Table creation can happen anytime
You can create tables at any time — guests don't need to have registered or purchased tickets yet to be assigned to a table.
Modify a Table
Click the pencil icon at the far right of a table's row to open its Table Details page.
An example from a demonstration event.
From here, you can:
- Adjust the number of seats at the table.
- Change the table number.
- Edit the description.
Changes apply immediately
Any changes you make here immediately update the seating for your guests.
Delete a Table
This action is irreversible
Deleting a table can't be undone. If you delete a table, you'll need to re-add it and re-seat your guests.
To delete a table, click the X icon at the far right of the table's row, or select Delete Table from the sidebar. In the confirmation pop-up, click Continue to delete the table, or Cancel to keep it.
Reorder Tables

Repair Tables
Sometimes a ticket sale that should trigger the creation of a table doesn't trigger correctly. To resolve this, click Repair Tables on the sidebar of the Tables page. This opens the Repair Tables page, showing sales that didn't trigger table creation. Click Repair Table Sales to resolve the mismatch.
