Planning a Swap Between Two Full Tables

This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.

Background and constraints

A fictional banquet has two full tables of four. Two guests agree to exchange tables, but a direct move into a full table would exceed the configured capacity.

    Planning process

    The host temporarily moves Alex to Unassigned, moves Ellis into the newly available place at table one, then moves Alex to table two. Every step is checked before printing. The temporary unassigned state is part of a controlled edit, not a missing guest to ignore.

    Result explanation

    The sequence respects the four-seat limit throughout and ends with four guests at each table. Unassigned can serve as an editing buffer, but the host must verify that it is empty when the plan is finalized.

    Alternative

    Use a direct swap control if one is available in the current tool version. The underlying requirement remains the same: preserve names and capacity in both tables.

    Execution notes

    Perform the complete sequence before sharing the chart. Save only after reviewing the final membership so helpers do not receive an intermediate state.
