As part of our last capital campaign, donors could have spaces named depending on their giving level. There wasn't any particular appeal for this. Some chose specifically to give a set amount in order to name a space, and other top donors were presented with various special naming opportunities befitting their level. As such, there isn't a specific source code tied to an appeal. However, we want to record both the ask and those who chose to name spaces in Tessitura. Luckily, the gift officer has a very thorough manual spreadsheet with the details.
My question would be, where should we actually record this info? My gut reaction is to record named spaces as an attribute where the attribute type is Named Space, and then the details are the name of the space itself. Does this make sense, or is there a better way to accomplish this?
I have seen the relationships tab used for this type of tracking. One way we use it is we have marble re-carved occassionally and it's a way to add end dates to people removed and show when names were initially carved into the walls. I've seen it used for seat naming campaigns as well.
