Third party application to create Transcripts
We have been using a very old Crystal Reports instance to create our transcripts out of Blackbaud due to a complex grading system. Does anyone have any recommendations for software/programs that they use that directly access Blackbaud grade data?
Re: PowerUp Challenge: First Email Marketing Task
I'll second what I'm hearing from others, the default colour set up. But really, I just like that it's all contained in one area, so you can go in, do it all, and it's done!

Hi! I used that same canned report and just stair-stepped each fiscal year, for us 7/1-6/30. It has enough of the details visible that you could pull it into Excel and manipulate it for several years.
Re: Total Annual Visitors
@Anna Blanton Hi Anna - I use a combination of a query and the sales comparison report (for group sales). We used to be able to get most of the information from the sales comparison report, but when we started selling tickets online - they show up on the report as the day they were purchased, not the day they were used plus not everyone shows up who has tickets so the query is for tickets scanned during the particular time period. I calculate attendance every month for our dashboard and then we keep track of cumulative attendance so we know our counts for each month, ytd, each year, and cumulative since we have been open.
Each month, I run the query, and the sales comparison report, and then I check for any events that occurred that will also have to be added. This is the query that I use - I download to a spreadsheet and then pivot table and filter for what I need.

@Theresa Diesch I export the data and then sort with a pivot table to get the exact results that I need. - Tamara
Re: Everyone has that one tool they can't live without - what's yours?
Thanks for the thumbs up @Dariel Dixon and others for SmartPASTE. Just a quick note to say we are trialling a new version for NXT, which you can access, again free, in your web browser via the Chrome Web Store (should also work with Edge, Opera and other browsers):
New Consent Tile
Hi all
Has anyone else found the new Consent Tile a bit of a nightmare? We used categories for the different preferences e.g. Appeals, Events and Newsletters and we didnt have a top level Opt-in for the Channel. So when we opted someone into "Email" they got 3 consent records for each category. However now when we look at the record in NXT it displays the 3 categories but above it says "No overall channel consent found". So we need to now clean this all up. Anyone else having fun with this?
Re: "Spouse Assignment" in Profile Information block?
An adaptive card/custom tile like this would be very straight forward to do, if you went that route. Created this one in less than hour. It loads for any constituent record that is opened in Web View, information only appears if the constituent qualifies. The less calculations you have running in the flow, the faster the card appears on the record.
