Hello,
We have a house map that represents tables on the floor level of our house. The table number is represented by a vertical column, then there are the rows and the seat numbers. At each table are seats 1-5. They are differentiated by the Section (aka.. table number) and the row.
We are redesigning our web site and the web developers are having issues in that they don't like the way the columns represent the "sections" (aka.. table numbers). These are in TR_Section. They said if we leave it the way it currently is, they would have to have multiple calls to the API to find seats in each section since they are represented in column format across 3 different price zones.
They have asked that we attempt to build a new house map to represent this differently. I am at a loss as to how to do this because we can only work with Section/Row/Seat. Iam curious as to whether someone may have an idea as to how to make this work? This is a representation of how it currently looks:
SEC 7 SEC 5 SEC 3 SEC 1 SEC 101 SEC 102 SEC 103 SEC 104 SEC 2 SEC4 SEC 6 SEC 8
12345 12345 12345 12345 A 12345 12345 12345 12345 A 12345 12345 12345 12345
12345 12345 12345 12345 B 12345 12345 12345 12345 B 12345 12345 12345 12345
I don't know how to change the "section" to not have it be in a column and still be able to represent the table number? So when you have a seat assigned currently it appears as "Sec 101 Row A Seats 1-3"
Thanks,
Amy
What about using a general section name (e.g. TABLES), then using the row name to indicate the table number (e.g. row number = '5' for table 5) and then seat numbers for each seat?
So then table 5 would be Section TABLES, Row 5, Seats 1, 2, 3, 4.
We did this once a long time ago doing what Jonathan suggests and used simply "Table Seating" for the section name. I don't recall there being any issue with doing so, at least not with our website build at the time.
