Hello all. My organization has been designing their own subscription renewal forms since we've been using Tessitura. We are now interested to see what the renewal forms look like as provided by Tessitura. Does anyone have a screen shot of such, or could point me to the like? From what I gather this is something I'll have to download and have our IT team install, but we'd like to get a look at it before we go to that trouble. Please correct me if Im wrong. Hope you can help. Thank you! -David Janeski
We also use SSRS to create our renewal forms. They can be printed individually on-demand or bulk printed all at once at the beginning of the renewal process. We have a blank template form printed and then use SSRS to fill -in and overprint the data fields. I've included samples below of how the data looks with and without the template form.
Thank you! A quick search turned up many more tutorials about SSRS than InfoMaker, so that may be the way to go. To get started do I need the Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Report Builder or... SQL Server 2012 Express? (Or perhaps something similarly named at the Microsoft download site?)
David -
For either form of reporting - if you are going to make any of the reporting/invoicing available through Tessitura - you want to be really careful to use the versions of the software that Tessitura is using.
For InfoMaker you have to purchase it, and there's information here:http://www.tessituranetwork.com/en/network/Products/New%20Technology%20Initiative/~/media/Files/Products/Next%20Gen/InfoMaker_v12_Pricing.ashx
Make sure you get 12.1 (which is 12.0 with a patch) and not 12.5 which is the latest release. There's a good forum thread with links to the patch here: http://www.tessituranetwork.com/Community/forums/t/5841.aspx
For SSRS reports you need to be using some form of Visual Studio 2008. There are some great T-Casts about making reports using SSRS:http://www.tessituranetwork.com/network/Learning/Webinars%20Archive/IT.aspx
