Group Sales Reporting and Other Tid Bits

Hi All !

I am looking for some help and tid bits regarding group sales. 

What are the best reports to pull to track group sales, as well as track the payments made for them (or to track payments that need to be made!) 

I am interested in any other helpful tips or tricks with Group Sales and Tessitura, as we are still fairly new to this awesome database! 

Thank you!

    Here's the T_KEYWORD setup for the custom plan element, followed by the view it references.

  • This is just what I needed, thank you! 

    We are implanting plans to be used for our artistic team, so they can keep track of contracts and other production items! 

  • Thank you so much for presenting this!  I have been unable to respond because my tickets and forum responses were not posting for some crazy reason.  I had to change the code so it pulled performance for us rather than production season.  After some playing around I got it to work so thank you so much for the code.  I would have been lost without it.

    I have a couple of question...I need the field to be longer on the Plans screen but it seems that it can only be one size.  Do you know if there is a way to make it wider?   l also noticed in T_Keyword  for the Detail TBL you referenced the T_PLAN table rather than the view VS_Plan .  Is there a reason I should reference the table rather than the view?

    Hi Terry,

    Glad you got it to work for you!

    I don't know of anyway to make the field longer. Since it's a standard custom field I doubt there is a way, but Support may be able to help there. 

    I have a bad habit of using tables rather than views, so there's no good reason for that choice. Using the view would probably work; I'd just test it first.
