Assigning a Guest to a Table

Use the dropdown to add guests to tables – or assign them in bulk using Excel.

There are three ways to assign guests to tables.


Before you start: Make sure you have already created your tables in Event Setup. Guests can only be assigned to tables that exist in your event.


Method 1: Assign Individually from Guest List

  • Go to your Guest lists
  • Add a new guest you want to assign
  • Under the Table field dropdown, select the table name
  • Click Save
  • The guest will now appear under that table in your Tables view.

Note: If the table has a seat limit (e.g., 10 seats), you cannot assign more guests than available seats.


Method 2: Move Guests Between Tables (Drag & Drop / Dropdown)

  • On your guest list or in the Check-in App open your guest list
  • Locate the guest you want to move and edit the guest
  • Click the Table dropdown next to their name
  • Select the new destination table
  • The guest is instantly moved - no data loss, no re-entry

Pro tip: Use the dropdown method for last-minute changes requested by guests or event hosts.


Method 3: Bulk Assign via Excel

For large guest lists, you can assign tables in bulk:

  1. Export your guest list as an Excel file.
  2. Add the Table column and fill in the table name for each guest.
  3. Import the file back into Check-in Pax.

Important: Table names must match exactly what you created in Event Setup.


Troubleshooting

No tables appear in the dropdown? You haven't created any tables yet. Go to Event Setup > Tables to add them.

Table is full? The seat limit has been reached. Either increase the limit or assign the guest to a different table.
