Hi there,
I was just wondering whether anyone has discovered or created a way to bulk update the segments to indicate running times across a season of performances after they have been built as yet?
We often do not know the running times for performances ahead of the on sale date - and so have the laborious and time-consuming task of updating this information individually once it becomes available.
Is there any clever people out there who have created a report or similar to do this ?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
regards,
Mardi.
Hi Mardi,
As an interim solution while some poor soul is updating on a perf by perf basis, we’ll put running times in the synopsis tab in title or production within ticketing setup. It’s not ideal for pulling through to the web, but it lets the sales advisors know right away…
Cheers,
Kathleen

Segment info is stored for each performance in TX_PERF_SEG and you could import it into there (after a lot of testing of course) for a performance or performances. Of course making sure that you had the correct details for perf_no and the rest of the info, ie segment type id (from tr_perf_seg), duration and the segment order.
Be worth giving it a try in Test at least.

Thanks for the suggestions.
We do currently store this information in the Synopsis for the ones we find out about after the fact. At this point I am looking to use the dedicated field and thus introduce more consistency for the ticketing team.
Ken and Sandra - I will look at your suggestions and work out which works best for us.
Thanks again for the ideas to try!
Funny you should mention this, Richard - I was thinking that only the other day. I know I’m going to have to make changes to our performance segments in the next few days and was beginning to dread it – I wish segments had the option of appearing at the Production Season level.
I’d resolved to run a script in SQL – something like:
UPDATE TX_PERF_SEG
SET rel_start_min = *new segment run time in minutes*
WHERE perf_no in ( *comma separated list of performance IDs* )
AND perf_seg = *ID of the row in TR_PERF_SEG that matches the Segment you want to update*
Just re-run this for every segment ID you want to update. Good luck!

Has anybody come up with a way to update the Segments section for show run times for an entire production rather than updating individually at the performance level?
Thanks,
Richard
Thanks, Chris. We'll give it a try.
