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:
- Setup the Personnel Activity inside Code Tables
- Add a Position to the Personnel record
- Add a Personnel Activity to the Personnel record for each Event/Performance
- 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.
Setup Personnel Activity Top
Open Code Tables
- From the File Menu, select Setup -> System Tables -> Code Tables
Select Personnel Activity
- From the list on the left, select Personnel Activity
- After selecting Personnel Activity the options on the right will change
Create a New Entry
- From the Code Tables window, select New from the toolbar
- This will open up the Personnel Position Detail window
- NOTE: An existing activity can be updated if an available naming convention exists. In this example, we're using an industry-standard title of "Promoter" for the remainder of this exercise
Duties Tab
- On the Duties tab of the Personnel Activity window, in the Activity field, enter "Promoter" (or any similar description that works best for your organization)
- Enter a short description in the Default Duties text field
Edit Web Permissions
- Select the Web Permissions tab
- Under Permitted To check View Performance Revenue
Edit Facility Tab
- Select the Facility tab
- Enter a GL code for the Cost of Goods field
- Enter a GL code for the Income Account field
- These two GL fields pertain to the Facility Managment Module and require a GL account to be entered before a new Personnel Activity can be saved.
- Close the window to save.
This completes the Personnel Activity portion of the setup
Add Position to Personnel Record Top
Create/Open the Patron Record
- This step assumes the individual who is being granted the View Performance Revenue access already has a Patron Record in the database. If they do not, create one.
Ensure Patron Has An Email Address
- To log into the online ticketing system the patron will require an email address
- If a new patron record is being created, or, a new email address is being entered, users can click the Reset Password button on the Contact Info tab of the Patron Record. This will send a Password Reset Email to the patron so they can log in for the first time.
Open the Personnel Module
- Click the Personnel button in the toolbar
- This will open the Personnel Position window
Add New Activity
- Click the New button on the Position tab
- This will open up the Activity Detail window
Add Promoter Position
- From the Position pull-down menu, select the "Promoter" option
- The remaining fields can be filled out but are not required
- When ready, click the Save button or close out of the window
Add Activity to Personnel Record Top
Insert New Promoter Activity
- From the Personnel History tab, click the New button
- This will open the "Promoter History" window
New Promoter History Window

Add Event

Duties Field

- With the Event, Role and Duties fields now filled in, users can close the window
- This will take you back to the Personnel Activity History window
Completed Personnel Activity Window
- The Personnel Activity History should now have:
- In the upper Position tab, the Activity should now list "Promoter"
- In the lower Promoter History tab, an entry for Promoter that includes the event you wish to grant View Performance Revenue permissions to
This completes adding the Personnel Position and Activity to the Patron Record
