Hi!
I've had such good luck on the forums...but this one might be a little hard for me to explain, so bear with me. I apologize in advance if this too broad or if I'm not providing enough info to help troubleshoot.
We send a daily email to all patrons who attended the performance the night before (perf_code from a local view which joins T_ORDER_SEAT_HIST and T_SUB_LINEITEM) . These lists are dynamic and are automatically re-generated every day through wordfly (or email application). The problem is, I'm not sure how to identify patrons whose tickets were NOT scanned (assumedly because they did not attend the show). We'd like to send them a different message and give them the opportunity to exchange their tickets into something else.
Do any other organizations ever send messages to patrons who did not have their tickets scanned and therefore, are assumed to have missed a performance?
Any help would be great. Otherwise, I'll have to begin training carrier pigeons. :-3
Thanks,
Tiffany
Thanks Heather!! J
Yes, this view has been very helpful!
I think I just don’t know the syntax to suppress people from the dynamic list.
Do you do something special with the criteria to pull people who do not have the “attended” event code but were ticketed for the performance?

Hi Tiffany -
We've made a custom list criteria element going off a view (although the view is not necessary, we use it for a couple of other things as well). The view references the event code that Brian highlighted.
Then we use that to pull (or suppress) people from our dynamic lists that we pull the next day. We actually call our subscribers who missed a show (vs email). But either way, it lets us suppress people in a 'Thank you for coming' when they didn't actually make it to the show. At least we're not rubbing salt in the wound. :D
Have fun!
Heather

An event code in T_ORDER_SEAT_HIST of 22 indicates attended.

FYI, in case it's helpful, the code below will find customer_no's that had TPD status tickets to a perf, but weren't scanned, i.e. didn't attend, as BWG described above.
select distinct o.customer_nofrom T_SUB_LINEITEM li (nolock)join T_ORDER o (nolock) on o.order_no = li.order_nojoin T_ORDER_SEAT_HIST sh (nolock) on li.order_no = li.order_nowhere li.sli_status in (3,12)and o.customer_no > 0and li.perf_no = 15266 -- subsititute your perf_noand sh.event_code = 2 -- printedand not exists ( select 1 from T_ORDER_SEAT_HIST x where x.order_no = li.order_no and x.event_code = 22 -- attended)
Thanks Chris.
I like this except I would still need to go into the dynamic list and manually change the perf_no.
Otherwise, this is lovely.
I'm unfamiliar with your org; Do you have more than one perf per day? Depending on a few things, your manual list code could find the correct perf_no each day, too.
Sorry, yes...sometimes we do. We have multiple venues and the venue is often considered a part of the performance name to help with setup and help with quickly identifying the show.
For example: YYY0930E would be the performance name for the show that was in the YYY theatre on 9/30 in the evening.

Assuming you'd run the code the next day you code make it something like:
select distinct o.customer_nofrom T_SUB_LINEITEM li (nolock)join T_ORDER o (nolock) on o.order_no = li.order_nojoin T_ORDER_SEAT_HIST sh (nolock) on li.order_no = li.order_nowhere li.sli_status in (3,12)and o.customer_no > 0and li.perf_no = ( select perf_no from T_PERF where facility_no = 123 -- subsititute your facility_no and right(perf_code,1) = 'E' -- this kind of thing, or maybe time_slot, to confine to evening perf of "YYY0930E" and perf_dt = perf_dt - 1 -- i.e. yesterday)and sh.event_code = 2 -- printedand not exists ( select 1 from T_ORDER_SEAT_HIST x (nolock) where x.order_no = li.order_no and x.event_code = 22 -- attended)
That looks so nice, but it gave me 0 constituents, though the query was successful.
I even tried playing with the perf_dt as I thought maybe it was a dynamic date issue, but I'm not seeing anything.
I'll keep trying... we're so close!!! :)

Yeah, the code has a bug I wrote in haste. Where it has
perf_dt = perf_dt - 1
Try this:
perf_dt = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE() - 1, 111), '/', '-') + ' ' + convert(varchar,DATEPART(HH, GETDATE() - 1)) + ':' + convert(varchar,DATEPART(MI, GETDATE() - 1))
