Greetings all. We have updated the Tessitura Sandbox to v14 this week. The Tessitura Sandbox is a version of the software we publish for access to versions in progress or the version in release and is available to all sites in the Tessitura Community. In this case we are publishing a pre-beta version of v14. This is software still in development and the QA cycle as such we expect you may encounter some issues and defects which will of course be resolved before we release. The goal of getting this to you early is so you can review functionality, plan for the release on your side, and give us feedback before we have released the software.
At this point we are still completing some of the features in the v14 suite, in this release we are making available the updated Payment functionality, the constituent side of Contact Permissions (what will ultimately fulfill the DPA requirements in the UK) and other small enhancements. In this release of the sandbox we are NOT publishing any of the Resource Scheduling functionality. This area is still in very active development and not quite ready to be published. We know many of you are keen to work with this functionality, as soon as it is ready we will get it in the sandbox and announce that it is available here.
Want more details on v14 features and functions? Look for a first pass at the What’s New in v14 documentation to be release by the start of the New Year.
If you have feedback on the published new features, have questions about the sandbox like: what’s my login? Or do I have a login? Please email us at roadmap@tessituranetwork.com.
Anna,
Apologies if I just haven't been looking hard enough (or in the right place), but how does one gain access to the Sandbox? I'd love to be able to spend some time with this.
Thank you,
Brian
For access to the sandbox and any other logistic inquiries please email us at roadmap@tessituranetwork.com.
Hi Anna,
About the defects present in the alpha — are you able to keep us posted on what's in the queue? I love kicking around pre-release software, but only if the lines of communication are open. There's nothing I find more frustrating that finding something broken and being unable to A: fix it myself, B: tell someone who can fix it that it's broken, or C: verify that someone who can fix it knows that it's broken.
I'd be happy to just email roadmap@tessituranetwork.com, but I don't want to create more work for us if there's a better option.
Nick, roadmap@tessituranetwork.com is the place to send feedback while we are ‘under construction’ (no need to send defects now but if it helps you see past them feel free to pass them along we’ll take them via email). When we update the sandbox with beta we will update here and be accepting defects via TASK. We do not maintain a publishable defect listing for the in-development versions.
Is there any documentation (other than the rough draft "What's new in v14) regarding v14?
I'm in the sandbox having a look but not sure where to focus my attention! I note that there's a new button on the Order screen labelled "Booking" but not sure what it's for. I'm assuming/hoping it relates to Resource Scheduling.
Any news on when this will be available in the sandbox?
Martin
I've not been in the Sandbox for the Old Vic for a LONG time and when I tried the login details I last used, they are not working now. Is there a new login set up for each new iteration? Who should I contact to get my login details?
Thanks, Debbie
Martin, The biggest changes have been to the payment areas. That documentation will be coming presently but we are hoping most of the new workflow is pretty intuitive (Hint: Click the ALT key to see the new shortcuts in the window).
Resource scheduling is still a work in progress and we hope to have some or all of it ready to look at in the next month or two. I will note in this forum when it is available.
Debbie, any logistic questions should go to roadmap@tessituranetwork.com. We can send you your credentials if you have misplaced them.
