NEW V1.3 In the seatmap configuration tool, improved seat map pattern se
However manually freezing seats in different specific patterns on very large venues is extremely time consuming.
SOLUTION
The row pattern selection tool (formally known as sparsity selection) has thus been extended to provide “seat pattern” features. It possible to apply a pattern selection on rows only, seats only or both. Once seats are selected in a pattern, they can be frozen or set to a different contingent for example. This tool is not limited to social distancing needs but can be used for any configuration that would require patterns.
GETTING STARTED
Rows only
This pattern allows selecting alternating rows. The row pattern selection is useful for example, when the demand is low, to make sure people are not allocated all at the bottom of a block but on every other row, so the blocks look fuller, in particular on TV.
Starting from the first row of each block of your selection, the pattern will thus alternate between x number of selected rows and y number of unselected rows. The start with option allows choosing between starting with the selection (x-y pattern) or starting with the none selection (y-x pattern).
