Crew see their table or stall the moment they open the link

The Table field on each crew row has always fed the printable RSVP roll and the CSV export. What it never did was tell the crew member. A speaker, a sponsor rep, or an exhibitor opened their live link and saw the run of show, but not where they were placed. This batch closes that gap.

Whatever you’ve assigned (a table number, a seat, a stall, a booth, a zone) now shows in a badge at the very top of that crew member’s run of show. They open the link, and the first thing they see is where to go. No place card to hunt for, no email to dig out, no asking a planner at the door.

It is on by default, because most events want their people to know where they are placed.

Call it what your floor calls it

A gala seats people at tables. A market gives stallholders a pitch. A conference assigns exhibitor booths. A networking lunch groups people by zone. One field, so the badge reads in your venue’s own language.

On the event’s edit form there’s a Table / seat numbers section with a label box. It defaults to “Table”, but it’s free text: type “Stall holder”, “Booth”, “Group”, whatever fits. The word you type becomes the heading on every crew member’s badge, and the autocomplete remembers it for next time, the same way the BEO fields do.

Keep it hidden while seating is in flux

Right up to the day, people move between tables, seats, and stalls. The same section has a show on the crew view switch so you can keep the values hidden while the plan is still a draft. Build the seating, leave the toggle off, then flip it on once the floorplan is locked. The badge appears on every crew member’s next refresh, with no need to re-share the link.

The switch is per event, so a gala with seating still moving and an expo with fixed stalls each behave the way that event needs.

Full detail, including the autocomplete with its running “N seated” count and the text conventions for what to type, is in the table and seat numbers help article.
