If you have both Patron Edge and The Raiser's Edge, you currently have an additional step after installing an RE workstation (or updating a PE workstation) to copy some files into the The Raiser's...

  • Sorting a spreadsheet by color

    So I was given an internal cleanup project that had a spreadsheet of 500 items that needed to be reviewed and acted on. As I worked through the list over the course of a couple of weeks, I color-coded the items based on the next action to take (follow up, merge, close, etc). At the end of the project...
