IMPROVEMENT

Add hierarchical support for linking entities in TSsearchBO.

The TSsearchBO's 'hierarchy maximum depth level' field specifies the number of times that a new BI query will iterate over the entities. As the depth size increases, the number of available searchable fields each query increases dramatically.

 

Previously, entities could only be joined to the sub-entities that were defined, making it difficult to enable connections to child tables without significant configuration.

AVD-16721

AVD-17767

IMPROVEMENT

Desktop - Move Contracts from Event Configuration to Organization Management.

The contracts configuration in the Desktop has been moved from the Event Configuration application to the Organization Management application.

Organizations and contracts are both integral parts of the settlement process and thus belong together. This change also makes it easier to extend organizations and contracts to other sellable items like gifts and miscellaneous items in the future.

No functional changes were made as part of this update.

AVD-17290

IMPROVEMENT

Desktop - Improve the usability of the Event Configuration application Events|Ticket Usage page.

 

Functionally, the Event Configuration application Events|Ticket Usage page has not changed, but the page now operates in two distinct modes. A sliding toggle has been added at the top of the page to control the mode.

 

In the default, 'View Ticket Status and Seat History' mode the users can view the status of the seats (sold, printed and used), and they can generate the Seat History report with a single-click on a seat.

 

By switching the toggle, users can 'Force In-Flight Seats to Open Status'. In this mode, only in-flight seats (i.e. seats that have been added to an order that has not yet been created) are active. All other seats are disabled. User can click on any selection of seats in-flight, and use the 'Set to Open' button to force the admissions back to open status.

AVD-17343

IMPROVEMENT

Streamline the Desktop and Event Owner Portal's venue configuration by type

 

Event Configuration application Venue|Basic page

A new field called 'Type' has been added. The possible values are Reserved, General Admission and Reserved and General Admission (i.e. a mix of both). This value is used to dynamically change the workflow when creating venues, sections and events.

The venue type can be changed after a venue has been created, with two limitations:

1.If a General Admission section exists then the venue 'Type' cannot be changed to Reserved.

2.If a Reserved section exists then the venue 'Type' cannot be changed to General Admission.

The following six non-applicable fields are now hidden when the venue 'Type' is set to General Admission:

1.Detailed Image

2.Detailed X-Size

3.Detailed Y-Size

4.Default Screen

5.Display Options

6.Virtual Seatview Model

 

Event Configuration application Venue|Sections page

The 'Section GA Capacity' and 'Sys Section' fields are displayed and required if the venue 'Type' is set to General Admission; otherwise, they are hidden.

If the venue 'Type' is set to Reserved and General Admission, then a 'Section Type' field is exposed, where the user can select Reserved or General Admission. This value will determine if the 'Section GA Capacit'y and 'Sys Section' fields are displayed.

 

Event Configuration application Venue|Screens page

If the venue 'Type' is set to General Admission, then a message is displayed, indicating that screens are not required for GA venues.

 

Event Configuration application Venue|Seats page

If no screens have been configured, then a message is displayed, indicating that seats can only be added after screens have been configured.

When creating a block of seats, the 'Number of Rows' and 'Number of Seats' fields have been removed. The fields were from the earlier method of creating General Admission seats.

If the venue 'Type' is set to Reserved and General Admission, then the 'Section' dropdown, which is displayed when adding or editing seats, will only include sections with the 'Type' set to Reserved.

 

Event Owner Portal

The Event Owner Portal has been updated to set the venue type for all venues (called 'Locations' in the portal) to General Admission. This happens in the back end and is not exposed to the user.
