NXT Opportunity List Missing Constituent ID

Carolyn - That would be very useful!

I would make sure you vote on the three current suggestions in the Idea bank. Blackbaud occasionally chimes in on these posts, but they definitely read through the ideas, and always encourage users to post suggestions and vote on them in the idea section.

I searched for “ID on Opportunity List” and found three ideas already logged. I would have posted the ideas here specifically but I have a difficult relationship with the idea bank. Maybe someone else can be more helpful with that aspect.

(Dan - how do you get the link to the specific idea? Do you manually construct that? I was looking for a link and couldn't find one.)

I wholeheartedly agree with Madeleine! It has always amazed me how the standard reports in RE always fall a little short.

One workaround I've found is to set up an addressee format that includes the constituent ID - I've set up ID, semicolon, name - which would translate to "1138; Karen Diener". When you run a report where you can select an addressee, pick that one. It doesn't have to exist on the constituent record - it will construct it for you when you run the report. It is all part of one field - ID won't have it's own column - but at least you can see it.

The reason I used that specific format is because I needed to export the PDF into Excel and create a query from the list of IDs. Having a really specific character to separate the ID from everything else allowed me to use “text to columns” in Excel. I know this is far off from the question in the original post, but maybe it will help someone along the way.
