Creating custom value fields on the Ticket Template

SecuTix gives you the ability to create custom fields on the Ticket Template. To be specific, this means you can:

 

  • Combine multiple values into one (For example: First Name + Last Name)

Example Custom Value: ${Contact_title} ${Contact_firstName} ${Contact_name}

Result:  Mr Mickey Mouse

 

  • Combine values with standard text (For example: £[Value])

Example Custom Value: £${Amount_unitAmount}

Result:  £40.00

 

  • Combine both values and standard text (For example: Host Team vs Visiting Team)

Example Custom Value: ${Performance_hostTeam} v ${Performance_opposingTeam}

Result:  Saracens v Exeter Chiefs

 

  • Manipulate values (Date and Time)

Example Custom Value: ${Performance_startDate;format=EEEE d MMMM yyyy;language=${Institution_language}}

Result:  Wednesday 9 April 2018

 

Example Custom Value: ${Performance_startDate;format=EE d MMMM yyyy;language=${Institution_language}}

Result:  Wed 9 April 2018

 

Example Custom Value: ${Performance_startDate;format=EE d MMMM yy;language=${Institution_language}}

Result:  Wed 9 April 18

 

Example Custom Value: ${Performance_startDate;format=EE d MMM yy;language=${Institution_language}}

Result:  Wed 9 Apr 18

 

Example Custom Value: ${Performance_startDate;format=EE d MM yy;language=${Institution_language}}

Result:  Wed 9 04 18

 

Example Custom Value: ${Ticket_generationDate;format=dd/MM/yyyy}

Result:  09/04/2018

 

  • Manipulate values (Other fields)

Example Custom Value: ${Ticket_taxNumber;min=5}  = Field Ticket_TaxNumber, but starting from character 5 onwards

Ticket Number: 123456789

Result: 56789

 

Example Custom Value: ${Ticket_taxNumber;min=totaldigits - 6}  = Field Ticket_TaxNumber, display last 6 digits

Ticket Number: 123456789000

Result: 789000

Using Contact Criteria within the Ticket Template Designer


Within SecuTix, it is possible to user the Contact Criteria of a customer to drive the visibility of items within the Ticket Template. An example is below.

 

Contact criterions can also be used as a value to display on the ticket.

Example criterion:
Contact_criterion;array_code=[PerPref=‘Hypologica13';Hall=‘Halle14‘;Stand=‘A52’]

Here we have three criterions (PerPref, Hall and Stand) with text values. To display them on a ticket, use a custom value, with this syntax:

${Contact_criterion;array_code=PUT_YOUR_CRITERION_CODE_HERE}
