Create a Table

Assigning customers to different Tables allows servers to track and manage multiple orders. New tables are created in the FullCount Back Office then added to a floor plan on the Touchscreen.  To create a new table, follow the steps below:

  1. Select the Admin Center button.   
  2. Select the Tables tab.
  3. Choose the Tables subtab.     
  4. Click the New Table button.
    *NOTE: Fields with an asterisk (*) are required.



  5. Fill in the desired specifications for the new table.

    1. Table Area* – Choose the table area to which this new table will be assigned. The table area must already be created in the Back Office.
    2. Description* – Enter the name of the new table as it will appear in the Back Office.
    3. Screen Description* – Enter the name of the new table as it will appear on the Touchscreen.
    4. Effective Start Date* – Select a date when the table should appear on the Touchscreen. The current date will be selected by default.

      *NOTE: Do not enter an Effective End Date when creating a new table area.

    5. Sort Order – Assign a Sort Order to the new table area.
    6. Default Color – Select a color for the table.
    7. Default Shape – Select a shape for the table. The shape must already be created in the Back Office.



  6. Click Save and Close.

The new table is now created and assigned to a table area. If the table area is linked to a department that utilizes floor plans, see the Knowledge Base article Modify a Floor Plan to add the table to the Touchscreen.
