Blackbaud’s Education Management Solutions: What’s New For March 21, 2023
Published
Here are the latest changes, updates, and new features for the Education management products for March 21, 2023.
Academics
Video preview for new Academic Profiles
A walkthrough video is available for the new version of Academic Profiles that we will be rolling out to all schools in waves starting in late March. Click here to watch it, or check it out in the Community post linked below.Just like the old Academic Profile, the new 360 Profile displays when you select a student or alumnus via the People finder or via a list in Academics. The new profile contains the same features and capabilities as the older Academic Profile (plus a few new tools that we’ll show off in the video and the Community post linked below), but arranged under new tab headings in a more accessible format. Depending on your role at the school, some or all of the profile areas will be available to you.
To see screenshots of the upcoming 360 Profile and an explanation of the new features, check out the announcement in the Higher Education Solutions Community.
Enrollment management
Contracts
We've made numerous updates to the Assign Contracts Type wizard as of March 14 based on some Ideas from our community users. Now, it's full screen and gives you additional column options like Current contract and Previous contract.Users who already have a contract for the current year can be filtered out with a new checkbox option, and there are new filters which can be utilized including Previous contract, which displays a list of all contract types from the previous year.
Finally, admissions managers now see a filter list on the second page of the Assign Contract wizard to help show what has been selected.
API and Integrations
School API
We've updated theopponents
object returned in GET Athletic schedules. The opponents.score
property now provides a breakdown of the opponents.team_score
