Hi all,
I'm trying to develop a way to track seat naming opportunities across our venues so that our dev team can quickly see what seats are named and what are still available for naming--we're currently working from excel spreadsheets which are unwieldy and prone to error. I unearthed a few threads from 5+ years ago where some folks mentioned using a dummy future performance to track what seats are available and who has named what, but they were scant on details.
Does anyone have any experience with this who would be willing to share?
Thanks!Grayson
Hi Grayson,
We do have a custom screen in Tess that we use for naming opportunities and for the most part I really like it. We also have a custom report that gives us all the information we put into it. It is essentially a one stop shop for capturing the naming opportunity's owner, location, inscription, donation level, whether it has been installed or not, and a few other helpful things. We have had it since long before my time so I am not sure how it was created or implemented, but I am more than happy to share what I can. An example of the screen is below. If you would like I can also email you an example of the report I have and its output.
Thank you for the tag Shannon Rolle (Past Member)!!
Thank you, Grayson, for this thread and Molly for this response. We too are in the middle of a seat naming effort and it would be much easier to track in Tessitura than in Excel spreadsheets. Would you be able to email the example of the report to me as well?

I tried to attach it to the reply, let me know if it is funky when you open it and I can email it. There are things I would add or do differently if I was the one creating the report (adding a column for the sort name, maybe a column for the address, etc.) but it still serves its purpose well.
