Re: Let’s talk goals: What are you focusing on at bbcon 2025?
I'm looking forward to seeing my "people", attending great sessions, and leading the Ask the Super Users: Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT User Panel 4.0.
I'll be prioritizing my time in the vendor hall catching up with Blackbaud product developers and exploring various new solutions in the marketplace.
Re: Why is Query's "One of" operator inconsistent?
It's not actually inconsistent. Query won't let you paste in a set of values if the field you want to paste in is a table field. So, Fund IDs and Appeal IDs are a table field and you have to select them from a list. Constituent IDs are a fill-in field so you can paste in those values. For me, the real issue is that the UX in webview for choosing your one-of fields is so laborious (if you have 400+ Fund IDs like us, you end up having to click "load more" more than 30 times to get to all your values) that it makes it very difficult to do what was a fairly simple task in database view.
I created an Idea in the Idea Bank to adjust the UX to make this type of process more functional. Please consider voting for it!

Re: bbcon in Philadelphia is happening in two weeks! Will you be there?
@Amy Dana I have a Haunted House purse this year! I'll keep it tucked away. :-)
bbcon in Philadelphia is happening in two weeks! Will you be there?
We can hardly wait to kickoff bbcon in Philadelphia with you in just two weeks! We’ve got an exciting mainstage lineup including a talk from Blackbaud CEO Mike Gianoni who will share his vision for how technology will deliver more power and possibility to the social impact community. And don’t forget, #1 New York Times best-selling author and organizational psychologist, Adam Grant will deliver the keynote, challenging you to aim higher, think bigger, and lead smarter. Lock in your spot now!
Your peers prioritize coming to bbcon. Find out why…
"Each time I attend bbcon I come back with at least one tip/trick that massively improves how I do my work!!! I love that. This past year I got many things solved at the genius bar as well. I have gotten to visit many new locations because of bbcon and THIS year it's in my home city." — Lisa Peyton McNeill, Wilmington Friends School
“One of the great things about bbcon is that we’re all here to do good. Blackbaud brings us together, providing not just technology but education and support to help us better support our missions.” —Bruce Baughman, Susan G. Komen

Re: Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® Self-Serve Backup Portal Is Here!
Update: I guess the tile wasn't loading before but I see it now in the Database Options section of webview beneath the FTP tile.
Microsoft Request Trigger - Webhook Change
I just received this notification from Microsoft:
I have no idea what affect this will have on my webhook flow. I imagine this is going to break the flow from triggering as the old URL is registered with Blackbaud webhook monitor.
@Ben Wong Is Blackbaud aware of this and potentially has instruction coming up for updating the webhook information, or do we need to setup new webhook. If we need to setup new, would the previous instruction you provided still works?
Would anybody be interested in this? Office hours coffee chat
Update:
Here is the Microsoft Teams meeting info for those interested. I'll be on from 10:00 AM CST to 11:30 AM CST.
I don't really have much of a structure for this, I just want to get to know others in the same role as me and maybe get some tips and best practices when it comes to NXT. It's going to be pretty informal. Come prepared with some comfy clothes and the coffee or tea of your choice. :)
Meeting ID:266 355 208 727 8
Passcode:Ch3Ry7ad
Edit-
It looks like there is a lot of interest! I will share my Teams link later in the month for everyone who is interested to join on 11/03.
My organization has a few professional development days throughout the year. For the one coming up on November 1 Monday, November 3rd, we have been encouraged to take the morning to visit/tour offsite nonprofits or have coffee or lunch with a non-coworker that is in a similar role.
This is more geared towards our teaching staff, audiologists, and fundraisers. I had the idea of sharing a Teams meeting link here on the forums to meet for 60-90 minutes where we database folks can chat about best practices, ideas, tips/tricks with NXT etc. It would be very informal drop-in/drop-out as your schedule allows. I am in Central time in the US.
Would anyone be interested in stopping by and chatting for awhile for this?
