Reveal Dashboards

Reveal is the Theatre Manager web application that provides insights into your sales data and operations using graphical dashboard widgets. Graphs in the Reveal dashboards are LIVE. This means that when you are watching a dashboard, if ticket or donation is taken, it will change the appropriate graph in real time. If Reveal is already set up on your site, refer to Connecting to Reveal for more info. It will be a URL like: tickets.yourvenue.org/reveal/

Prerequisites for using Reveal

Reveal requires the following in order to be used:

1. Web Sales set up and running for your venue with an external domain pointing to it like tickets.yourvenue.org. It will require:
   • That you are using TM Server Nginx Setup for the main web server. Apache will not work and those computers will need migrated to TM Server.
   • some configuration of the Director, depending on your current TM Server setup - to get live charts.
2. An employee account set up in Theatre Manager with:
   • employee permission to use the REST api
   • employee data permission to:
     • manage and create dashboards.
     • manage widgets -AND-
     • permission to look at the data that the graph displays. EG: if the graph shows donation data, the employee must be able to see donation data, otherwise you might get an error like not authorized to view this chart
     • Note: Master users should have the above permissions automatically. You only need to provide explicit permission for Normal Users
   • a primary email address:
     • set up for the employee in the employee's contact card AND
     • demonstrated the ability to login to the online web store using it since the same email address and password are used to access Reveal dashboards
