Good afternoon - I would like to set up an elevated event for our annual gala, and one of the members of our development team said that we are unable to assign memberships from gifts/gala ticket purchases when using elevated events. Our ticket purchases are counted as gifts - we send an acknowledgement letter with the amount of the purchase allowable as a gift stated. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you handle? It is much easier to capture invitations and attendance on the donor records instead of keeping inaccurate spreadsheets year to year.
Thank you,
Angela
Hi Angela. I think this is similar to what you might be looking at. We ran into the same thing where we wanted to include 2 of our events in our standard membership program. While there is no Memb. Org. field in Elevated Events as there is in the Campaigns tab, there is in the T_CAMPAIGNS and you can set an Membership link there (memb_org_no = 2 below). We've used it and tested it and it works for us for . Be sure to test it thoroughly though if you want to use it. You'll need someone to update that for you in SSMS (pretty simple).
update T_CAMPAIGNset memb_org_no = -- membership no herewhere campaign_no = --your elevated event no here
Thank you - what version of Tessitura are you using? We just upgraded to V15 and I am going to test to see if this issue was resolved in the upgrade.
we are 15.0.2 but I was doing this in v12.5 as well
