Organizer guide: How to build and edit your venue layout
Use the venue layout builder to create a visual seating map for your events. This tool allows you to define sections, add tables or rows, and customize seating configurations to match your venue. This guide walks you through getting started and understanding all editable elements.
Getting started with layout creation
- Go to your main dashboard menu and click Venue Layout.
- Select New Layout.
- Enter your Layout Name.
- Select +Section to start building. Note: You must create at least one section before you can add rows or tables.
Once a section is created, click into it to begin placing your tables or rows.
Adjusting seat settings
- To adjust seat size across the entire map, use the dropdown beside Seat Settings on the left-hand menu.
- Note: Seat size changes apply to the full map. Seat spacing, however, can be customized on a row-by-row basis.
Editing options
Section editing
- Section name: Customize the label (numbers or words).
- Rotation: Use the slider or input box to rotate the section.
- Duplicate: Clones the section (drag to move as it stacks on top).
- Flip Horizontal/Vertical: Reorients the rows inside the section.
- Delete: Removes the section from the layout.
Standing / GA editing
- Location name: Name the general admission area.
- Capacity: Set the max number of attendees for this area.
- Rotation: Adjust angle via slider or number input.
- Duplication offset: Controls spacing between duplicates.
- Duplicate: Creates a copy of the GA area.
- Delete: Removes the GA area.
Row and table editing
- Location name: Label the row or table.
- Capacity: Set the number of seats.
- Offset: Choose what number the seats begin at.
- Step: Adjust how seat numbers increment (e.g., only odd numbers).
- Rotation: Rotate the row or table using the slider or number input.
- Seat Spacing: Click Override to enter custom spacing.
- Duplication offset: Control space between duplicated rows or tables.
Always click Save to apply your changes and avoid losing your work.
