Attached is the following document that we give to our IT staff regarding Raiser's Edge can anyone give me suggestions/comments on if I need to add something or anything else that I need to bring up in the meeting we are getting ready to have with them regarding this? They have had some changes in...

Is there a Raisers Edge convention for fields with values of zero and minus one. In the Schema for the RE database, the "Notes" for these fields usually says something like: Is_Constituent In 0, -1 (default = -1) Primary_Addressee_Edit in 0, -1 (default = 0) while the "Description"...

Since the reporting in PE is less than desired, we are seeking alternative options to reporting. I took the Blackbaud course for using Crystal Reports with RE but was disappointed to find that a great deal of the information and options didn't transfer to working with PE. If we use Crystal Reports...

I'm trying to pull the Primary Addressee directly from the RE Tables, but having difficulty.

Currently working on virtualizing our entire Blackbaud Installation with latest version equipment and software. I could virtualize the existing systems using a P2V utility, but I'd rather rebuild everything from the ground up using best practices and developer recommendations and simply migrate the...

Hello, I was considering asking BB about setting up a forum for those who have RE and PE interfaced (or integrated). I'm not sure - but it seems most orgs come from a RE background for fundraising and then add PE - or at least that's my hunch, which would mean people reading this are already...

We are a French-Canadian University currently implementing The Blackbaud suite of products (SIS, Finance, Web portals and CMS) – but not Raiser’s Edge. We are currently defining our databases (MS-SQL) for the implementation of these Blackbaud products. We want to define the collation sequence as “case...

We use Series Discounts and we have for years. It wasn't until very recently that we discovered Series Discounts do not apply to each ticket that is purchased, the discount only applies to the series price. Long story short, the way we report on our Subscription sales is now needing an overhaul and...
