We do not have infomaker installed on our server, and I am just a Box Office manager. We do not have an IT staff person. I need to pull data for renewal forms from the rollovers I created. Does anyone know of a way to get all of the necessary data out in one report? Last year I pulled the order info and the constituent info separately, then did a merge in Excel. That process is very involved and it seems there should be an easier way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Would the standard "Subs Renewal Notices" report work for you? It should at least pull constituent + order data together.
I would run the Subs Renewal Notice report and save it as an Excel file. (Make sure to have the “Include Data Labels” checked. I forget sometimes and it’s just a hassle trying to figure out which column is which.) Our renewal format requires me to make some creative editing in order to get the info I need so yours may depend on how it’s set up.
I hope this helps.

Thank you this would be great, except when I pull the forms all that shows up are random seat numbers, no other data is on the form at all. Just blank forms with random numbers on them. I may have to open a ticket to find out what’s wrong with the forms.

I bet that report is an Infomaker report with embedded subreports, which don't save as Excel.
Having access to SQL Management Studio would really help. No-IT-staff is rough in this situation...
Hi Dennis,
What you want is the data behind what you see on the screen, so generally it doesn’t matter what it’s showing (but what you describe does sound a little odd). Renewal notices always select the same set of data, but they don’t always display all that data. When you save the output to Excel though, you will get all the data, even if some of that data isn’t displayed on the screen. So try saving the output to Excel and see what you get.
If you don’t get the data you want when you do that, look in the T_FORMAT_INFO table and tell me what is in the D_Object column for the row for the renewal notice format you are using when you run the Renewal Notices report.
And here are three links to topics in the new online help system that explain renewal notices:

I just tried saving to excel, and all get is some seat numbers in the seat columns, but there is no other data there.
My D_Object is: d_report_renewal.
WE do not have Infomaker, so if this an infomaker report, that eplains why I can’t get the data.

Dennis,
Also make sure that in TR_Season, your Renewal Notice Format has (d_report_renewal) for your current season that you are rolling over.
Thanks,

You don’t need InfoMaker to run this report. You should be able to use the sample forms just fine. You only need InfoMaker to customize the forms.
Try changing the D_Object to d_renewal_notice_sample2, run the report again, and then see what happens. If you still get nothing, the problem might actually be your data. Have you checked your rollover orders to make sure that they rolled over successfully? If so, try creating a list with just one person on it that you know has a successful rollover and then select that list when you run the report. Also review your report parameters to make sure that everything is correctly set to find the orders you want. If none of that works, you should open a help ticket so the support staff can help you resolve the problem.
Good luck,
In TR_Season, I don’t have the renewal form as an option to choose in the dropdown. I only have (none) or subscription order confirmation?

I know this issue is years old but I'm at the point of throwing Tess out the window. Confirmations should be a standard and easy function but I have now had days of stress in running different reports without the needed results. Why isn't it clear what reports give you when you run them?
I'm trying to get a report that I can export into a merge document to print my subscription confirmations.

Hi Adria
A side point here - if you're trying to get Word Merge to produce a table-like output with a variable number of rows, as I think you are (your list of performances/seats/etc) - That's not something that the merge functionality in Word is really equipped to deal with. It's theoretically possible, using a bit of trickiness and vb coding, but after a few attempts, leading to tears before bedtime, I wouldn't try it again myself.
I think you'd be much better off trying to do this sort of thing as a report in Infomaker or SSRS, and if you don't have the report-fiddling skills in-house, I'd be looking at your friendlyTess consultant/s for a bit of help.
