    The feature map is great, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the goal management develops.

  • I'm super excited about the Recognition Programs. No more manually adding Custom Fields when someone reaches a giving threshold (hopefully!).

  • Looks good, but need more hands on when presenting…actually getting into BB and utilizing the things you're talking about. Learning happens easier for most people when seeing it live…not just talking about everything.

  • The Feature Map is great! I love the thought going into how the web needs look and function for those of us doing data entry and reporting all day every day.

    Looking forward to easier process of query to export. Feature map is nice.
    Wondering about the automation of the 'finders' - like to be able to review vs auto changed.
    Would be nice to be able to bring our event reg process back in to RE. Needed the review and we need an option that fees are not recorded as gifts.
    Hoping to see great things with LTG recognition. Hoping we can select gift types.

    T'was interesting. I think that the recognition programs will be a good look. I'm very on the fence about the tabs in constituent records. We'll see how it works out.

  • Not sure how the reworked constituent records will coordinate with our security policies, which limit who can see gift data. Will those fields be empty or masked? Currently, all the gift info is separate tiles, making it easier to manage the policies without alerting users to hidden data.

  • Are all the 'finders' going to be available for UK clients? I don't believe we have any right now ...

  • Was there any detail on 'when' the new tab layout will be available?

    Hey Joe! So glad you found the PUB helpful! We are definetly bringing action tracks into web view, likely be end of year. As for deceased finder, I'll take a look at the gaps and see what we can do to shore that up. Thanks so much for the feedback!

    Great feedback! We have some great micro trainings on recently releases that might be what you are looking for as well as make sure to attend the Inside track monthly series. We go much deeper into a specific area and spend more time showing the functionality.

  • Thanks Trit - I get asked alot by my internal teams (when we're reviewing roadmaps/timlines etc) exacly what dates the quarters relate to. eg for us Q3 = Oct-Dec, is it the same for BB and their roadmaps? I often mean to clarify this so if you can shed light it will save me forgetting to ask in the next meeting. ☺️

    I'm not sure if remaking the tabbed structure of DBV is progress or regress. I understand that it's familiar, but it's also a bit antiquated in far as design and function. I'm really curious how these tabs will appear on mobile devices. Will they be cluttered or will they make sense?

    I can't look at these updates from a strictly administrative standpoint. These are updates that will affect the entire organization, and there are more end users than admins. I want to make sure this doesn't impact the ability of other people in the organization to do their jobs, which in turn impacts my ability to do mine. I understand the point, but I am a little curious as to the rationale.

    I think if this was an optional view, I'd feel differently about it. Having the ability to turn it off or on as a user preference/option would go a long way.

  • Question about recognition programs, it looks like our org now has it in wbv NXT but it doesn't recognize our enivonrment. It says "environment not found". Also when going into recognition tables, I get another error message that says page not found. Is it still being worked on or is this something I should submit a case about?

  • I'm excited about the constituent tabs. I tend to go to DBV to make changes to my constituents - much less clicking. Also looking forward to the constituent forms - we're trying to move some things away from Constant Contact and into NXT. I'm ready to make all the changes to the gifts.

    Hey Amber:

    I am not having any issues with the recognition program, but so for it is only for Legacy Program.

  • I'm really excited about the Constituent Profile refresh with the tabs. It'll be MUCH easier to navigate the different tiles. I also love it will be "sticky" to stay on the same tab if you navigate to a different constituent, and to edit multiple contact info (ex, address, email, and phone number) in the same window vs having to edit them one at a time.

    The feature map is great. I'm looking forward to the complete gift processing in web view (gift adjustments, tributes, planned gifts, etc.) The tabbed constituent views are 1000% improvement on functionality!!!

  • Hi Trit - in the PUB I'm in right now Q3 looks like its actually July-September not Oct-Dec as discussed:

    can you confirm which is correct please?

    Q1 - Jan-March

    Q2 - April-June

    Q3 - July-Sept

    Q4 is Oct-Dec

    We expect you will be able to process all gifts in web view by September.

    Hope this helps!
