Examples of Custom Constituent Header Elements

Good morning all,

I'm curious if anyone here would be willing to share some examples of information they've added to a Custom Constituent Header in Tessitura.

I'm currently in the process of thinking through some changes to our headers, and I've already written code to display an icon when a constituent has a gift they've made in the last week, as well as a modification to the baked-in Urgent CSI code so that it will display the icon if the constituent has an open CSI that isn't urgent.

Since I'm looking at this, I'm just really interested to hear other examples so that we can tackle a comprehensive overhaul if it warrants.

Thank you,

Brian

  • We have icons for snowbirds vs year-rounders (since we’re in Florida!), a chain-link icon that reminds us to check a person’s ‘sits with’ associations and at one point I also had a sparkly, animated gif that displayed when super special VIPs were pulled up- an exec wanted to know how flashy I could make something, and while I proved that I could do it, we ultimately decided to not go down that road!

     

    Cheers,

    Kathleen

  • Kathleen,

    Thank you for sharing! I'll have to remember the chain-link idea if we ever get our ticketing to go through Tessitura (we're currently stuck with our PAC using ProVenue, so that's the only element that doesn't go through Tess).

    With regard to the use of images/animated gifs, do you know off-hand the size restrictions and requirements on those (or where to find them)? No worries if not, I'm sure they're somewhere in the documentation and I can uncover them.

    Thank you again,

    Brian
