Webinar: NXT Survival Kit
Key takeaways:
- Prepare for the 2027 “Database View” Sunset: Blackbaud is transitioning to a fully web-based Unified View, with the traditional database view targeted for retirement in early 2027. Start auditing your data now, specifically renamed standard fields and attachments, to ensure nothing is left behind during the migration.
- Master the New Grid View & Batching: The speed of the database grid has finally arrived in NXT. To maximize efficiency, utilize Batch Templates to ensure essential fields (like Appeal and Campaign) are captured every time. Additionally, explore NXT Lists for a more user-friendly way to segment data for emails and workflows.
- Leverage the “Power Suite” for Automation: Blackbaud is leaning heavily into the Microsoft Power Platform for advanced needs. If you require complex reporting or automated gift acknowledgments, look toward PowerBI and Power Automate. These tools are becoming the primary way to replace legacy functions like the old Mail module.
