Tracking Naming Opportunities using Program Name?

We set up a performance in a "naming" season. And we allocate the seat inventory that way.

Hi,

One of our consortium organizations has a Name A Seat campaign under way, and is looking for the best (preferably non-custom) way to track this in Tessitura.

It's not unusual for a donor to purchase multiple seat naming opportunities (in honor of several other people). We had tried using the Program Name to track this, with a Program Type of Name A Seat, but you can't have duplicate rows of the same Program Type.

Another option we looked at was using Attributes, which could then be pulled via a list/output set - but the Attribute Value has a 30-character limit, which is way too short.

How have others handled this? As I said, we would prefer not to get too custom, since we have limited tech resources.

Thanks!
