Groups and tables

How a group fills up

1. A buyer pays for the whole group. You see it under Group registrations on the event page.
2. The buyer names the guests they know at checkout. The other seats stay open.
3. The buyer shares a seat link. Each guest opens it and claims a seat.
4. The buyer can also add names from their account.
5. Your team can add a name at any time.

The row shows the progress, such as “3 of 8 named”. The Guest names missing card on Needs attention counts every open seat.
