Table properties window

The Table properties window allows you to show/edit table properties. To display this window select a single table in the Floor plan , Table plan or Schematic panes and select Edit| Properties or the equivalent Main tool bar button.

Name is the name of the table. The name doesn't have to be unique and can be blank.

Shape is the shape of the table. The types of table are:

Table	Icon	Meaning
Circular		a circular tables with seats all around it
Rectangular		a rectangular or square table with seats on four sides
Head		a long table with seats on only one side, for example a head table at a wedding
Custom		a rectangular or square table with potentially different numbers of seats on each of the 4 sides

Angle is the angle of the table in degrees.

Seats is the number of seats. For a circular or head table you specify the total number of seats. 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 table with seats down two sides only (e.g. a banqueting or trestle table) create a rectangular table and set the number of seats across or down to 0. 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 pane.

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

Notes can be used to store any relevant notes for the table, e.g. details of table decorations.

Click OK to accept the changes and close the window. Click Cancel to discard the changes.
