Blackbaud’s Education Management Solutions: What’s New For August 16th, 2022
Here are all of the latest changes, updates, and new features for the Education management products for August 16th, 2022.
Billing management
Add payment by student ID or student name
A new option to add payments based on the student name or student ID is available in the Recent payments list. Add payment by student joins the existing ability to Add payment by payer name or ID.
Disbursement filter and column added to Recent payments list
Disbursement filter and column are now available on the Recent payments list. Include the optional Disbursement column to review the disbursement date for payments, and filter on the Disbursement date to refine the entries in the list.
Student name now triggers flyout on the My Actions list
Selecting a student’s Name on the My Actions list now opens a flyout with a summary of the student in question.
Dates for online payments now display in EST
Dates for payments now appear formatted for the Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone, whereas previously, they were shown in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Blackbaud ID: Migrate this by September 27, 2022
Platform managers can migrate users to Blackbaud ID via the links on the Core home dashboard. They can also export user lists for use in mail merges and other communications.
We’ve extended the deadline to migrate users. Ensure your school’s users are on BBID by September 27, 2022.
Authenticating with Blackbaud ID:
Enforce Blackbaud ID Requirement (Opt-In to EAP)
Platform managers can select to join the early adopter program (EAP) which forces all users to log in with Blackbaud ID (BBID) before it’s required for all schools.
From Core, select Security, select Blackbaud ID authentication, select Enforce Blackbaud ID authentication, and finally select Enforce to confirm you want to join the EAP.
When you enforce BBID, all users, regardless of their security role, will be required to log in with Blackbaud ID.
During the EAP, you can revert and opt out to stop enforcing BBID. However, later this year, it will still be enforced for all schools, all users, and all security roles, as previously announced.
