She shared that she has been doing research about the donors and pasting the information into the Research Notes tab. Some other suggestions included keeping track of their university affiliation so you don&amp;#39;t send any references to the rival school, adding attributes for discrete bits of information you wanted to find out about lots of people because that is more easily searchable than notes, and adding Interests if you happen to learn what sort of shows the donor loves to watch. Any more ideas on how to get to know your major donors?</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: Wordfly and Prospect2 Integrations</title><link>https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/public-media-tessitura-community/f/discussions/27129/wordfly-and-prospect2-integrations</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 Feb 2021 20:17:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">fd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:0d524339-2f7d-4898-a9b2-9033a9f244ac</guid><dc:creator>Andrea Crain</dc:creator><description>Let&amp;#39;s continue the discussion from our meeting here! Some folks had questions about how Wordfly or Prospect2 integrate with Tessitura.

All of us want to do a customization to hold Passport viewing data, but we haven&amp;#39;t gotten started with it yet. Currently viewing data is being analyzed outside of Tessitura in spreadsheets and third party tools. While attributes are great for things like MVault tokens and activation dates, we are thinking a local table would be great to hold the passport viewing data itself, which we could then mine to assign interests based on shows &amp;amp; genres the person watched a lot.</description></item><item><title>Public Media Tessitura Community Informal Gathering 2/12</title><link>https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/public-media-tessitura-community/c/e/627</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 Feb 2021 19:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">fd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:f6667729-1e09-4958-8f1e-8db22ef751f5</guid><dc:creator>Leah Schier</dc:creator><description>Join us for our next Public Media Tessitura Community gathering!

I work at KERA in Dallas (a triple license station: PBS, NPR and AAA-format music). I was born in Fayetteville and lived in NC (with a brief stint on Hilton Head Island, SC) until I moved to TX in 1992. My formative years were through PBS NC. As a 1st gen Sesame Street kid, I hold NC public television dear to my heart. My mom is still a member there and sends me station communications from time-to-time. I&amp;#39;m happy that y&amp;#39;all are in the Tessitura network, too, and look forward to all of us learning from each other.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Welcome!

I&amp;#39;m brand new to public media and Tessitura. I joined PBS North Carolina on January 25th as the new Director of Integrated Fundraising. My background is in promoting traditional and digital fundraising strategies and best practices and coordinating with different departments to achieve effective multi-channel and dynamic campaigns and donor communications. I am a data nerd and enjoy working in CRMs but I am brand new to the nuances of Tessitura and public media. I look forward to working with this group to best use our new software and make it work hard for us.
