To access the edit mode, click on the penultimate button at the top right side ‘Edit Map’.
The system will change the map view, and a series of icons will appear on the left side of the screen. These icons allow you to perform specific actions.
Add tables
Click on the icon to open the table creation screen.
Select the table typology
Give the table a name
Specify the minimum and maximum number of people who can book this particular table. A single person won't be able to book this particular table, If you enter 2 people as minimum capacity.

The second button allows you to edit the walls. Click on the icon to start building it. Use the left button on the mouse or touchpad, first select the start point of the wall, then click the left button again to mark the end of the wall. To save the walls and table layout, click on the save button on the top right, and finally, select “Default”.
The points defining the beginning and end of walls, allow you to adjust their angle and length.

For each decoration you can choose a colour.

5. Map in motion
When accessing the map edit mode, you won't be able to move around the map, without first clicking this button. Clicking the button activates the motion mode, which allows you to navigate the map while editing it.
6. Duplicate
This button helps you duplicate a map element. Click on a map element to select it, then press duplicate. Decide how many units you want to duplicate for each item.
Once you have clicked yes, the duplicated table will have the same characteristics as the original one: i.e. it will have the same shape and number of people.
If the name assigned to the table is a number, the duplicated table will have a sequential number. In the example above, the duplicated table 1 becomes table 2.
7. Modify
As with the "duplicate" button, select the table you wish to modify and click on the 'edit' button to modify a map element.
8. Delete
If you select a decoration or a wall and then click on this button, you can delete the element in question.
To delete a table, you will be re-directed to the "Configuration > Dining rooms/Areas" section.
9. Zoom
The last two buttons let you adjust the zoom level of the room in the view mode.
HOW TO SAVE THE MAP LAYOUT
The last button in the top right-hand corner of the screen, lets you save the room layout.
You can save it two ways:
Default - by saving it as default, you save the table layout for a specific room.
Daily - in this case, the table layout is saved for a specific service and a specific date you select.
The penultimate button in the top right-hand corner, lets you return to the default layout for a specific day or service.
