Seat Start	Number assigned to the first seat within every row. By default, first seat within every row is an aisle seat. You can modify this, after creating a block of seats, by selecting the seat and changing this information. You can use Aisle seats as part of your best available search criteria. This value identifies the seat number on a ticket, along with Section and Row. This value should be less than the Seat End value. The Horizontal Direction field specifies the side of the block the seat numbering beings. For example, if you specify the values Start=1, End=5, Increment=1, the seats are labelled as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Seats 1 and 5 are categorized seats as aisle seats. To add a single seat to every row, enter the same number in the Seat Start and Seat End fields.

For example, if you have 14 seats and set the System Seat to 1: •If you select Left to right, the seat furthest to the left will be given the value 1, while the seat closest to the right will be given the value 14. Seat 1 would be filled first while seat 14 would be filled last. •If you select Right to left, the seat furthest to the right will be given the value 1, while the seat closest to the left will be given the value 14. Seat 1 would be filled first while seat 14 would be filled last.
