Setting Up Your Layout (Floor Plan)
The app calls this Layout: build one or more plans, place your tables, and choose which layout is active. Use Floor View under Bookings for live status.
Overview
In the sidebar, open Profile -> Layout (not the same as Bookings -> Floor View). You manage one or more saved layouts, create a layout, open it in the editor, and place the tables you defined in Profile -> Tables on the plan. Only one active layout is used at a time, but you can duplicate layouts for different seasons or event setups when your product allows. Bookings -> Floor View is the operational live map (only on plans that show the Bookings section) and requires tables and a layout to be meaningful.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Finish Tables first
Complete Profile then click Tables so the table list you will drag onto the plan exists and matches the real room.
Open Layout
Go to Profile then click Layout in the left sidebar.
Create or duplicate a layout
Create a new layout, or duplicate an existing one if you are iterating on a new season or an event version.
Place tables in the editor
Drag tables into position so the digital plan matches the physical floor, including key walls and service aisles in the way your editor allows.
Activate the layout you are running
Set the right layout active for service, and only keep alternate layouts in draft or inactive states when you are not using them.
Tips & Best Practices
Name layouts like your seasons
"Summer garden closed" and "New Year event" help you know which file is live at a glance.
Keep a duplicate before big edits
If your flow supports it, duplicate before a risky re-layout so you can roll back.
Tie layout to the same table list
If you remove a table in Tables, expect to adjust Layout the same day.
Read Floor View on the device hosts use
On busy nights, a layout that is easy to read on a tablet is more useful than a perfect CAD drawing you cannot see under lights.
