Set up and modify details of all your Programs.
A Program is the collective name given to a series of Events.
For example, a theatre may run a season with “King Lear” playing each night for 2 weeks.
So the Program name would be “King Lear” and the Events would be the individual performances.
To completely set up a Program with its associated pricing, you must follow the full procedure in the order listed below.
You can however partially complete the set up and resume where you have left off at a later time.
From the main menu bar, select
Click on the New button.
The main Program Maintenance window will appear.
In the Program field, type the name of your program.
A reference Code will be generated automatically.
From the Program category drop down box, select the category of your event.
In the Auditorium drop down box, select the auditorium where the event will be held from the list of auditoriums showing.
If the auditorium where your event is being held is not showing in the drop-down box, then you will need to create a new Auditorium by clicking on selecting the button with the red arrow at the right side of the box and follow the steps in Maintenance > Auditoriums to set up your Auditorium.
NOTE: If you are holding an event with the same Program Name in different Auditoriums, you must set up this up as duplicate Program and select the appropriate Auditorium(s).
It is normally best to give duplicate programs held in different venues a slightly different Program name so you can identify them more easily.
Furthermore, there are some situations where the Program name is printed without the corresponding date of performance being shown (such as when a Group ticket is printed for season subscriptions). So particularly if you are planning to set up season subscriptions, then you should ensure that each Program in the season is given a unique name.
The next step is to set up your Pricing map.
A Pricing Map is the main Venue map which has been divided into different Price Categories e.g. Front Stalls, Rear Stalls, Balcony etc.
Go to
Maintenance > Programs > Pricing Map for details on setting up your Pricing Map.
