Hello,
I am trying to create an attribute that will track bid number for or upcoming auction. I can create a list that includes everyone who has a bid number, but the User Defined Format From a List report does not include Attribute information
Is there a good report or other way to search for attributes in this way?
Thank you,
Karen
Hi Karen,
If you're just wanting to search based on bid number, you can click the "Attribute" radio button on the Constituent Search screen (under "Search Mode") and then select your bid number Attribute from the dropdown.
If you want to output a list of everybody along with their bid numbers, you should be able to build a custom output set element for that without too much trouble. The Output Set Builder Cookbook has a recipe that should be able to do that for you. (That link is to the v12 edition; there's an older version as well as much more information on using output sets here.)
The "Attribute Value" recipe is what you'd want. You may have to have your Tessitura admin set it up for you if you don't have access to the system tables, but in this case you can probably follow the recipe exactly as written so there's little or no SQL involved.
Once you have that up and running you could run "Execute an Output Set" using your list of everybody who has the bid number attribute and your new output set.
Hope that helps!
Thanks Matthew, it sounds like the Output Set is what I was looking for, and our Tess admin got me set up. Gotta get around to learning SQL!
