What's New In Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® — September 5th

• Change event guests to hosts
• Registration number removed from fee display (for those in the US)

Change event guests to hosts

To remove a guest from a registration group so they can host their own separate group, you can now change a guest to a host participant. For example, if a constituent is signed up as a guest, but later decides to sign up to bring their own guests, you can change their registration status and add guests to their record.

From an event record, under Participants, select Work with participants. From the list, find the guest and select Change to host from the participant’s menu . Then from their participant record, select Add guest under Party information.



Note: You can only change a guest to a host if the guest has a constituent record. If a guest is a named guest and not a constituent, you must first select Change to constituent from the participant’s menu and then select Change to host.

If a constituent is signed up as a guest and later uses a registration form to sign up to bring their own guests, the registration form changes their existing participant record to a named guest and creates a new host participant record for their new registration. For more information, see Guest Matching.

Tip: To resolve situations where a participant is a constituent and a named guest for an event, you can sort the participant list by name and then follow up with the hosts to learn how they want to apply the extra registrations, such as toward other participants or as donations.



Registration number removed from fee display (for those in the US)



In response to customer feedback, Raiser’s Edge NXT registration forms no longer display the number of registrations included with registration fees by default. To continue to show registrants how many registrations a fee includes, update its description when you configure the form. For more information, see Registration Options.
