Your guest list columns are more than labels, they're how you make sense of everything coming in. You can rename columns to match the way you think, rearrange them to keep the most important details front and center, and hide the ones you don't need right now. Here's how to do all three.
Rename a Column
By default, your guest list columns reflect your RSVP questions exactly. So if you asked "Do you have any dietary restrictions?" that's what appears as the column header. Renaming lets you shorten or simplify those labels so your list is easier to scan at a glance.
From your Event Dashboard, click RSVP.
Click on the question whose column name you want to update.
Find the Column Header field in the lower right corner of the question box.
Type your new column name and click Save.
Tip: If you're collecting RSVPs across multiple events, custom column names help keep responses organized. For example, "Meal: Rehearsal" and "Meal: Ceremony" are much easier to scan than two columns with identical full-length questions.
Rearrange Columns
Hover over the column header you want to move, such as Email or Last Email Status.
When the move icon appears, click and hold the column header.
Drag it left or right to your preferred position.
Release to drop it in place.
Hide or Show Columns
Click Hide/Show Columns in the upper right corner of your guest list.
Use the checkboxes to show or hide specific columns. Your list updates immediately.
Note: Some columns are required and cannot be hidden, including First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Email, Tags, Last Email Status, Plus Ones, Updated On, and address fields.
