How to Apply Discounts to Resource Charges in Altru Group Sales
A school group books a field trip with a classroom rental and a lunch package. The teacher asks whether the Title I discount you advertise covers the room fee too. You go to apply it in Altru and find the discount lands on the admission tickets but leaves the resource charge at full price. That
How to Alert Staff with Notes in Altru Advance Sales and Group Sales
A school group’s coordinator asked for a wheelchair-accessible lunch space. A donor has asked never to be charged the convenience fee. A caller has two returned checks and should only pay by card. Someone on your team knows each of these things. The question is whether the person taking the next phone order or editing
Can You Change Daily Sales Button Colors in Altru? Options That Work
Ask any cashier who has worked a register with forty identical gray buttons on it, and they’ll tell you why color matters. Adult General Admission sits next to Adult Member Guest, the Senior and Student buttons look the same, and the add-on for the special exhibit is somewhere on the second row. Color is the
How to Scan Membership Cards for Event Check-In with Altru
Members’ night is the event where you most want a clean headcount, and it’s often the one where staff end up with a clipboard and a printed member list. Scanning the barcode on a membership card should take care of it. Whether it actually does depends less on the scanner and more on how the
How to Print the Altru Organization Calendar Without Screenshots
The morning huddle needs a sheet of paper: which programs run today, which rooms are booked, which school groups arrive at 10:15. The calendar in Altru has all of that, but getting it onto paper in a readable form is harder than it should be. Plenty of administrators end up taking screenshots and pasting them

How to Run a Waitlist for a Sold-Out Special Event in Altru
Your member preview night sold out in two days, and the phone keeps ringing. People want to know if they can get on a list in case someone cancels. Two weeks later, three registrants do cancel, and nobody can say who asked first. That’s the real problem a waitlist solves: a fair, ordered record of
How to Edit Special Event Registrations in Altru (and When You Can’t)
A donor buys two seats at your spring gala, then calls a week out: her guest changed, she wants to move up to the patron level, and she’d like the vegetarian meal. Three small changes. In Altru, each one can take a different route, and some of them are a lot harder than they sound.
How to Get Notified When an Altru Event Is Close to Selling Out
The usual way staff find out an event has sold out is not great: a guest emails asking why they can’t buy tickets, or someone at the front desk tries to sell a seat that isn’t there. By then the marketing team may still be running ads for it, and nobody has opened a waitlist.
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
