Tax VAT : VAT rate that will be used for your event. To be selected among the dropdown elements. See : Institution | Initialisation | VAT Rates

Ticket model : Ticket model that will be used for the competition (applied for all the matches, if not overloaded at match level)

...

Allow ticket printing before seating : in the case of post seating, you can choose to still issue ticket even if no seat was allocated to the contact. This means that you will need either to handle the seating on event day or to issue a new ticket (that will invalidate the initial one) once the seating applied.

Internet description URL : link to an external page that will appear behind the More Information link. This link is displayed after the Public description on the ticketshop. It aims at directing people to a page where you would usually present the product or the competition. To be used with care as it takes users out of the funnel.

...

Audience type : usually kept on All public. For organization handling specific events for Kids, setting Kid in there will trigger the indicator Children Product, allowing you to easily target purchaser of those products.

See : Standard indicators

Otherwise this information can also be used through the API to group products together for example.

Time flexibility : in hours and minutes, this field allows you to set the amount of time FROM the beginning of the match until which you will still be able to sell ticket. For exemple, a time tolerance set as 00:45 will result in having the match still available for sale up to 45 minutes after kick off.

...

Tariff at which tickets belonging to a season ticket are resold on resale platform : when using SecuTix resale platform, you can set that the resale of any tickets coming from the season ticket related to this competition will be resold at a particular tarif. The benefit there is usually to make sure that anyone coming on the resale platform can purchase any tickets available. And not have a scenario where a ticket coming from a child season ticket can only be purchased by a child. The reseller will only be refunded of the amount of his ticket within his season ticket, and the delta between this price and the price paid by the purchaser will be kept by you. This field will be active with a tariff dropdown only if you set the parameter Tarrif modified for subscriptions on yes in the Organisation | Initialisation | Sales Channels | Points of sales | Internet parameter where the point of sales is the one used for your resale platform.

Countermark accepted : lors de l'achat d'un billet sans avoir choisi l'événement, ou on a choisi la séance exacte mais sans avoir choisi la place. emission d'une contremarqueImage Added

Countermark accepted : the feature related to this field is not active anymore.

Ticket producer : this field tells SecuTix whether or not a ticket has already been produced. If set on YES, then SecuTix will NOT generate any ticket at the moment of the sale. The use case is when you handle event for third parties, and you have been given directly (thermal) tickets from this 3rd party. You can still set these events in SecuTix and sell them from SecuTix to keep track and be able to report, but the ticket itself will not be a ticket generated from SecuTix. You will have to handle/send the tickets you received out of SecuTix.

...

Custom variables are to be created in Organisation | Initialisation | Custom Variables.
Custom variables are element you can display on ticket. They are usually used to display static information that can not be setup elsewhere in SecuTix. They are related to the fields Texte_Libre in the ticket editor. See Liste des variables dans l'éditeur de maquettes de billets

They can also be used through API and interfaces between SecuTix and 3rd party system, in order to setup in SecuTix sets of information that will be pushed and handled by the 3rd party system.

TixNGo for instance is using those fields to input the parameters such as the image or the url that will be displayed on the ticket in the TixNGo wallet.

Sub-groupings are to be defined in Organisation | Initialisation | Sub-topics. At this stage, you can associate a sub-grouping to your events. This sub-grouping can then be used through APIs to group product together for example.

This page is where you create your matches.

Calendar : you can select there one (to create one match at a time) or several (to mass create) dates on which you will create a match. Navigation buttons allow you to switch month and year. You can select a date by clicking on it directly.

Clicking on the head of the line will select the whole week, on the head of the colum all the related days of the month, and clicking on the month will select all the month.

Image AddedImage AddedImage Added

Schedule : once you have selected your day(s), you can set the start time of your matches by entering it in the field Time of the Schedule. Depending on what you have selected, you will have tickboxes on days matching your selection.

In this example, we have selected the whole month of April, so the schedule display tickboxes on every single day of the week. Setting 21:00 as time, i will create matches for which kick off will be at 21:00 each days of the month. A box ticked means the time set apply on the related day.

Image Added

It is possible to set several times and then to adapt the day for which each of them apply. In the example below, matches on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday will have kick off at 21:00 while on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday it will be at 19:00.

NB : if the box is ticked for 19:00 and 21:00, it means that there will be a match starting at 19:00 and another one starting at 21:00

Add : clicking on this button will create the matches (status Preparing) following all the parameters you have defined on this Calendar page.

Edit multi-performances : selecting one or several matches and clicking on this button will give you the ability to change the parameters you have set for one or several matches. You will access then the fields specifically for the selected matches. This is where you will be able to set a specific public description for a match instead of having to use the one potentially set at competition level for instance.

Check overlapping : when creating several matches on the same day, this button will check potential overlaps when the end of one match seems to happen after the beginning of another match in the same place. Mostly used in Live Events.

When using Charges (fees that apply per ticket), you can associate there your existing charge table. You will first need to specify for which rate type it will apply (only used rate type will appear in the dropdown), then select your charge table. Finally, you can specify on which sales channels those charges will be active. Either All sales channels or a List you can set up. You can apply different charges table on different sales channels.

See : Organisation | Catalog | Charges tables

This screen is for you to set the sales calendars that will apply for all the matches of your competition. You can have different sales calendar for different sales channel, or one for all sales channels.

See : Organisation | Catalog | Sales calendars

This is where you associate the set of rules regarding the selling of your competitions. Among the rules, the sales channels on which the competition will be available.

See : Organisation | Catalog | Activity Profile

From this menu, you can define payment methods that can be used to purchase this product.

The rule is as follow : it is the intersection of Point of Sales Payment Methods, Product Family Payment Methods (see : Institution | Initialisation | Payment Methods) and Product Payment Methods.

Thus, if you associate no payment methods in this screen, SecuTix will check for specific Payment Methods set at Product Family level. If none, it means that any Payment methods available on the point of sales will be usable for the product.

The payment method you associate at product level must be available at least on the point of sales. Otherwise nothing will happen.

So if you want to have a payment method that is only available for your season tickets for example, you need to associate this payment method to your point of sales AND associate it at product family level. That way this payment methods will only be available for your season tickets products on your point of sales.

Transport stops are for customers selling combined offers including leisure and public transportation. They may define which stations or stops belonging to a public transportation network allow to reach the product associated.

You can set in this screen your mappings regarding the competition you are creating for the different interfaces and batches you may have. Note : those mappings will only apply at competition level, not matches.

You can also set mappings directly in the related interface. See : Organisation | Tools

fields using those extra logos.

Then this field is to map logos and ticket logos for the case of this product/event/competition

Usually used for partners / sponsors /. Could be a visual alternative to comfort variables.

...

This menu is usually used to insert partners / sponsors logos when those can change from one competition to another.

This menu can be seen as visual comfort variables as ticket logos just have to be images. What is in the image itself depends on your imagination.

This menu can be hidden directly from operators rights if need be.

The validation step will make sure that you did not forget to set any mandatory information. In such a case, the message displayed will refer to what is missing. If nothing is missing it will proceed in the actual creation of the competition and its matches, that will become available for Running.

When using SecuTix Access Control, this screen allows you to synchronize directly the product you have just created with SecuTix Access Control.

The season of your product must already exist in the Access Control.

Obviously this screen is useful only if you have already sync your season with the Access Control, but created the product afterwards.
