Hello all!
We are setting up our education events in Tessitura. We have talkbacks, student workshops, teacher workshops, master classes, etc. The majority of these events are free, so we are planning to use Activities to track them.
There are a few workshops that are paid. We would like to use Activities to track everything, but since money cannot be taken through Activities, we are looking for other options. The money collected is not tied to donations, so we don't want to use Elevated Events. We could use performances, but that means those workshops would be tracked separately from the free workshops. Using performances for all workshops wouldn't allow us the extra tracking tied to Activities.
Has anyone else run into this issue? How did you decide to track your free vs. paid edcuation events?
Thanks,
Angela, TPAC
Hi Angela,
What sorts of extra information are you tracking that works in Activities but not in Performances? I don't know Activities very well, but I do know Performances, so maybe there are some analogous fields that would work for you.
The other option I see would be to keep everything in Activities, and then use a "dummy performance" to collect the fees. This would be a bare bones performance with editable pricing set for an arbitrary date and time. You'd be able to collect money and associate it to a customer, and then you could make notes in various fields that the Activity was paid for.
