What's New In Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® — December 10th, 2024

Raise more with donation forms in Online Giving (for those in Australia)
From the web view, you can now access Online Giving to create Optimized Donation Forms and access your Standard Donation Forms. Optimized forms encourage donors to complete transactions because of a new streamlined design that captures payments before collecting contact information. They also require minimal setup and include the same fee coverage options as standard forms.
Optimized forms:

• Use a branding card you customize with images and your mission statement.

• Are visually appealing, intuitive, and engaging.

• Automatically adjust to increase higher than average gift amounts based on donor data analysis.

• Display anywhere on your website without creating new web pages.

To access Optimized Donation Forms, navigate to Online Giving, Overview.

For more information, see Online Giving.

Access feature areas from left hand navigation (for those in Australia)
To make it easier to access features with more intuitive navigation, the menu has moved to the left side of screen and some features have been moved to new areas for accessibility.

You can now find features in the following areas:

• Constituents — Constituent lists is now available from Constituents, where you can also access Data health and Duplicate management.

• Gifts — Fundraising is now Gifts. You can access Gift management (now Gifts, Overview), Gift lists, Receipts, Acknowledgements, Giving statements, and Funds under Gifts.

  Tip: Gift batch entry is now accessible directly from Gifts in left navigation.

• Communications — Marketing is now Communications, where you can now access Email and Workflow designer.

• Online Giving — You can now access Online Giving to create Optimized Donation Forms and access your Standard Donation Forms. For more information, see Online Giving.

Note: We’re releasing these updates in waves instead of deploying everything at once. When waves complete, we'll update the help content to reflect those changes.

Manage queries in web view (for more of you)
You can now manage supported queries in web view to search for records that meet certain criteria. To access the list of queries, go to Analysis, Query.

For more information, see Query.

Merge queries in web view
To combine records from two queries into a third static query, you can now merge queries in web view.

Note: Queries must have the same query type to merge them.

From Query, select New merge query. Select a primary and secondary query to merge and choose merge operators to determine how to combine them. For more information, see Merge Operators.
