Prismm and AllSeated transition planning

Moving from Prismm? Keep control of your event floor plans

Start with an asset inventory, export what you can still access, identify the rooms and event plans worth rebuilding, and test one representative workflow before committing to a broader manual migration.

The job to be done

Treat the transition as a records project

The goal is not to move every old file blindly. Preserve what matters, document the source, and rebuild the room knowledge your team actually uses.

Inventory before access changes

List active rooms, standard setups, upcoming events, reusable favorites or groups, reports, and the people who depend on each asset.

Separate source from working plan

Keep exported originals in a controlled archive, then identify which dimensions and objects need verification before becoming a reusable Margo room.

Pilot the full handoff

Rebuild one room and one current event, then test editing, review, sharing, printing, and setup use before repeating the process.

How it works

A cautious manual migration path

Margo does not advertise a Prismm or AllSeated importer. The honest path today is export, inventory, manual rebuild, verification, and a bounded pilot.

1

Export available source material

Download floor plans, reports, images, PDFs, lists, and any reference data still available. Preserve filenames and dates so the origin remains clear.

2

Prioritize rooms and events

Start with frequently used spaces and current events. Archive obsolete experiments rather than turning every historical drawing into a new template.

3

Rebuild and verify

Create the room in Margo from the best source, check critical dimensions and fixed features, and label anything that still needs venue confirmation.

4

Run a real workflow test

Generate or build an event layout, edit it, create a milestone, review the release, share the view, and print the setup packet.

What the workflow supports

What to evaluate in the replacement workflow

A feature checklist matters, but so do file custody, the room source, review responsibilities, printable output, and what collaborators can actually access.

Room and event separation

Reusable venue templates can hold the room foundation while each event receives its own plan, history, guest data, and approval state.

Editable guided first pass

Margo can generate a starting layout from event type, attendance, room size, seating style, and required zones; every object remains editable.

Controlled records and exports

Named versions, comments, approval history, private sharing, browser-print plans, setup packs, and workspace data export support custody of the new record.

Planning checklist

Prismm / AllSeated export and evaluation checklist

Keep this inventory with the transition owner and record which items were exported, verified, rebuilt, archived, or still blocked.

  • Active events and the latest approved or issued plan for each one
  • Venue rooms, divided-room states, dimensions, fixed objects, and source files
  • Templates, favorites, object groups, inventories, labels, and standard setups
  • Reports, guest or table data, PDFs, images, and setup documents that must be retained
  • Owners, collaborators, access needs, export locations, and retention requirements
  • One representative venue-and-event pilot with explicit acceptance questions

Questions to settle before the room is set

Can Margo import a Prismm or AllSeated project directly?

No direct importer is claimed. Use exported source material to rebuild the room and event manually, and verify critical dimensions and data along the way.

Should we recreate every historical floor plan?

Usually not. Prioritize active events, repeatable rooms, standard setups, and records you must retain. Keep older exports in an organized archive when rebuilding them adds no operational value.

What should a pilot include?

Use a representative room and current event. Test the brief, editable layout, room objects, milestones, comments, approval roles, view-only sharing, printing, and setup use with the people who own those steps.

Is Margo affiliated with Prismm, AllSeated, or Cvent?

No affiliation is stated. Prismm, AllSeated, and Cvent are referenced only to describe the transition and evaluation context; their marks belong to their respective owners.

Test the move with one representative room

Bring an exported source and a current event. Rebuild carefully, verify the room, and evaluate the entire workflow before planning a broader transition.
