Helpful Tip #1

Recently we have received a number of emails asking some very similar questions. So we thought we might use this opportunity to pass on the answers as some more useful Hints and Tips. So here is tip #1:

Question: How do you record an extra guest / unknown 'Plus 1' when they are 'Invited All Day'?

Our recommended method for adding an extra guest to 'Invited All Day' guests is achieved by using some slightly 'outside the box' thinking.

For example, if you have a guest - ' John Smith' - and you wish to add their unknown guest or 'Plus 1' then there is no immediately obvious solution like you find when the guest is a 'Just the Evening' guest (i.e. a row in their details called 'No of extra guests'). This is not a design flaw. We considered this situation at length and decided that the ability to record an individual's meal choice for the 'Plus 1' was a necessity.

So the 'outside the box' solution is:

1. add a guest using the 'with Just the Name' option.

2. First name: 'John' and Last name: ' Smith's +1'.

This method allows the separate recording of a meal option for each day guest.

When you know the name of the 'Plus 1' you could simply change or edit it by tapping directly on the blue arrow on the end of the row to enter editing mode and edit the name.

Hope that helps,
