Hi Guys
We are currently in the process of getting our resident Opera Company on to Tessitura. Today I was carrying on training on Elevated Events and realised that we might have a bit of a problem with funds and how they link to elevated events and wondered if you guys could help me?
The Opera company will be carrying out 5 events in November and the would like all the money from these events to go in to the same Fund. If I attach a fund to more than one event I get the error "Fund: XXXXXX is already associated with campaign: XXXXXX".
So how do you guys cope with this? Do you setup a fund per event?
Thanks
Nick
Yep - we do the same thing. We have "Prelude Dinners" that happen before specific performances each year (maybe 5 or 6).
Each dinner has it's own Elevated Event ("2013-10-25:PD1-AndrasSchiff" or "2013-11-16:PD2-SanFranSymph"). Then they are linked to different funds "(600 Prelude Dinner #1" or "601 Prelude Dinner #2"). I have 10 different funds setup just in case, but only ever seem to use 5-6 each year.
It only makes it slightly more complicated to report on them as a whole, but we roll up by Campaign Category for the reporting (Event: Prelude Dinners).
Hope that makes sense...
