    I'm looking forward to hearing what's on the horizon for RE NXT - particularly what's coming to webview soon

    @Crystal Bruce looking forward to this one most of all!

  • @Crystal Bruce All registered and ready to hear the latest.

  • @Crystal Bruce
    We are loving the progress that is being made in moving features to the Web view as well as knowing what is on the horizon.

  • @Crystal Bruce

    I am unable to register for any of the upcoming product updates on either Chrome or Edge. I click on the link provided and get this. No place to register or see upcoming briefings. Any idea why?

    @Patti Posey Check your pop-up/ad-block settings. They cause havoc on these pages…

    @Crystal Bruce, do you know if these are going to be recorded and available afterwards? I want to watch these but the time frames aren't great for me.

  • @Crystal Bruce….lots of great things on the horizon - I'm especially excited to have all gift options available in web view in the future, and looking forward to using some of the new event reg form features…like copying participant options from other events and allow registrants to let us know they cannot attend the event.

  • @Crystal Bruce I'm so excited for webview batch entry, query and also being able to set up and run a recurring report. That is amazing!!!

  • @Crystal Bruce
    I have been eagerly waiting for Query, Reports, Gift Batch entry and full gift functionality to be available in NXT. I am so happy to see that it's coming soon!!

    @Crystal Bruce Excited about everything that is forthcoming, especially with query and reports, and primary navigation moving to the left in webview, the addition of Prospect Insights for all, full functionality of gift management, and enhancements to event forms.

    @Crystal Bruce

    ? This soothed so any fears I had left over from the last big product briefing!

    I love, love the new navigation. I am also so grateful to know we can look forward to full functionality batch gift entry with default fields, and that all our standard reporting is going to come over to NXT and we won't have to rebuild anything.

    The new AI stuff really knocked my socks off - the idea that our prospect managers are going to be able to ask questions about a donor, like the last event they attended, or gift, or get suggestions for phone scripts and emails….holy smokes.

    I am relieved we are getting the work processes we need and overjoyed about all the unexpected new tools!

  • @Patti Posey I've seen a couple of people report this. Can you try a different browser or clear your cache? See if that helps!

  • @Dariel Dixon I believe so, but I can double check!

  • Thanks to everyone who shared their excitement about the PUBs pre-PUBs - we'd love to hear your feedback/thoughts after attending, so please be sure to include that in this discussion thread. <3

    @Crystal Bruce - I'm really happy they extended the session to 90 min instead of trying to fit all that detail into 60 min. I'm most excited about the primary function areas in DBV being moved and improved upon in WV - Query, Export, Batch, Standard Reports, etc. It's all very exciting!

  • @Crystal Bruce Do you know if they will be uploading the video? I was watching and unfortunately had to step away when they got to the reports section (which I was most interested in!). Thanks!

  • @Dariel Dixon confirmed if registered the video will be on demand 24 hours after the live PUB.

  • @Crystal Bruce This update was jam-packed, and it is difficult to pick just one take-away. At some point, I think I heard that business rules were coming to web view. I hope this means both constituent and gift business rules! Both of these are especially important for gift batch. I have been a bit of a squeaky wheel on this issue, and I am really happy it is happening!

    @Crystal Bruce

    Great to see what's in the works and in the future plans. When be great when all the pieces are fully functioning in web view.

    Also encouraging to hear there's not a plan to shut off db view on a specific date. Web view is great for development staff but still has many areas not practical for db admins.

  • @Crystal Bruce Lots of great info….I am most excited about query in WebView.

    Hi @Sunshine Reinken Watson - yes, business rules will be for both constituent and gifts

    @Crystal Bruce SO many good things! I'm excited to try batch when it is more streamlined since all our gifts must be processed that way. Also looking forward to getting Reports from web view. The updated Home screen and menu on the left will be a nice update.

    @Crystal Bruce Out of all the items brought up, for me the best and way overdue is the ability to export reports in CVS, share and send out on a schedule. I am still waiting for RE NXT to have the ability to report and/or query off of the number of days someone is in a prospect status. That is WAY OVERDUE, because otherwise having that information right now is useless, since you only see it in someone's record.

    @Crystal Bruce
    Lots of great things and I will be very interested to see the customizable home page as the prescribed timeframes with the current work center has been frustrating in the past so I like that we are getting some control there.

  • @Crystal Bruce I've tried Chrome and Edge and cleared my cache. Same thing. Is there a place on blackbaud that lists all the product briefs?
