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?

  • Hi Levi,
     
    We use a Program Name Type called Seat Plaque to capture inscriptions--if it is longer than the field length we would copy the entire text into a notes field.  If I run a Program Name Listing report I can see the ID and the text.  Our seats move around so it isn't important to tie them to a specific seat number and location.
