Seat Naming in Tessitura

Hello all,

The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is in the midst of a seat naming campaign and I am looking for the best way to track what the contributors want put on their seat plaque.  A few caveats:

We don't have the venue built in Tessitura yet.  At some point in the future we will probably set up a "performance" allowing us to "sell" that seat to the patron who named it.  

So, is there a way (custom screen? Aliases?) to track the 200 character long messages that the contributors are choosing? What things have others tried?

    We use the custom tab, with a field for the seat plaque dedication, a dropdown for the donation amount, and another for the seat number. If you'd like to know more about how that works on the back-end, you can contact our IT Manager Bob Kenmotsu at rkenmotsu@ybca.org

    Levi,

     

    I wonder if you could use the Program Lists/Preferred Name radio button under Names in Tess.  I believe you can add different pulldown options so this would be separate from your regular program listing.  I’m not sure if there is a character limitation, but something to check out.

     

    Hope this helps.
