What's New In Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® — June 10, 2025

Alyssa Maslankowski

Here are the latest changes in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT for June 10, 2025.

Match tribute gifts in Online data review
View user role permissions
Directly post gift batches to Financial Edge NXT (for some of you)

Match tribute gifts in Online data review

To prevent duplicate honoree and acknowledgee records, you can now review and link tributes in Online data review. You can match the donor, organization, honoree, and acknowledgee separately for a tribute gift. For more information, see Online Data Review.

View user role permissions

To make it easier to review the permissions associated with a role for a user, admins can now view the details in context. If a user doesn't have access to all tasks and permissions associated with a role, admins can select the role from the user's profile or from the Users page to see the tasks and permissions assigned to the user.

For more information, see Users and User Details.

Directly post gift batches to Financial Edge NXT (for some of you)

To track accountability of gifts and streamline processes, you can now easily post gift batches to General ledger to transfer gift information directly to Financial Edge NXT. For more information, see Gift Posting.

Hi all – according to this blog post, the Match Tribute Gifts in Online Data Review feature is now turned on. I tested it this morning and wanted to share what I found — and I’d love your feedback or experiences too.

Main suggestion: Please give users the ability to select the correct tribute when multiple exist on a record. Right now, the tool auto-assigns one (in my case, the only inactive tribute out of 18), and there’s no way to change it during the review process.

Here’s what happened:

The gift was for a record with 18 tributes (it’s our school’s main record — we use separate tributes for departments, faculty, classes, etc.).

I couldn’t pick the correct tribute, and it defaulted to an inactive one.

I had to manually activate the incorrect tribute, approve the batch anyway, then fix the gift in database view: remove the wrong tribute, add the right one.

So yes — no duplicate record, but actually more steps and a higher risk of missing the error. At least when a new record was created before, I knew something needed fixing.

Having 18 tributes is rare, but having both an "in honor of" and "in memory of" tribute on a single record is very common. We typically inactivate the “in honor of” when someone passes — and it is quite possible that is the one the system will choose based on my exposure thus far.

I’ve opened a case and added this to the idea bank. If this affects you too, or you have thoughts, please chime in — and vote!

I appreciate the intent behind the Match Tribute Gifts in Online Data Review feature, but like you, I’ve found it’s not saving time and may even introduce more risk of error. We really need the ability to manually choose the correct tribute in webview when multiple exist—auto-assigning just isn’t reliable in complex cases.

Also, I’m looking for a simple way to view all gifts associated with a specific tribute in webview. In database view, it’s easy under the “Honor/Memorial” tab, but I haven’t found an equivalent in webview yet. If anyone has a workaround or insight, I’d love to hear it!

Thanks for your comments, Elizabeth. I'd like to learn more. The Tribute Type should always be the type selected by the donor on the donation form. We didn't include that as a step in Online data review since we assumed you would not want to change the donor's intent. If the Tribute type used was Inactive, you may need to check your donation form and update the Types shown there. If this doesn't help, please let me know and we can investigate further. We certainly want to avoid having you jump through all of these hoops in the future. Looking forward to your feedback and appreciate your partnership in making this right!

Hi Lacey, The tribute the donor added to the gift was not one that yet existed on a record. I had to match to the constituent that was being honored and there was no place to add a new tribute tor that donor from the donation page and it defaulted to the one inactive tribute on the record. There was no way to honor the donor's intent without intervention. I hope this can be remedied and am happy to assist in making this change happen.
