Finding what you need

Published
My husband constantly misplaces things. Where are my keys? Have you seen my phone? I always respond with Are you looking in the right place? My three children obviously take after their father. They look for lost tiny things—all over the house, stuffed in small bags, couches, and toy boxes. But, if you name it, I can find it.

I try to keep everyone organized and have deemed myself The Finder Of All Things. But we all need to learn how find things on our own. Right?

Organization and analysis of your data (aka stuff), is somewhat similar. How will you report your year-over-year financials to your executive director? Are you running the right reports to inform stakeholders? Looking for the best way to organize your data? Try using queries to group records together and use for exporting or marketing and communications.

Blackbaud University is here to help you find what you need with our newest Blackbaud University course, Blackbaud Altru: Reporting. Learn how to identify reporting processes and types of reports to improve your organization’s efficiency. Create effective reports from queries, and export data in colorful and customizable ways. And while you’re at it, define report filters and export the report as a PDF to email directly to your executive director.

As I proudly wear my title (and find the Barbie shoe in the washing machine), I encourage you to stay organized and know where things are.

So, don’t look any further! This course is offered with your Blackbaud University Learn More training subscription. Not a Learn® subscriber? Find out how a Learn subscription can help you optimize reports so you can make better, data-driven decisions for your organization.
