Article Navigating the Tessitura website

The Tessitura Network Community is home to discussions, shared ideas, job listings, learning resources, and more. This article gives you an overview of what is available and where to find it so you can make the most of your membership.


Forums

Forums are the backbone of the community. They are open to all members and organized by product area and topic — covering areas such as ticketing, TNEW, fundraising, analytics, and more. You do not need to join anything to participate; if you have a question, you can post it in the relevant forum straight away.

Forums are a good place to:

  • Ask a technical question and get answers from peers across the Tessitura network.
  • Search for discussions on a topic before posting — there is a good chance someone has asked the same question before.
  • Share a solution or workaround that might help others.

Tip: Before posting a new question, use search to check whether it has already been answered. Filtering by the Community tab is a quick way to find existing discussions on your topic.


Community groups

Community groups are focused spaces that you join based on your role, region, or interests. Unlike forums, groups have their own membership, discussions, events, and resources. They're a great place to strike up conversations and network with your peers.

There are three types of group:

  • Regional groups — connect with Tessitura users in your geographic area, stay informed about local events, and build relationships with nearby peers.
  • Topical groups — focused on specific subject areas such as TNEW, marketing, finance, or data. A good place to go deep on a particular area with others who share your focus.
  • Affinity groups — built around shared identities and interests within the Tessitura community, such as Women in Tech or the Analytics Coffee group.

Tip: Not sure whether to post in a forum or a group? As a general rule, use forums for product and technical questions where you want the broadest possible audience, and use groups for conversations where the regional or topical context matters.


Ideas board

The Ideas board is where members submit and vote on suggestions for new features and improvements to Tessitura products. If you have an idea for how something could work better, this is the place to share it. And if someone else has already suggested the same thing, adding your vote and commenting with your use case helps signal demand to the product team.

You can browse ideas by product area, filter by status, and comment to add context or share your use case. The Tessitura product team reviews ideas on the board as part of the roadmap process.


Job board

The Job board lists open roles at Tessitura licensee organizations. Whether you are hiring or looking for your next opportunity, the board is a good resource specific to the arts and cultural sector community that uses Tessitura.
