Tables on PayBee may used for all kinds of events including fundraising galas and golf tournaments. Ideally, tables are assigned before the event so the check in process during the event is smooth and short.
Guests may be assigned table numbers but we do offer the option for you to assign Table Names instead. We typically see this at golf tournaments where Table 1 may be considered Hole 1 and Table 2 may be considered Hole 2, for example.
You may also assign various tables to a Category. This is typically the case when a Sponsor purchases multiple tables. For eg., Chase Bank could be a sponsor with tables 1-4. You could also use categories to denote various categories of table seating like VIP, General Admission, Volunteers, etc.
Finally, you can also choose to include Assigned Seating within each table. For most events, this is typically not important but if your guests are to be seated at a specific Seat Number on the table, we do offer the option to assign seats as well. If you would prefer to go by a Seat Name instead of Seat Number, this is possible on PayBee as well. We see this at event venues like theaters where a guest may be seated on Seat A on Row 1, for eg., where the Seat Name is Seat A and Table Name is Row 1 in this instance. To see how you can assign tables and seats to your guests, .
The Tables setting must be enabled for the event to create new tables. If you are unsure of the current setting, go to Manage > Events, tap on Edit under your event and scroll down to Table Assignment. Below you will find information on: Tables can be created and assigned in two locations:
Tables can be assigned under the In-Person Event report. Go to Manage > Events and click ... (3 dots) under the event and choose In-Person Event Report. From the Attendees tab you can assign tables.
Choose the table for that guest. Tables can be edited per guest by choosing the table number under the TableNum column.

Click the manage guests button for each ticket and assign tables using the pulldown in the window.
To see a list of ALL of your guests and assign tables to each of them, go to the Guests tab instead of the Tickets tab under Manage > Tickets & Guests.
Go to Manage > Ticket & Guests > Tables tab. Tap on the Add Tables button to add new tables, make sure to switch "Guest will be assigned specific seats in table" field ON to enable assigned seating within these tables.
Once this is done, you will see a button with a chair icon appear next to the other action buttons for these tables indicating that assigned seating in ON for these tables. To add Seat Names or to add/delete seats to a table with assigned seating, tap on the chair button.
You may use the Edit and Delete buttons to add Seat Names to these seats or delete seats from the table.
To assign tables and seats to all guests on your guestlist, go to the Guests tab and tap on the Assign button under the Table column. All tables with assigned seating will show up with chair icons next to them in the dropdown. Choose a table and then choose the seat. Tap Assign to save the selection. The Edit button (button with the pencil icon) may be used to update the Table and Seat selection.
PayBee generates paddles for all your guests with their information on it. This includes their name and table number (if you are assigning tables). You can download the PDF and print it on regular paper or card stock. Blank paddles can also be generated so you can assign them to the guests at check-in.
Go to Manage > Events > ... choose the In-Person Event Reports and the Paddles tab.
Go to Manage > Events and tap on Edit under the event. Go to the Table Assignment setting, make sure the flag is ON and tap on Add/Update Tables. They may also be created by going to Manage > Tickets and Guests > Tables tab. You can also choose to switch ON here. Seat Names can only be created in the ticket management settings.
You can automatically to all guests by clicking on the Assign Paddle to All button.
Once you have assigned paddles, you can preview and download the paddles for printing. More information on this may be found .
