Access and Training for New Finance Team

Hi everyone,

Happy New and I hope everyone is well and staying safe!

We are a 7-year young organization and to my delight, have a new CFO who actually want's his team to have access to Tessitura!  As the system admin 

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to share:

  • Does your finance office has FULL access to every available report and they pull for themselves? - This speaks to training and what's needed.
  • Did you provide any specific training for your finance office?  - I don't see any specific training for FInance.  There used to be a great video but that seems to have disappeared.

I'm finding it's a balance between what Tessitura recommends, what we need as an organization and what everyone wants which is generally "just give me access to everything and I'll figure it out!" I've posted in FInance as well.

Many thanks, everyone!

  • Michelle,

    The staff of the SLSO Finance team has much longer tenure than the time I have been in this role, so I cannot speak to what kind of training they had. However, I can tell you that they do not have access to all the reports. We have about 4 different Finance user groups and they all have varying levels of access to reports. At SLSO, Finance one of the few departments that pulls their own reports.

    I would like to hear what you came up with as far as training is concerned.
