Adding Portal assignments

Jennifer Dulik

Hello everyone,

 

How would I go about adding Portal/door assignment to seats in an existing facility?  We use a venue that has about 12 entryways into their hall and have requested we add this information to our tickets.

 

Thanks

    The way we do this is with TR_SECTION assignments, and I am led to believe this is what most members use.

    The additional text fields can be printed on tickets (though additional_text_1 is currently also used in v.12 Ticket History). Since I have quite a lot of information I want to store here, I have each section description be something like 'Door D - Orchestra' (since there are other door D "sections") and then print just the door on tickets by getting the description field and limiting the length to 6 characters.

    I suppose you could also define a custom field, but this will ultimately take a lot more work than just using TR_SECTION.

    So I have a question regarding this. If there are 3 areas in a section, left, center and right and two portals, between left/center and right/center. Then if someone sits in the center section, how would I know which of the two portals to list in the additional text area. There would need to be a specific way of saying this portal is to be used for people seated ORCH CTR 101-115, as an example. How do you handle situations like that?
