In this article, we'll cover:

This process should take around an hour to complete, depending on how familiar you are with navigating Setup.

Let's give internal users access to Non-Ticketed Member Admission

To do this, we'll first build a Permission Set, then assign it to our users.

If you've already set up Non-Ticketed Member Admission and are coming back to this article because you need to grant access to new users, you'll assign them the "PMGR Member Admission" Permission Set from their User page in Setup.

Steps to optimize Non-Ticketed Member Admission:

1. Launch the PMGR Member Admission app

The PMGR Member Admission App is a custom workspace for museum member admission.  Get there via the App Launcher - we'll use it throughout this whole article.

2. Add the Member Lookup tab

The Member Lookup tab helps you and your staff find your patrons and admit them quickly.  To add this feature, we'll create a new Lightning page, then we'll add it to the Member Admission app.

Click here to add the Member Lookup tab
1. First, create a Member Lookup page

1.1. Click the Setup Gear in the upper right hand side of the page and select Setup

1.2. Search for and click on Lightning App Builder

1.3. Click "New"

1.4. Select App Page and click Next

1.5. Enter "Member Lookup" as your Lightning Page label and click Next

1.6. Select the first design - Header and Left Sidebar

1.7. Search for "contact", drag "contactLookup" from the Custom section onto the page layout, then click Save

1.8. Click Activate when this pops up

1.9. Make sure the page is set to "Activate for all users", then click Save

1.10. Click Finish when this pops up

Don't worry - we're about to do what it's asking of us.

1.11. Alright!  You're halfway there!

2. Next, add your new Member Lookup Page to the Member Admission app

2.1. Click Back

2.2. Search for and click on "App Manager"

2.3. Find the PMGR Member Admission App, click the down arrow on that row, and Edit

2.4. Select Navigation Items, search for "member", then click Member Lookup

2.5. Finally, use the arrow to move Member Lookup into the Selected Items list, then click Save

2.6. Nice work - you just made everyone's lives a lot easier!

3. Finally, reorder the tabs so Member Lookup is the first tab you see when you open the app

3.1. Click the pencil in the upper right corner

3.2. Drag and drop Member Lookup to the top

3.3. Click Save

3.4. Voila!

3. Customize a unique Admissions version of the Contact page

When we're admitting members to our museum, we don't need to see all their Contact information - we just need to see what Benefits they have so we can admit them, and see their recent Admission history.

In this step, we'll create a special Contact page just for the Member Admission app like this one:

Don't worry - building this new Contact page layout for Member Admissions won't affect your normal Contact layout!

We'll show you how here:

1. Click Back...

2. ...and head to the Member Admission app again

3. Go to any Contact's page, click the Setup gear, then click "Edit Page"

4. Click Pages, then New Page

5. Select Record Page, then click Next

6. Fill out the fields and click Next

  • Label: Contact - Member Admission
  • Object: Contact

7. Go to the "Clone Salesforce Default Page" tab, choose Contact Record Page Default, then click Finish

9. In the center panel, remove the duplicates component

Hover your mouse over the duplicates component, then click the trash can icon that appears in the upper-right of the component.

11. Now search for "admission" and drag the admissionBenefitSelect component on top of the center panel...

12. ...then drag the admissionHistory component just below the Benefits component

13. All done!  When your page looks like this, click Save

14. Click Activate

15. Select the App Default tab, then click Assign as App Default

16. In the pop-up, scroll down and check the PMGR Member Admission box, then click Save

17. Click Save

18. Whew, all done!  Click Back and keep truckin' through this article

4. Include a Max Guest Count field

Max Guest Count field suggests a guest cap to your front desk when they're admitting a member. This field does not prevent a member from being admitted with more guests than they are allotted, but it serves as a reminder to admission staff when checking in a member.

In this section, we'll add the field to the Benefit Level so you can edit it for each level.  After you do, the number will show up on someone's benefit as Max Guests, as seen below:

How to set up the Max Guest Count for Benefits

4.1. Go to Setup

4.2. In the Object Manager tab, search for and click on Benefit Level

4.3. Select Page Layouts, then click BenefitLevel Layout

4.4. Drag Max Guest Count into the Details section of the layout, then click Save

4.5. Click Save

4.6. Click the Object Manager tab again

4.7. You can now edit your Benefit Levels to have a Max Guest Count!

That'll help your staff know if a member is bringing in a few too many guests - nice work!

In order to view Benefits and Admission history on the Contact Record, let's add the Admissions and Guest Admissions Related Lists to the Contact Page Layout.

If you plan to scan in members using a QR code scanner, this step is for you!  We'll add a unique QR code image to the Contact record, which you can download and print on a membership card.  

Add the QR code image field now!

6.1. Go to Setup, click the Object Manager tab, then search and click on Contact

6.2. Select Page Layout and click Patron Contact

6.3. Search for "qr" in the palette, then drag-and-drop the QR Code field onto the page layout

6.4. Click Save

6.5. Add the QR code to the other page layouts

Don't worry about adding it to the TBQ Contact layout.
