Hi there,
I'm developing some build and proofing checklists for v12.5 (as we moved from v11 so building is quite different), and it seemed like a good opportunity to see how other organizations do this.
What is your proofing process? Do you have a specific checklist used to proof performance builds, pricing, offers, etc? If so, would you mind sharing these checklists?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
Kim
Kim,
I'm following this thread as I've just gone through my first season build on v12.5 and found that it was extremely difficult to proof most things I used to be able to proof easily. There is no function built in to proof the pricing templates - even a copy to clipboard functionality would have been great for this.
I actually have a task set up in my list to try and create a sql query that will pull out the templates to proof. I did have one of my co-workers manually proof our pricing templates by comparing the Excel file I receive them in to the template in Tessitura and she told me that she will never do it for me again. It was her own personal nightmare!
We also proof the master schedule created by the director's office to the Tessitura schedule, with a list of any ancillary items (hearing assistance receivers, parking etc.) that apply to each and every performance. Again this part is manual but at least I'm easily able to pull data for this one from Tess for our call reps to proof during slow times.
Any of our ancillary events such as group events, member events, tours etc. all get built and then each person who is responsible for those events are contacted to go into Tessitura to proof. Generally these people use Season Manager as most things can be confirmed there.
Let me know if I can provide any more info and I hope that someone responds with a great way to proof the pricing templates!
