View Performance Revenue Online (How To)

Online Revenue Reporting
Online Revenue Reporting

You can enable specific personnel in the database to view event revenue through the online ticketing portal. This allows non-employees, like outside promoters and producers to have real-time access to ticket revenue.

There are 4 basic steps to setting up a Personnel Position to allow revenue to be viewed online:

  1. Setup the Personnel Activity inside Code Tables
  2. Add a Position to the Personnel record
  3. Add a Personnel Activity to the Personnel record for each Event/Performance
  4. Have the personnel (patron) log in to the online ticketing site to view the revenue reports

The Personnel Activity will be set up once and can be used for all personnel accessing promoter reports online. Adding a Position will need to be done for each Personnel requiring access to the reports online. Adding an Activity will be a repeatable step based on the event/performances the personnel should have access to. All personnel will follow the same steps to access the reports online.

Below is a step-by-step on how to enable Personnel Activities to view performance revenue.
