    Hi VivekN 
    As an alternative to displaying the table number directly on the scatter markers, you may want to enhance the use of tooltips to improve usability. By configuring a rich tooltip, you can display key details such as the table number, total seats, occupied seats, available seats, and even a status indicator when users hover over a marker. This approach keeps the visual clean while still allowing users to quickly identify and understand each table without needing to click on it, making it a practical workaround given the limitations of the native scatter chart.

Thank you kushanNa GeraldGEmerick v-priyankata for your input. I have successfully created a seating plan visual using a Scatter Chart. When a marker is selected, it displays details such as Table Number, Total Seats, Occupied Seats, and Available Seats. The chart is plotted using Table Number along with X and Y coordinates. However, I am unable to display the Table Number directly within the circular markers on the scatter plot. My goal is to make the Table Number visible on the markers so users can identify tables without having to click on them. Could you suggest an approach to achieve this?
