Automatic vs Manual Seating Plans
Use suggested seating as a starting point and manual review to account for relationships and venue constraints.
Start from sound input
Confirm attendee names, table capacities and guest relationships before requesting a suggestion. Incomplete data can produce a tidy-looking arrangement that still does not suit the hosts or the physical venue.
Keep the organiser in control
Review the suggested groups before applying them. Manual changes are useful for access needs, host preferences and sensitive relationships. Save layout edits deliberately and publish only after reviewing the guest-visible result.
Worked example · illustrative details
A suggestion splits a family
An initial arrangement seats four family members together and one elsewhere. Check whether moving the family to a table with five available places improves the plan, then review the other affected guests before applying the change.
Your next steps
- Check the source details with the hosts or venue.
- Review the relevant named guests and current saved information.
- Make the change in the appropriate DEVENT workspace tool.
- Confirm the result and communicate any downstream changes to your team.
