Hi,
I would be interested in talking to licensees who are using Tessitura for usher management.
We currently have an Access database that we handle this with, but we would like to make use of Tessitura.
Thanks, Richard Glass

I know I’ve heard at least two presentations at conferences that touched on this topic. I would do a search on tessituranetwork.com. Searching for the word “usher” gives a few results that might help you. Here’s just one, from “Discussion Notes from Tools & Technology for Front of House Session at TLCC2012”:
USHER MANAGEMENT
Use to manage your volunteers this engages them in using it further.
The Alliance Theatre uses Tessitura to schedule their ushers.
· Set up a performance for each night.
· Sell “tickets” to the house for attendance
· Available on the web as a separate website for the ushers to access and book themselves in, this is linked to their account in Tessitura.
· Reports can then be run on how many ushers are scheduled to work, using standard Tessitura reports.
· Set up scanning so that you can track their attendance, time of arrival, time left etc.
· Give ushers ranking so that certain ushers can access opening night performances etc.
