converted to Mr John Smith) if you have checked automatically capitalise new guest names in the Names tab of the Preferences window.
Display name is the name in the format you want to display it, e.g. Mr John Smith Phd, Master of Ceremonies. PerfectTablePlan sets a default display name from the Title, First name, Last name and Suffix (according to the Default display name format field in the Names tab of the Preferences window), but you can change this at any time. You can also use HTML tags to control the appearance of the guest Display name field. See names and titles for more details.
Gender is the gender of the guest. This can be useful information when assigning seats. The automatic assignment will endeavour to alternate men and women where it can (unless you have disabled this in the Preferences window). PerfectTablePlan will try to guess the gender from the Title where it can, but you can change this at any time.
Age is the age of the guest: adult or child. Typically a child is anyone under the age of 16. This can be useful information when assigning seats. PerfectTablePlan will try to set the age from the Title where it can, but you can change this at any time.
Meal is the meal choice for a guest. You can type the meal choice or select it from existing choices in the drop-down list. Once you have typed it in once, it will be available to select next time. If you have a choice of more than one course you should enter the courses separated by commas, e.g. soup,fish,flan, the 
Report pane will then show a total for each course separately.
Special req. is for any special requirements the guest has, for example: nut allergy, elderly or in a wheel chair. Once you have typed it in once, it will be available to select next time. If there is more than one special requirement they should be separated by commas, the Report pane will then total each separately.
