Report Build Options Tabs (Reference)

Report Builder Window
Report Builder Window

Every report has a Search Tab to enter a database query and limit the records displayed when running a report. The remaining tabs in the Report Builder Window are different for each report as each report is uniquely customizable. This section outlines the part of commonly found customizing tabs. As the Invoice report is so frequently used and has it's own set of customizable options, please see the tab options on the Invoice report section.

Report Donation Receipt Tab   Top

Donation Receipt Tab
Donation Receipt Tab

This tab appears for tax receipt reports in the Donation tax receipts & Reports Category. It shares the standard navigation buttons and toolbar buttons shared across most Build Options Tabs.

Last Used Receipt Number

Indicates the next number that will be used when printing a receipt. The last receipt number is tracked in the Donations Tab of Company Preferences and this is rarely altered manually prior to printing the next batch of receipts.


Number Copies

The number of copies of each receipt to be printed. If you are printing:


Donation Campaign

You can select to print donation receipts:


Name/Company Like

Allows for the selection of patrons based on name/company. This selection criteria behaves exactly the same as finding patron in the patron list window if you want to see how many people may be selected. The more of the first, last and company you enter, the fewer patrons that will be selected.


Calendar Year

Allows selection of tax receipts only within a calendar year. The criteria differs depending on receipt type:

  • One Receipt Per Payment - This can be left blank. If so, all unprinted tax receipts dated prior to the current date will be selected that have not yet been printed.
  • Annual Statement Style tax receipts - this must be entered. All tax receipts for the patron for the current calendar year will be selected and printed on the statement, as long as both of the following are true:
    • There is at least ONE receipt for the calendar year that is unprinted.
    • The tax receipts are all for donations marked with receipt option of annual receipt.

Regular Name with Company

All tax receipts include the name of the patron. When checked, the tax receipts will also include the company in the patron record, if one exists.


Primary Email Address

Places the patron's primary email address (if they have one) onto the tax receipt. You can use this to print the receipt to PDF and then email that receipt to a patron. This field is NOT printed when the tax receipt for the campaign is configured to auto-email when the donation is given online.


Company Logo and Address

Will place the company logo (see Company Preferences) and the company address onto the tax receipt.


Receipt # on Forms

When checked, Theatre Manager will print the tax receipts with the receipt number on them. Turn this off if tax receipts with numbers pre-printed on them are being used (not an advised approach since maintaining receipt numbers on paper with those in TM is harder to do).


Campaign: Prompt

Determines if the phrase Campaign: appears in front of the campaign name on the receipt.


Official Tax Receipt Heading

You can add a title to printed/emailed tax tax receipts that indicates that the tax receipt is official. When printing multiple copies of a tax receipt in the same print/email request:

  • The first receipt will say Official Tax Receipt. In Canada, it will say Official Tax Receipt/Reçu Fiscal Officiel.
  • Second and subsequent tax receipts will indicate Copy for your records. In Canada, it will be bilingual Copy for your records/Copie pour vos archives.

This text cannot be modified. It always prints on e-receipts and can be optionally printed on batch printed tax receipts.


Comments for Receipts

Lets you change the comments printed at the bottom of a receipt. This comment will print on all receipts.

Report Price Code Options Tab   Top

Price Code Options Tab
Price Code Options Tab

It shares the standard navigation buttons and toolbar buttons shared across most Build Options Tabs.

Enabled for Performance

When selected, only the price codes that are currently enabled for the performance will appear in the report. For example if the pricing map has 4 pricing zones (1, 2, A and B) and only price zones 1 and A are currently enabled for sale in the performance, then only price zones 1 and A will appear on the report. To note, if you have sold tickets in price zone B and then disabled it, those tickets will not be shown on the report, but will appear in totals. You might want to use specific price zones to show only subscription tickets.


Actually Used to Sell Tickets

When selected, only the price codes with tickets sold to them for the performance are in the report. For example, if the pricing map has 4 pricing zones (1, 2, A and B) and tickets have been sold using only Price Code B, then only price zone B will appear on the report. To note, this leaves unused price codes off the report to condense it to show only those currently used on tickets.


Entered Here

When selected, a text field becomes active, allowing the user to specify price codes to be included on the report. For example, if the pricing map has 4 pricing zones (1, 2, A and B) and you type B, C and D (C an D do not exist, only B does), then price codes B (which may have tickets) and C and D (which won't have tickets) will appear on the report. Price codes C & D will have zeros for totals. To note, this option might be useful if you want specific price codes across venues and you did not use consistent price zones in each of the venues. Maybe in venue 1, price zones A and B are used for single tickets and in venue 2, price codes C and D were used by a predecessor for single tickets. This way, a report for two events, in different venues, would only show relevant price codes.
