2. Open the reservation period record.
3. Click the General tab and the Seating Limits tab.
4. Click the Add link.
5. Enter information in the Seating Limits fields:

   Table 20-23 Seating Limits

   Field	Description
   Begin Time	Enter the time when the defined Seating Limit begins. If you do not create a Seating Limit, the application uses the default value of 00:00:01.
   End Time	Enter the time when the defined Seating Limit ends. If you do not create a Seating Limit, the application uses the default value of 00:00:00.
   Capacity	Enter the number of covers in the party. If you do not create a Seating Limit, the application uses the default value of Unlimited. The Capacity value cascades to lower values if you do not set a lower value. For example, if you set a capacity of 4, this cover includes requests for a party of 1 through 4. However, setting a lower capacity of 2 applies to parties of 1 or 2, and the capacity of 4 applies to parties of 3 or 4.
   Quantity	This value limits the number of reservations available for the Cycles within this timeframe. If you do not create a Seating Limit, the application uses the default value of Unlimited. This value only defines the number allotted and does not represent the current inventory.
