What's New In Raiser's Edge NXT The Week of April 14

This week, Raiser's Edge NXT introduces enhancements to Workflow designer. Also, the ability to view a constituent's unapproved gifts is now generally available. 

92e083adf2774de2df78df1d7829237e-huge-giSet giving criteria for Workflow designer. You can now set gift criteria to include people in workflows from Workflow designer. For example, you can create a workflow and set it to only include people who give a first gift over $50. Previously, you could only set gift criteria for workflows from Lists.

From ToolsWorkflow designer, create a new workflow. When you add the first step, choose Select criteria and set the gift conditions to use.

Note: Workflows check for constituents who meet the criteria every night beginning the date you activate the workflow.

For more information, see Constituent criteria.

View workflow performance details. To help track performance, you can now view how many people a workflow applies to.

From ToolsWorkflow designer, select a workflow's name to view how many people it's applied to since it was activated, how many it currently applies to, and how many completed it. You can also view when it was activated, who created it, and who last modified it.

To provide a more complete view of a constituent's giving, you can now view unapproved gifts under Giving history on a constituent’s record. An alert appears when the constituent has gifts pending approval in a batch. To view the batch number associated with an unapproved gift, select its alert  in the list. For more information, see Giving History.

Note: Gifts in unapproved batches in the database view do not appear under Giving history.

    I have a question about the pending gifts appearing on constituent records, though I think I know the answer.  Will these pending gifts display in lists, or in summaries for the constituent?  My guess is no, but just wanted to clarify.


    Thanks!

    Hi Karen Diener‍! You're right. While an unapproved gift will now appear under a constituent's Giving history, it won't appear in your gift lists or factor into summaries — such as a constituent's lifetime giving — until its batch is approved. Hope this helps!
