Access Groups   Top

Security levels or access groupings define functional groups of people as per the examples in the screen below. These access groups can be as broad as a department or as specific as a person or two. To use this feature, you need to do three things:

  1. Create a list of departments of access groups to suit your needs in this code table.
  2. Assign an employee to one or more access groups.
  3. Assign a specific record to one or more groups using the access field on each record. If the employee matches any one of the groups, they will be able to see the data. This applies to:
    • Donation Records
    • Ticket Sales
    • Ticket Reporting
    • Tasks
    • Mail Lists
    • Donation Campaigns
    • Play Access
    • Performance Access
    • Volunteer Activities
    • and more

Country   Top

The Countries in the Code Table list appear in the Country drop down list in the patron window, default data, maps, web sales, and other places using the Country drop down list in Theatre Manager. you can shorten the list by setting countries to inactivate, or if a country is not a system country, it can be deleted from the Code Table. If a country is not in the Code Table, it can be added. For system countries, Theatre Manager has built in controls for phone numbers, postal codes, and more. Currently, these are Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand. Depending on the region, defaults can be set. For more information on setting a country as a default in the Company Defaults, click here.

Course Attendance Reason
Course Attendance Reason

Attendance Reason
This is a short description to appear online in the patrons' attendance record (e.g. away or sick).

Expanded Description
This is a longer description for lists for the attendance reason (e.g. cannot attend - personal reason or caught the current flu going around).

Status
Staff can use all reasons that are active, including those marked not patron usable.

Patron Usable
If this flag is set, then a patron can use this excuse to set their own attendance to a class within a course using the online module. For example, if a student could not attend one day in a drama class, ballet class, swim class or Pilates session they can indicate why they cannot come so that the instructor knows who will be present that day.

Default Posting Accounts   Top

Specific general ledger asset and income accounts are required to be defined prior to Creating Sales Entries and performing Deposits. Refer to the section General Ledger Accounts to create the account information.

Because these code table values are defaulted, you may not insert a new default account or delete an existing account, however, you can edit an existing account. The result values are the types of default accounts that must be set up in Theatre Manager.

You must assign a General Ledger Account number to each of the defaulted values. The general ledger accounts you use must be created to carry out the sole purpose of the default value. For example, once you have an accounts receivable account, that account will only be used as an accounts receivable account.

NOTE: The donation main bank account and the transfer bank account have special meaning and cannot be the same. Refer to the help pages on setting up Restricted Donation Accounts for more information. For more information about editing values in Code Tables, click here.

Special Accounts for Outlet Setup   Top
Special Accounts
Special Accounts

Please take care setting up the accounts below. They are designed to act like revolving accounts for sales and receivables. If setup up properly, the periodic outlet balancing process should be relatively straight forward.

A/R Ticket Sales Other Outlets Owe You

  • Account Type: Asset
  • What Happens in Your Outlet
    • If you allow another outlet to sell your tickets, an entry will be made to this account for the amount that they owe you This is why it is normally an Asset account (receivables). The offset account of the tickets will be the account in the accounting tab of the event setup window.
  • What Happens in the Other Outlet
    • The other outlet will have taken the payment for the tickets, and they will owe you the money. In general, tickets the other outlet sells is owed to you, less commissions.
      • The payment is debited the asset accounts (in their books) that they have set up in the payment code tables under their outlet.
      • The offsetting credit will be the A/P Ticket Sales Owes to Other Outlets. This is described below.

A/R Commissions Owed from Other Outlets

  • Account Type: Asset
  • What Happens in Your Outlet
    • When you sell tickets for another outlet, you can receive a commission for the sale (if they set one up in Commission Setup). The amount that the other outlet owes you:
      • Is debited in this receivables account
      • Is credited to the special Commission Income account (below)
  • What Happens in the Other Outlet
    • Commission setup has an accounting tab. When a commission is owed to an outlet, the accounts in the commission tab are used for the outlet:
      • Commission Cost of Sales is debited
      • Outlet Payable Account is credited

A/P Ticket Sales Owed to Other Outlets

  • Account Type: Liability
  • What Happens in Your Outlet
    • This is the account used to track money you owe to the other outlet after selling one of their tickets. It is the reverse of the description of the A/R Tickets Sales Other Outlets Owe You. Essentially, your outlet:
      • Puts money for the sale into your bank
      • Owes the other outlet
  • What Happens in the Other Outlet
    • This is also the reverse of the description of the A/R Tickets Sales Other Outlets Owe You.

Commission Income from All Other Outlets

  • Account Type: Income
  • What Happens in Your Outlet
    • When you sell a ticket for another outlet, any commission due to you is offset into this account.
  • What Happens in the Other Outlet
    • When another outlet sells your tickets, the commission payable is placed into the account in the commission setup.

Facility Resource Sub Groups   Top

Resource Sub Groups are sub categories of resources within a resource group in Theatre Manager's Facility Management module. Resources can be grouped under different headings. The default heading in Theatre Manager is the Generic Resource. Click for more information about Resources, Inventory, and Merchandise.

Resource Sub Groups are intended to be sub-classifications within a resource group when items are sold online. For example, a resource group of Merchandise might have subgroups like men's t-shirts, women's t-shirts, and hats. When inventory resources re-assigned to the subgroup, they are lumped together online making it easier for people to buy something. In the men's t-shirts example, all items that category will be limped together and a popup will show the sizes and colours, so that all a patron has to do is select the size.

Order Reasons to Buy   Top

The Reasons to Buy (or why did patron buy) code table is used to record what made the patron purchase tickets. This code table is used on the Payment Window and can help determine the effectiveness of the marketing tools your company is using. (You can make collection of this data mandatory for all orders by enabling the reason to buy option in System Preferences.)

It is recommended that this code table be somewhat specific and contain between 10 and 25 key possible reasons for why patrons buy from your organization. Examples might be:

  • some newspaper sources
  • some social media sources
  • some sources based on annual activities like subscriptions, fundraiser, or donation
  • some sources based on referrals like friends

The Revenues by Why Did Patron Buy Report is a great way to summarize this data for relevant events and periods of time. For more information about editing values in Code Tables, click here.

Order Reason to Buy
Order Reason to Buy
Available at   Top

Box Office
Should likely be checked for most reasons, but may not be checked for reasons like Facebook Referral. You may also want to disable seasonal things when not appropriate such as Subscription or Christmas Flyer and then enable them again when appropriate.

Internet
Should be unchecked for reasons that a customer should not pick online (e.g. forgot to ask).

Development
Use options that indicates the order is for donations (e.g. if the word donation is in the reason to buy list, it is probably sufficient). This options should be active, and has the Available on internet box unchecked, so it cannot be picked during online ticket orders. It is placed in the tmcheckoutdonationreasontobuy.html web page for donation only online orders.


Pass/G.C. Card Status   Top

Patron Location   Top

The Code Table Patron Location is used to categorize the locations or categories that can be found though-out patron data entry for phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses, and website addresses.

For addresses, you can indicate if Company/Title should be printed on the address label or Letter address. This field would be checked for work addresses, and not for home. If the company name is not marked to be printed on an address (here in code tables), it never will for labels or letters.

Patron Location
Patron Location

Patron Location Example
Every code table can have a default value indicated by the • icon at the left of the code table entry. This is important to set for the Location table as it affects which location is used by default. In this example:

  • Home is the default location, so it will appear in the new patron entry screen.
    • Phone numbers so the default for all phone numbers entered at the box office is home. If you don't want that for a specific phone number, you much change it on the patron window.
    • E-mail, which is shown as the default for email entry.
    • Website, which is shown as the default for websites.
    • Address, which is shown as the default for addresses. Home is not allowed for fax in this example. The default for fax will be one of other locations that allows fax numbers.

Default Locations Used on the website (for new patrons) Locations on the web are a bit more granular and refer to the code tables for values, but do not use the code tables for position of usage. For example, on the web you may want to:

  • Only allow certain items to be entered.
  • Duplicate some of them (like allow entry of multiple phone number).
  • Change the order in which they are presented.

To do this, you edit the file called constantPATRONCONTACTNEW.txt that is in the tmTemplates folder. In that file, you would have a number followed by a tab, followed by the name of the location from the code table. The number reflects the meaning of the contact data. Always put Email first. The following is an example:

  • 4 tab Home where
    • 4 means email per the legend
    • Home is the value to use which must exist in code tables and be valid for that entry

So a reasonable list of entries are:

  • Number - Value: Description
  • 4 - Home: the default email address is home as it does at the top of the new patron web page.
  • 1 - Home: the default mailing address is also home, which goes in the address section of the web page. If you put a second address in this table, you could allow patrons to enter a work address or leave it blank.
  • 2 - blank: a blank entry means take the default location for a phone from the code tables. In the example of the code table above, it would also be home.
  • 2 - Work: means add a second entry field for another phone number and label it Work.
  • 2 - Cottage: means add a third entry field for another number and label it Cottage. The above table do not have any entry for 3 (faxes) or 5 (websites), so those options will not be presented to the user.

Default Locations Used on the website (for existing patrons)

There is a similar file called constantPATRONCONTACTEXISTING.txt with the same rules for existing patrons. Theatre Manager will always show all the data in the patron record and no more. If you want to have some empty fields for additional data, you can add more to the template. For example, if you want to allow up to 3 phone numbers, then you might have a table of:

  • 2 tab Home
  • 2 tab Work
  • 2 tab Mobile

Theatre Manager will fill the appropriate ones in from the patrons record and leave blank ones it cannot find, so the patron may add them if they wish.

Default Locations Used on the Website (for existing patrons)

There is a similar file called constantPATRONCONTACTLIMITED.txt with the same rules if you are using limited profile patrons to specify what those phone or emails will be called when a patron fills them in.

Patron Salutations   Top

The Patron Salutations code table is used to maintain the salutations on the patron and employee windows:

  • Default Gender
    • Setting the gender allows the gender to be automatically tagged in the patron's record when a salutation is applied to a patron's record. Then there is no guessing as to who you are talking with. Gender can be used in search criteria for reports, exporting and mail lists and are created in the gender table.
  • Status
    • Allows the salutation be changed between Inactive or Active. Some salutations are not changeable and are marked as Permanent or System. This field is searchable.
  • Available At

Sort Order
Allows you to organize the payment method display order where payments are listed online and at the box office. This way you can put your commonly used items at the top of the list. Sort order is 10 characters, alphabetic.

Payment Types
Are one of:

  • CREDIT CARD - can be used with merchant providers or EMV devices to authorize cards. You must have contracted with your merchant provider to use each card type you want to accept. There are some specific values for the payment code if the payment type is Credit Card. This will ensure that Theatre Manager validates for the required number of digits for each card type, and have the correct numeric algorithm. An error message is displayed if the numbers are not entered correctly, to assist card entry. (Before changing the merchant provider for a credit card payment method, please read about the ramifications.) The card type options are:
    • VISA - for Visa
    • MCARD - for Mastercard
    • DISC - for Discover
    • DCCB - for Diners Club
    • INTERAC - for Interac (debit) in Canada
      • Currently only supported for Moneris EMV cards
      • You cannot accept INTERAC without using an EMV device
      • This method is removed from the payment list when doing refunds, but it can be used for EMV refunds since the choice of refund method is then based on the card the patron actually uses
    • JCB - for JCB cards
    • UPAY - for Union Pay (Chinese branded)
  • EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) - can be used, amongst other things, for post dated payments and produce an export file during end of day. The export file is formatted to your bank and will cause funds to be transferred from patrons to your account.
  • SYSTEM - 7 special built-in system payments that cannot be deleted (only inactivated) like cash, check, voucher, pass/gift certificate redemption and gift in kind. They cause Theatre Manager to behave in a distinct way and ask for special data to be entered for that payment method. These built in payment methods are:
  • OTHER - can be used for any other payment methods such as intra-campus PO's or payment entered in another system and recorded in TM, those which cannot be accommodated in the standard payment methods.

Promotion Sales Groups   Top

Sales Promotions can be grouped into letter codes to help make them easier to read on a report. By assigning a letter to a group of Sales Promotions, you can categorize them in a report by their similarities. For example, you can use the letter S to indicate all the Season Sales Promotions (Early Bird, Season, Flex Season) into one category. Then when running reports, you can run them based on Report Subtotal Group S, rather than selecting the promotions one by one. In addition, when running full reports on an event, you can subtotal all your:

  • A - Single Ticket Sales (e.g. regular, 2 for 1, General Admission).
  • D - Special Benefit Promotions (e.g. Dinner, Opening Gala, Development Events).
  • G - Group Tickets (e.g. Senior homes, Brownies).
  • M - Media Tickets (e.g. Critics, Editors).
  • S - Season Tickets (e.g. Early Bird, Season).
  • Z - Comp Tickets (Listed with a 'Z' so they appear last in reports)

You can create your own categories and/or set names for these categories, so they are more meaningful to your organization. For more information about editing values in Code Tables, click here.

Province/State Code   Top

The Province/State Code Table is a list of Provinces and States in North America and recognized American states throughout the world. This list is primarily used for Web Sales.

The name Province can be changed to State (and vice versa) in the Appearance tab of Company Preferences. For more information on changing the title click here. Altering the Sort Value allows you to determine whether Provinces or States appear at the top of the list. They are assigned to Groups which sorted alphabetically. Each Province/State is then sorted numerically within the group.

For example, Provinces might be in Group 'A', and States in group 'B'. Within the Group, you would assign the Provinces A01, A02, A03, etc. The States would be given Sort Values of B01, B02, B03, etc. Since A comes before B, the Provinces would come above the States in the list. American users would do the opposite.

Depending on the region a default can be set. For more information on setting a Province or State as default click here. For more information about editing values in Code Tables, click here.
