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?
Program Lists/Preferred Name would be the most logical place for something like this but you would only have 70 characters in the name field.
If you don't want to go the custom tab route you might consider adding a new Research Note type and putting the information in Research-Notes.
Another option might be using Associations. Create a new association type and associate all donors to the seat campaign to a "Kauffman Center" account. The Notes field in an associtation holds 255 characters.Dale
