Barcodes with letter prefixes

Lee Whatley

Hi All,

We share a parking garage with a few other organizations that use Tessitura. The garage has modernized and instead of taking our paper parking passes and counting them, they want to scan them. Ideally, we need our initials as a prefix, because we could possibly have the same ticket number etc. as another company. We are thinking “HGO + ticket number” would work.

We currently build parking as an event and sell tickets to our customers and they usually buy 6 or 7 at a time.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Lee

    Hi Lee,

    Yes! You can do this by typing (as an example) an IF statement into the mask field in your ticket number element properties. It could be something like:

    If(val='0','HGO+(val),'HGO+(val))

    This will then return a value of  HGOticketnumber.

    We've done this a number of times with various ticket design elements to make them say different information depending on the value that Tessitura returns for each ticket. There could be a better formula instead of an IF statement, but this works for us perfectly.
