You need to create a Seating Layout for every seating arrangement you'll use at a particular screen, and each screen must have at least one seating layout created.

In Head Office, you can create a layout for an existing screen that has been imported from Cinema, or a new screen that has been created at Head Office.

Before you begin

• Create or import the screen that your new layout will belong to.
• Create at least one Area Category.
• Ensure you belong to a User Group that has permission to create objects in the Seating Layout module.

Steps

The seating layout will determine one possible arrangement of seats for the screen.

1. Go to Head Office > Maintenance > Screens and open the screen that you want to create the layout for.
2. On the Screen tab, click New Layout.
3. In the Seating Layout tab, enter a name, description, and other properties for your layout.
4. Click the Seating tab.
5. Add areas that correspond to blocks of seating.
6. Click on each area to select it and enter a name, description and other properties for the area.
7. Add seats to each area in the layout.
8. Save.

   Tip! If the new screen has the same (or similar) layout as an existing screen, click Copy Layouts to save time. This will create a copy of an existing screen's layout in any site to any screen. The copied layout is independent of the original; you can edit either layout without affecting the other.
