Total Web Solution Journey
As Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT shifts to a total web solution, we're moving the following features from database view exclusively to web view over the next several months:

Since we release in waves, you may receive the updates immediately or in a future release. To track details and timelines, bookmark the Total Web Solution page.

NOTE: To keep you informed of upcoming changes, we will periodically display a Review total web solution features screen when you log in to Financial Edge NXT listing upcoming features that are moving to web view.

• Community Announcements. The Community is a great way to stay informed. Subscribe to Financial Edge NXT Community Announcements by clicking on the "Subscribe" link at the top of this blog. You can then select how often you want to receive update notifications.
• Release Updates. Check out What's Recent, What's New, and What's Next to get all the details on prior, current, and future releases. To help keep you up to date on the most recent developments, What's New automatically opens when you log in to the web view.
• In-Product Help. Help documentation throughout Financial Edge NXT is context-sensitive. So, no matter where you are in the solution, you can click the bright green question mark at the top right of your screen to get help for that feature.
