Pulling Last Name and First Name

I am trying to pull last names and first names from an output set and am running into a problem. For households, there is no first name and the last name comes out John and Ann Smith Household. I know we've had this problem before and it is the TR_Query_Element set up but I don't remember what the Data From field is supposed to be to fix it, right now it is T_CUSTOMER.

  • Do you have a screen shot of what this looks like? We don’t exactly have an IT Department or DBA for Tessitura. Thanks so much.

    Try this - I have a view (which your IT department/DBA will need to add to your Tessitura database) which you can use to add values into TR_QUERY_ELEMENT.  It's limited to household type constituents and will return the following fields:

    • customer_no (of the household)
    • lname (of the household)
    • customer_no1
    • fname1
    • lname1
    • customer_no2
    • fname2
    • lname2

     

    Constituent details for the A1 or A2 affiliates are not included in the output if either is marked as deceased or inactive.

    Hope this helps!

    Lastname1 = Smith

    Firstname1 = John 2

     

    Lastname2 = Smith

    Firstname2 = 2 Ann

    What are you looking for the output to be?  Just guessing you're looking for

    Lastname = Smith

    Firstname = John and Ann

    Would that be correct?

  • Sorry to sound like a dunce but a screen shot of what?  If it's examples of the output, I've attached a few in the spreadsheet.

    Who maintains your Tessitura database?  Whoever this is will be able to run the script to create the view.

    When this is done, you can then create the entries in TR_QUERY_ELEMENT - here's an example:

     

    • Description = Household lname1
    • Category = Constituent
    • Data Select = !.lname1
    • Data From = lv_household_with_primary_affiliate_names

     

    If you have any questions, feel free to email me at martin.keen@nida.edu.au
