Hello,
Oklahoma Contemporary is in the testing phase of transferring to Tessitura and using TNEW to sell camps/class online. We currently use Greater Giving and massively complex Excel spreadsheets (all manual entry to Excel from registration emails sent automatically from Greater Giving) to track camp/class info. We collect a lot of info online that doesn't seem to have a place to automatically transfer in a constituent record (student name, preferred name, allergies, medication, behavior modification, emergency contact, etc.). We were promised in the discovery phase that Tessitura/TNEW would help alleviate manual entry/save time. Does anyone else have any solutions/suggestions/experience with streamlining the online registration info to constituent record to useful reporting process? I am struggling on troubleshooting how to extract the registration info or how to manipulate the data that does not live anywhere in the constituent record. Is the only solution custom tabs?
Thanks,
Emily Burton, Education Associate

Hi Emily
Boston Ballet School has been using custom screens to store student data (ages, emergency contact, health ins., waivers, questions, DOB, etc.) since 2009. I definitely think its the best way to go, especially has access to those screens can be controlled through security. Our current TNEW (v6) online registration set-up has customized forms which push the information to the custom screens automatically. I think with v7 it could be even easier with stored procedures (don't quote me, we haven't upgraded yet ).
Best,
Michaela
