The closer your big day gets, the more often you look at one question: how many people have actually replied? That is exactly what the four tiles above your guest list are for, and below them the search, the filters and the sorting help you find any name right away. You will find all of it under Planung → Gäste (Planning → Guests).
The four figures
Gesamt (total): everyone in your list, including companions that were added automatically.
Zugesagt (attending): everyone who said yes in the sign-up form.
Abgesagt (not attending): everyone who said no.
Ausstehend (pending): everyone you do not have a firm answer from yet.
For every tile you also see the percentage in relation to the total number.
Good to know: „Ausstehend" holds two groups: guests who have not replied at all, and guests who answered „Vielleicht" (maybe). When the numbers do not seem to add up, that is usually the explanation.
You will meet the same number again as a small red marker on the sidebar entry „Gäste" (guests). It shows how many guests have not replied yet. Once it is gone, you have heard back from everyone.
Finding one guest
Just type the name into the field „Gast suchen …" (search for a guest) above the table. The search looks at first name, last name, email address, household name and the names of the children. So if you search for „Mia", you find the guest that Mia sits under in the list.
It is even quicker from any page in your dashboard: open the search in the top bar or press ⌘K or Ctrl+K, type at least two letters and pick the guest with the arrow keys and Enter. You land straight on their profile. The quick search shows up to five guests and looks through names and email addresses.
Filtering and sorting
Status: „Alle Status" (all statuses), „Ausstehend", „Zugesagt", „Abgesagt" or „Vielleicht".
Gruppe (group): „Alle Gruppen" (all groups) plus every group that belongs to your event type.
Sortierung (sorting): on a computer you click a column heading, so „Name", „E-Mail", „Gruppe" or „Status". A second click reverses the order.
Search and filters work together. If you search for „Müller" and filter for „Ausstehend" at the same time, you only get the Müllers without a reply. When you see „Keine Gäste gefunden. Versuche andere Filter." (no guests found, try different filters), set the filters back to „Alle Status" and „Alle Gruppen".
The sorting is not saved, so on your next visit the list is alphabetical by name again. Companions always stay indented right below their main guest, no matter how you sort.
Below them you also see the children from the replies, each as its own indented row with the label „Kind" (child). A confirmed companion without an entry of their own gets a row in just the same way, labelled „Begleitung" (companion). You cannot click these rows, they belong to the reply of their guest. And as soon as children are signed up, the „Gesamt" (total) tile also tells you how many there are.
Good to know: Filters and search only change what you see on screen. The CSV export and the bulk sending of invitations ignore them.
Frequently asked questions
I am seeing the guest list of a different event.
The guest list, the replies and the search always belong to the event that is currently active. Switch it under Meine Events (my events) and your list is right again. After you change devices, the event you created most recently is loaded automatically.
My list is empty even though I added guests.
Check whether a filter or a search term is still active. If there really is no guest yet, the card „Noch keine Gäste" (no guests yet) welcomes you with the buttons „CSV importieren" (import CSV) and „Gast hinzufügen" (add guest).
