If you are using a physical configuration "with seat map" you will need a hall plan.

This can 

  • be ordered as a chargeable service from SecuTix.  
    • To do this, please open a service ticket at the SecuTix Helpdesk
  • if enabled, can be created independently in the SecuTix seat map editor.

The seat map can be created in the menu  Institution → Venue → Seat map editor

Creation of a seating plan

Preparation

You will need 3 elements that will be asigned in the course of the creation of the seat plan.You can create the elements under the respective points and display them later via the so-called "Burger" menu.

  1. Area
  2. Block (optional) → The use of blocks is only recommended in stadiums / halls with <10,000 seats. 
  3. Entrance

Construct

By opening the menu Institution → Venue→ Seat map editor you will start with a white screen.  On the left side of the screen ther is a menu with drawing elements. 

There you select the first menu item "Insert a Seat" and create a number of chairs. It is generally advisable to create too many chairs and to subsequently edit or delete individual rows in the seating tool (3).Es empfiehlt sich, zunächst tendenziell zu viele Stühle anzulegen und einzelne Reihen nachträglich im Sitzplatz-Tool (3) nachträglich zu bearbeiten bzw. zu löschen.
