Happy new year! This week,
Raiser's Edge NXT introduces improvements to giving statements and action notifications. Also, we're including details to help you prepare for upcoming changes in
Blackbaud Hosting Service.
Improvements to giving statements (for those with giving statements)
Running giving statements is now a quicker and more streamlined process. From Giving statements, on the new Generate statements tab, you can choose whether to run statements for a list or an individual. If you choose a list, you can generate PDFs or send email to as many as 5000 constituents at one time. Previously, you could only generate them for 50 constituents at a time.

Note: If you prefer to use the existing workflow for running statements, you can continue to generate them from the Constituents tab.
For more information, see Giving Statements.
Improved action notifications
Fundraisers no longer receive notifications in the top navigation bar if you mark actions complete when you assign them. Previously, they received notifications for every assigned action. Since actions remain in notification lists for seven days, it's now easier to identify which actions require follow-up.

For information about how to add actions and assign them to fundraisers, see Actions.
