Locate and select the Template section of your blue Folder, in the template area right-click the template you want to use and select Copy / Import.

On the Copy / Import window first select the Copy Type you are here to copy to a new event or if you want to copy this template to a new blue folder, in this case, select Event. Under Copy details select how much of this template you want to use, and select Price to use the entire template.

In Copy to Organization select the folder this event is being built in regardless of where the template was found. Click Copy Reoccurring button along the bottom row to set your dates and times for this event.

On the Recurring Dates window use the Start Date field to select the date of the first or only showing for this event. Go ahead and set the start time here to save yourself a step later.

In the Recurring Event section check the day or days of the week this event will be held. For Through select the date of the last time this will run and you have now set the entire run. Given these parameters, the system will create this event for every day it can find between your two dates. Click OK.

Back on the Copy / Import screen, your dates will be loaded in the show preview window where you will see the dates and times of all the events you are creating. You will need to give these events a name in the External Name and Internal Name fields, hit tab after external to have internal autofill.

You will get a window where you may save the import file that was just generated to use again later. This can be skipped but is advised for large imports with many shows to avoid a little snag forcing you to start over.

The last step using this method is to activate the sales channels for this event.  Locate the Events section of your blue folder and right-click the event you just created in the Event area to get to the Properties.

Navigate to the Sales Channel tab and put a check next to each one you would like to activate.

This is what adding a new Event Type will look like, click Add New and OK when you are done to return to the previous screen.

On this tab, the first setting of note is Show Tier Color on Web Sales which will add the color assigned at the tier level to be present beside that ticket tier online.

Clickable Section - This option asks customers to first pick a tier such as Balcony or Orchestra then lets them pick a seat in that section.

Seat Selection - This option presents seat selection first for when you only have one tier such as Reserved.

The three prompt fields allow you to change what those buttons display online without any special coding. The More Info, Purchase, and Add To Cart buttons can all be changed here on the Web Control tab.

The Display Message at Available Qty check box is used to determine at what inventory level you want online sales to stop. When set and enabled this will cause your display message from Tier/Inventory and Sales Channels to appear at the designated threshold. This message will be "Sold Out" by default.

On the Web Descriptives tab, the first field is Event Name Secondary Text and will add text to the header that displays the name of your show. Event Date Secondary Text will load additional text below the date for this show. Event Info Short Description will load in place of the full description where space is restricted.

The Ticket Type Selection Prompt field allows you to change the wording in places where those words would have appeared. In this case, you can replace the words above your ticket selections as seen in the example below. Tier Type Selection Prompt does the same thing for that phrase.

The Web Availability Tab will display anything you put here as an information pop-out when your inventory reaches zero online.

The Description tab holds the description for this show and will be displayed online for customers who view the full details.

The Custom Properties tab holds information on film and cast but you have limitless access to add new groups and fields to this tab. Information placed here will load on the full show page as seen in the example below. Use These Instructions to add new custom properties.

The Included Shorts tab is where you can tie in any number of shorts that will play as a collection or before/after this show. To add a short you must first build them and then use the Green Plus button to launch the Related Event Selector window.

On the Related Event Selector window find the blue folder your shorts were built in and select it, this will load those shorts into the Shorts area below. Select as many shorts as you want to attach and hit OK to add them to this show.

These shorts will now be on the shorts tab and will show up on the full show page with a button customers can click to learn more about this short as seen in the example below.

Anything on the Notes tab is internal and only for reference.

Click OK to Save and close this event.

You will be started on the General tab and the first option to be addressed is Sales Line Type which defines the actual items being sold. For events and shows your default will be Admission to denote ticket sales but you can add more Sales Line Types Here if you find that you need them. Tier Name can be anything you want but must be unique for this template and is customer facing so Admission is a common choice. New Tier Names can be added using the Ellipses.

The next text field is Zero Available Qty Message and if you turned on the Display Message at Available Qty option in the pervious section or sell out this is the message that will be shown to customers instead of "Sold Out". Below that is the Show Available Qty On Web check box which when checked will display this shows inventory online for customers to see.

The Tier Priority determines where on a list this Tier will appear if this template will have multiple Tiers. A Tier Priority of 0 will have this Tier at the top of the list and the higher the number used the further down the list it will be pushed. Color here works just as in the previous section but can be segmented further if needed, leaving this blank will default to the setting of the higher level.

Next is Time Based Tier which is usually paired with the Event show type to create windows of entry with smaller inventory pools. This setting can be used to create tour groups of a more manageable size throughout the day. The Enabled box should be left checked or this Tier will not be available to sell.

With all of that in place it's time to decide if this Tier will be General Admission or Reserved Seating. If you do not check this box this Tier will only accept inventory information from a seating map and this setting can not be changed without rebuilding the Tier. The Initial Default Inventory is how much open inventory you want this Tier to start with. Click Apply to save all these changes and create your inventory pool.

General Admission will now be locked in and you can add more inventory by right-clicking in the Inventory field and selecting New. Clicking Add New will start this process over again for shows with more than one Tier and OK will save all settings and close so you can begin creating prices.

You will be started on the General tab and presented with a list of prices you previously created, if your price field is empty or missing one you need to follow These Instructions to create new ones. Click the Price you want to select it.

The Sales Channel drop-down may contain several options but they will break down into one of three categories. Your ticket will need to be built separately for each Sales Channel you want to have in use.

AMS or Agent Managed Sales - In-house method and will usually be sold at a PoS terminal.

Web  - Any price that customers will access online.

Gate Control - This happens in-house but will be on a handheld scanning device such as an iPhone.

Leave Enabled checked unless you want this price unavailable by default.

The Ticket Type is next and is what customers will see online or printed onto their tickets and you can use the Ellipses to add any not already on the list. The Include Service Fee box should only be active if you have a blanket service fee built and not if your Fee is built as part of the ticket price.

The Functional Area is used to restrict a price with a 0 being not restricted at all and a 4 being completely hidden. Restricted level 1-3 prices can be unhidden by benefits and promotion codes as where level 4 will only be useable with assignment policy or behind-the-scenes measures.

The next step is to assign a ticket format using the Event Ticket Format drop down and your starting options will be General Admission and Reserved Seating. The key difference between those two options is that Reserved Seating will have room for seating information and General Admission will not. Use the Ticket Preview button (Golden ticket and magnifying glass) to see all of the elements that will be present on this ticket when printed.

The Display Sequence here is again used to order your prices with a 0 being at the top of the list and higher numbers appearing further down. Best practice is to give a lower number to prices that will be hidden so that when your customer meets the requirement to unhide them they will appear at the top of the list and not the bottom where it can be missed. The Quantity Restriction can be used to set a Minimum and Maximum order amount which is great for group ticket discounts.

This process will have created a complete price so you are now ready to click Apply to save. To more quickly re-create this event price for another sales channel click the Add New button which will open these settings back up to changes. Swap your Sales Channel to one you have not created yet for this ticket type and click apply again. Use OK when you're done creating for this price to save and close.

While it is possible to put this show on sale now this will be the last step after adding inventory and pricing. Click the red Save Changes at the bottom left to finalize creation, it will flash green as everything saves and settle blue when you can close this window.

You will be started on the General tab and the first option to be addressed is Type which defines the items being sold. For events and shows your default will be Admission to denote ticket sales but you can add more Sales Line Types Here if you find that you need them. Name can be anything you want but must be unique for this template and is customer-facing so Admission is a common choice. New Names can be added by typing in this field.

Next, decide how many tickets you want to sell to the general public and put that number in the Open field, this is the only inventory online orders will sell from. Artist Holds, Hold, and Manager Holds three ways to say you are not selling these tickets, the box office can sell these but they will not be available online. Wheelchair and Companion will only be available to customers who elect to see ADA seating. Social Distance Buffer isn't an inventory pool and is instead a way to automatically create a bubble of empty seats around a group of purchased tickets.

Last is Time Based Tier which is usually paired with the Event show type to create windows of entry with smaller inventory pools. This setting can be used to create tour groups of a more manageable size throughout the day. The Enabled box should be left checked or this Tier will not be available to sell.

Before clicking Accept to save these changes you can double-check your work by looking at the summary of changes above that button.

You will be started on the General tab at Buyer Type which is also called the Sales Channel. The Buyer Type drop-down may contain many options but they will break down into one of three categories. Your ticket will need to be built separately for each Buyer Type you want to have in use.

AMS or Agent Managed Sales - In-house method and will usually be sold at a PoS terminal.

Web  - Any price that customers will access online.

Gate Control - This happens in-house but will be on a hand-held scanning device such as an iPhone.

For Name either click and type or use the drop-down menu to select from previously used names. This is a customer-facing field and will print on tickets, best practice is for your Price and Name to be similar or the same. Selected Price presents a list of prices you previously created, if your selected price field is empty or missing one you need follow These Instructions to create new ones.

Sequence here is again used to order your prices with a 0 being at the top of the list and higher numbers appearing further down. Best practice is to give a lower number to prices that will be hidden so that when your customer meets the requirement to unhide them they will appear at the top of the list and not the bottom where it can be missed. Minimum Per Order and Maximum Per Order allow you to set the required amounts for ticket purchasing, this setting is great for group tickets which usually offer a lower price point for groups over a certain size.

The next step is to assign a ticket format using the Print Format drop down and your starting options will be General Admission and Reserved Seating. The key difference between those two options is that Reserved Seating will have room for seating information and General Admission will not. Use the Ticket Preview button (open eye) to see all of the elements that will be present on this ticket when printed.

Check the Restricted check box if this price should only be available to certain groups or individuals. Once checked web online customers will only have access to this price with a benefits or promotion code. Include Service Fee will attach a prebuilt service fee to this price instead of building that into the price up above.
