Seat Operations

Whenever you have selected seats in the Display Quadrant editor of the Venue Builder, a panel will appear on the right hand side of the form, giving you choices of operations that can be performed on the selected seats.  The operations shown will ONLY apply to the seats you have selected, and NONE of these operations are available UNLESS you have AT LEAST ONE seat selected.

As you can see, there are 27 distinct operations available, and a few of those operations require some additional input or other user action. In order to keep things as readable as possible, this help screen will explain only the easiest of these operations.   For those operations requiring more detailed instruction, a link to a separate page that contains more specific and exhaustive instructions will be provided.
