Hey Everyone!
I work for a museum and we are trying to use flex packages as a build your own day for guests. Do any of you use flex packages in this way? I would like to pick your brain, if you do.
What I am trying to do is allow guests to basically add on two programs to their general admission. General admission is required. So I figured the best way to do this was via a flex package since it has so may features I need (requirement option for one performance and the ability to discount when a certain amount of performances are added). However, since I am doing this for daily admission, does this mean I have to do a Performance group and flex package for each day? I just want to make sure I am not making this harder on myself.
Also, I can have performances under different production seasons in the hierarchy as long as I put the Production Season to the same flex package season?
Any guidance or advice would be most helpful! Thank you!

You do need to have a performance group for every single day and one for each add on. Currently, the easiest way to do this is to set up one perf, one performance group, and one package for one day and then use the Product Builder tool in Season Manager to copy them all. Unfortunately, the only way to build the packages and perf groups in bulk is to create the perfs at the same time. I know we told them at TLCC last year that it would be really great to have the ability to copy/create packages in bulk without having to create the perfs because for us museum orgs we don't always know what add ons will be made availale when daily admissions are initially built.
Ah you rock! That was going to be my second question was there has to be an easier way to make these then manually! For us this process will be easier in v16 since they have the build-in add-on feature but until then flex packages it is!
