Expanded Guest Table
The expanded guest table gives you a full-screen view of your guest list with powerful bulk management tools and detailed registration information.
Accessing the Expanded Table
To open the expanded guest table:
- Go to your event’s Manage page
- Navigate to the Guests tab
- Click the expand arrow (↗) icon in the top-right corner of the guest list
This opens a full-screen table view with all your guests and their details.
Selecting Guests
Use the checkbox at the start of each row to select guests for bulk actions:
- Click a checkbox to select or deselect a single guest.
- Shift-click another checkbox to select or deselect every guest between it and the last one you clicked. The action matches what you’re doing to the shift-clicked row — if it becomes selected, the whole range is selected; if it becomes deselected, the whole range is deselected.
You can also click a guest’s email in the table to copy it to your clipboard.
Bulk Actions on Selected Guests
Once you’ve selected one or more guests, a Selected dropdown appears above the table showing the count (e.g. "5 Selected"). It offers actions that apply only to the guests you’ve picked:
- Update Status - Change the status of the selected guests (Going, Waitlist, Not Going, or Pending), with options to notify them and to refund paid registrations.
- Report Guests - Report the selected guests for review.
This is different from the Actions menu below, which operates on all pending guests or on a list of emails you provide.
Actions Menu
The expanded table provides an Actions menu with the following options:
- Approve All - Approves all guests who are pending approval or on the waitlist (only appears when there are 2+ pending guests)
- Update Guests - Change the status of specific guests by uploading a CSV or entering emails manually
- Decline All - Declines all guests who are pending approval or on the waitlist (only appears when there are 2+ pending guests)
Update Guests
The Update Guests flow lets you change the status of specific guests in bulk by giving Luma a list of emails. You can open it from two places:
- The Bulk Update Status icon button above the guest list on the manage page
- The Actions menu in the expanded guest table → Update Guests
Both open the same modal:
- Choose how to provide the emails:
- Import CSV - Upload a CSV file containing email addresses
- Enter Manually - Paste or type email addresses directly (multiple emails separated by commas or spaces are accepted)
- Review the list of detected emails and remove any you don’t want to update.
- Select the new status for these guests (Going, Not Going, Pending, or Waitlist).
- For paid events, when changing to any status other than Going, you can optionally Refund Guests.
- Choose whether to notify the guests, and optionally add a custom message.
- Click Update Guests to confirm.
Emails that don’t match a guest on this event are ignored.
Additional Benefits
The expanded table view also provides:
- Full registration details - See all registration questions and answers in a single view
- Better visibility - More space to review guest information without scrolling
- Easier navigation - Quickly scan through large guest lists
When to Use Actions
The Actions menu is particularly useful for:
- Managing waitlists when spots become available
- Approving multiple guests after reviewing applications for approval-required events
- Declining registrations in bulk when an event reaches capacity
- Updating the status of specific guests when you have a list of emails
- Managing guest lists for events with high registration volume
Note: The Approve All and Decline All options only appear when there are at least 2 guests in the pending approval or waitlist status. The Update Guests option is always available.
