How To Assign Seating

Selling Tickets with the option to Create a table when sold enabled will create a table with the ticket-holders from the purchase automatically seated. See  ∞ Tables And Tickets for more information.

How Did I Get Here?

From the main Auction Dashboard, click through Bidders and then Tables under the bidder dashboard's Actions sidebar menu to open the Tables dashboard and then click through the Assign Seating entry of its Actions sidebar menu.

The Tables section Show drop-down selector provides many pre-defined "Table Groups" filters and the option to select a specific table to work with.

Drag-N-Drop To Assign Seats

An Unseated Bidder can be seated using the standard "drag-n-drop" approach.

Drag-N-Drop To Change Seats

The Drag-N-Drop method of seating bidders can also move bidders between tables.

Clicking on the table will immediately seat the bidder in the first open slot for that specific table.

Select Bidders To Show

The Unseated Bidders list, by default, displays All bidders. You can use its drop-down selector to only work with Bidders with a ticket assigned as needed.

You can also click the "seat" icon at the far-right in the Unseated Bidder specific row and select from the available tables in the pop-up window.

Clicking on the X at the far right of a seated bidder will remove them from the table and return them to the Unseated Bidders pool.

There is no confirmation after clicking the X to remove a seated bidder; they will be removed immediately in these cases.
