How to Change the Host on a Preregistered Program in Altru
A parent books a birthday party package, a teacher reserves a workshop, a scout leader signs up a troop. Two weeks later the call comes in: “Actually, my sister is hosting,” or “I’m leaving the school, please put it under my colleague.” On a preregistered program in Altru, that sounds like a one-field edit. Often
Turning Preregistration On and Off for an Altru Program
Here’s the short version: in many Altru setups, whether a program collects registrant details is decided when the program is built, and there’s no simple switch to flip it back and forth once tickets are on sale. If you need a program to require registration in some seasons and not in others, you’ll usually manage
How to See Which Discount Was Applied to an Order in Altru
A guest calls to ask why they paid $38 for two adult tickets when the website says $24 each. You open their order in Altru, see the line items and the total, and still can’t say which discount was applied, or whether one was applied at all. The math tells you something came off. The
How to Embed Altru Web Forms on Your Website: Links, Iframes, and Limits
You’ve built a membership or donation form in Altru, it works, and now the web team wants it to sit inside your own site instead of sending visitors off to a page that looks nothing like the rest of it. The question sounds simple: where’s the embed code? The honest answer is that it depends
How to Set Ticket Fees by Program and Sales Method in Altru
A convenience fee that makes sense on a Saturday general admission ticket can feel wrong on a free member preview, a school field trip, or a sold-out fundraiser. Fee policy at most cultural organizations isn’t one rule. It’s a set of rules that vary by what’s being sold and how it’s being sold. The challenge
How to Print Altru Membership Cards and Letters in the Same Order
The cards come off the printer in one order and the letters come off in another. Now someone is standing at a folding table, matching “Alvarez, M.” on a card to “Alvarez, M.” on a letter, two hundred times, and hoping nobody’s card ends up in a stranger’s envelope. That’s the mailing day this article
How to Split One Payment Across Multiple Group Reservations in Altru
A school district mails one check for six field trips. A tour operator wires a single deposit to cover three dates next spring. In group sales the money and the reservations rarely line up one to one. Getting that one payment recorded correctly against several reservations in Altru takes some planning, and moving a payment
How to See Where a Query Is Used in Altru Before You Change It
You open the query list to tidy up and find something called “Members copy 2 FINAL (use this one).” Nobody remembers who built it. It might feed the monthly renewal mailing, or it might be dead weight from three development directors ago. Before you edit or delete it, you want to know one thing: what
How to Collect Custom Registration Info on Altru Special Event Forms
You’re setting up the spring gala, a members’ preview night, or a behind-the-scenes tour. The guest list is the easy part. What you really need is a meal choice, a dietary note, the name of each guest in the party, whether someone uses a wheelchair, or which session they want to attend. Then you open
How to Delete or Retire Old Event Locations in Altru
The old classroom became a gift shop three years ago, yet “Education Room B” still shows up in the location list every time someone sets up an event. A staff member picks it by mistake, the confirmation email sends families to a room that no longer exists, and someone spends the morning making phone calls.
