Transcript for "Optimizing Events with Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT®: Expanded Capabilities in Web View": Alrighty. Hello, everyone. Good morning or good afternoon for some of you. Welcome. Welcome. So exciting to see all those introductions coming through that chat. Welcome to our webinar on optimizing events with Blackbaud's Raisers Edge NXT. We are talking about expanded capabilities in WebView today. So lots of exciting new features we are gonna take a look at. Before we jump right in and do that, I just wanna do a little bit of lay of the land here, for our webinars in Goldcast if you're newer to these. So our sessions are recorded. So if you do have any Internet issues, anything like that, you gotta run to a meeting. These sessions are recorded, so you'll receive a recording of all the material we're covering today. We've got a couple things over on the right hand side of your screen. So a lot of, again, really fun introductions flying through that chat tab. Definitely feel free to continue to use that chat for comments, feedback, kind of anything you wanna talk about with your peers. That chat is yours for that. Tab you should see next to that says docs. We placed a lot of documents over in there. There's some FAQs on all the different event material we're gonna take a look at today. Our slides are available for you to download from there, And then we also have a couple kinda post, webinar documents and resources as well we'll talk about with, some trainings if you're looking for a deeper dive beyond what we cover today. The next tab you're gonna see there so we've got chat, docs, and then q and a. If you do have questions, you're hoping to get an answer to during the webinar today, we'll do our best to get to those, but those are gonna be best answered with that q and a tab. We've got a couple colleagues with us in the room today. Marie and I will be working our way through your material. Our colleagues, Andre, Matt, and Laura are in the session as well. They will also be working in that q and a tab exclusively. So if they see questions, they actually have the ability to respond to those there. So, again, if you want a response to a particular question, we'll do our best to get to those. Q and a tab is the one where they're actually able to respond to questions you might have. So definitely feel free to send those on over. One other thing I just wanted to mention, if you do hover over, kind of our slides here, that you're seeing up on screen, my intro slide, you should see some options to expand that video window if you wanna make that bigger. There's options to turn on captions there as well if you would find those helpful. Helpful. Alrighty. So before we do go ahead, jump right in and talk about all the new expanded capabilities with events in the WebView, little bit about us working our way through the material with you. My name is Kimberly Piecuch. I am a senior instructor with Blackbaud University. So, some of us, I see some familiar names over in that chat, may have taken trainings with us before at Blackbaud University. What I do all day long is instructor led training. So we do trainings on really anything you could possibly be interested in with Raiser's Edge NXT. We've got a training for you there. I've been on our instructor team since 2018. So, really enjoy my work here, getting us all up to speed and all these exciting new features. I'm based in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. I other fun facts I've got. I'm not a fan of winter. I saw some of us as we were sharing introductions are kinda in that neck of the woods with me. Some of us are having some beautiful weather. So I did write I'm not a fan of winter. If you've got beautiful weather today, please enjoy that for me. I'm still trapped in winter here. I'm also, a mom to Stella, who's two years old, and Lady is a 10 year old Chihuahua. And before coming to Blackbaud, I was a program director for a pediatric cancer foundation. That was my most recent role. So that's really where my background comes from, there. And I'll pass it over to my colleague, Marie. Alright. Hello, everyone. I am joining you today from Austin, Texas. I also loved seeing the intros because I've kind of made my way around The US. I'm currently in Texas, but born and raised in Minnesota. Saw some Minnesotans here. Also lived in California for about ten years. Saw some many of you from there as well. I love that we have participants from across the country, across the world here. My background is as a teacher. I taught preschool, actually, all the way through high school, so lots of education experience, but also as a program director for a nonprofit. So definitely in that nonprofit world as well. I love to blend those two here as an instructor at Blackbaud University, get a chance to combine that education and nonprofit background. Couple fun facts for me as well. I've had a chance to visit over 20 countries. I love traveling, exploring the world, and I also love Thai food. I could probably eat it every day if I had a chance. So that is my fun fact for you today. Alright. I'm gonna turn it back over to Kim, to Kim to kinda do a little bit of an introduction here before we jump into the content. So throughout the webinar today, we've broken out our material just in a couple different units to keep us focused for our time together. So we're gonna jump right in by talking about new event features. So if you have worked with event records before, what's new and exciting available to us? If you're new to everything, we've got a quick overview, get you up to speed on these events as well. We'll dig a little bit deeper on working with event participants. We're gonna talk some key highlights features on those event registration forms, and then our final unit is more training options. So if you're looking for, again, a deeper dive beyond what we've got in the webinar today, we've got lots of options available for you for that. But let's go ahead dig right in here. So, first up, getting us up to speed with the event record. I've got some just kinda key features, up on the slide for us here. Wanted to make sure it was very clear that the event records in WebView are standard to all organizations. So there's no additional, you know, bells, whistles you need to have to your Razer's Edge and XT subscription. If you've got Razer's Edge and XT WebView, you can create these event records within your organization system. Now if you are new to working with the event records, I've system. And if you are new to working with the event records, I wanted to mention there is a little bit of setup, a little bit of initial configuration with some tables. So just like we need to configure, you know, our organization's constituent codes, set up those custom tables, There are also some custom tables or drop downs you get to configure particular to events, and those are managed by choosing settings from your navigation bar, and that's where we find our tables. We're gonna talk about event expenses today. That's a pretty new feature, but you can configure organization's expense types. You'll also see the ability to configure your organization's event categories, groups. Again, completely custom to your organization. Really helpful tools for us as we're kinda moving our way through those records and maybe talking some analysis too. So event records, we get the ability, of course, to give those a name. We get to record what day those are happening, and then we're gonna see some tiles that are helping us group related data. Just like any other record in WebView, we've got tiles. Right? So the details tile is where we're gonna record, pretty high level information. You'll be able to see the event's unique ID number from there, and this is where you could also be recording that category and group. So category, custom table to your organization. If you wanted to group, or rather have a category for all of your so you do golf outing every year. You want a category of golf outing or category of annual gala or walk. You create that category. You record that on those specific event records. Just gives you a tool in your toolbox for grouping purposes, maybe for queries or some different reports or analysis you want to run. You'd be able to go ahead and filter based on that particular category. There's also the field of group. So group, a little bit different than category. The group field is indicating these events are related to each other. I would say pretty popular use of this one is we're having an alumni weekend, for example. As part of that alumni weekend, we've got five different events going on. You know, we've got the coffee breaks. We've got the professor meet and greets. We've got a walk. We've got whatever it might be. Those are all related to each other, and I'd like to analyze them all together within one group. Groups will let you do that, again, custom table for us as well. You'll also be able to define the location of the event and any contact. You might need to work with that that particular venue there as well. We've got a fees tile. So we'll be working with all of these tiles a little bit more throughout the webinar. But just a quick overview, of course. Within the fees tile, you'll get to set any registration fees. If there's any costs associated with attending the event, you get to choose what are those different costs. Right? Any other fees, are you selling T shirts, anything like that? You can record what we call other fees. And this is also where you'd get the ability to link the event record to a particular campaign, fund, appeal, and package. You get that full structure, available to you as well. And I do see a quick question coming through. And if you are working with, WebView and database view as I know some of us are, really same idea here. If you have, you enter a constituent in WebView, you're gonna see that constituent in database view. If you enter a gift in WebView, you're gonna see that in database view. So you'll be able to work with those if your organization has that event capability in database view. WebView is gonna be standard for us as well. We're also seeing, participants tile. So we're definitely gonna take a look at that participants tile as well. This is where we are tracking, storing, recording, right, our participants, who's coming, who have we invited versus who's attending. We'll also see some post event statistics displayed for us there. You'll also see the online registration form tile. So, again, standard feature available with the event records. You can create registration forms. So those registration forms custom to your organization. We'll talk a bit about those as well, but you can create as many different forms as you might need for that particular event record. Your participant options tile, does give you the ability to create custom drop downs, custom settings, custom information that you want to record for that particular event. So if we're, given T shirts away at the event, right, I need to record your T shirt size, you can go ahead and, record T shirt size. If you need folks to consent to a waiver, you've got options there in the participant options to get really custom. What information do you need to go ahead and see about those event participants? You get to track that from there. The participant options, again, you get to configure. You can do a pick list of options. What is your T shirt size? Go ahead and record that with a pick list. You can also choose a yes, no option. Do you consent to this? Yes, no. And then you can also do a text box. So if you needed to ask someone a question, have them type in some information, you would be able to see that there too. We do have an attachments tile. So if there's any documentation, paperwork that you do need to record associate with that particular event record, you can go ahead and record attachments. Other things I'm seeing here, if you do have questions, I would encourage those to go in that q and a tab. I'm able to keep my eye on a couple of those there. They are flying through pretty fast. But the q and a tab is the only one that will give my colleagues able to actually respond to questions. If you do want something answered, definitely try to put that in the definitely try to put that in the q and a tab. Folks can actually respond to those there. Another new feature we'll mention is that the events can be marked as inactive. So, historically, that could only be done in the database view of the system, but now you can mark event records as inactive post event. Wanted to mention as well, and we'll kinda sprinkle this throughout the course too. But the there is, two different instructor led sessions on our events that we offer. Over within Blackbaud University, where's typically what I'm doing all day long, we've got a class called event records. So, that is a class, 90. You get to work in a sample database. You get to create events, upload the different fees, practice all those different tiles. If you wanna do that in a sample database, you've definitely got options for that within our ninety minute instructor led course. We also offer a ninety minute instructor led course on event registration forms. So if you are looking for wanna practice in a sample database, again, want that deeper dive beyond what we do here today, we've got that option for you as well. Alrighty. I'm gonna turn it over to Marie for my quick overview here to dig a little bit deeper on some newer updates. Alright. Sounds good. Thanks, Kim. And I just do wanna repeat what Kim a couple of things that Kim just mentioned as people are kind of joining a little bit later here. Best place for questions is going to be the q and a, but also best best place for questions is going to be to take any of our instructor led classes. What we're trying to do here today, as the, webinar said, is focus on expanded capabilities in the web view. So we're really really gonna be focusing on the new things that have been recently released in events. If you want a deeper dive into a full event record beginning to end or a full online registration form beginning to end, Definitely want to take those full 90 classes. So today we have sixty minutes to cover both event records and registration forms and the new features but then we have two separate full ninety minute courses that cover each of those And if you're wondering how to find those, up in the top right you've got that docs tab next to the q and a and that's going to give you links to register for those classes. We also have on demand e learnings that you can check out while you're waiting to get signed up for a class. And so we're gonna do our very best to get things answered in the q and a and maybe even live here. There's a lot of you with a lot of great questions. If you want that more personalized question answering, definitely check out those full courses. So let's keep, going here. Like I said, we're gonna be covering the kind of newer out for our events here. And so the first one Right. You see the EAL expenses, and you can also see So we're looking at your event record. There's going to be an expense tile that's gonna show you all of the expenses you may have already put in events. And then at the top of that tile, you you click on that button. It is going to show you your events table. This is one of the customized tables that Kimberly mentioned earlier where your organization gets to decide what type of expenses do we need to be able to record and track for our events. Then you can select any of those and put in the details. So you've got your expense type, how much you've budgeted, what the expense actually ends up being, how much you've paid, what the date is, if there's a vendor, if there are any comments. And this is something that you'll probably be filling in as the event planning progresses. So at the beginning, you've got your budgeted amount. Eventually, once you lock in a vendor, assign that track, whatever it might be, you've got your expense. And then, eventually, you'll pay that expense and be able to put in what that date is. So this is not something you have to know at the very beginning, but something that you'll be able to record as you go through that event expenses. And then once those expenses have been put in, not only will you see those, kind of itemized on your event record on the expenses tile, RE NXT will create a total for you. So for each event in the events list, you will see the total expenses, and it will also do the math for you, do the calculations to show you based on any revenue that you have put in or not, waiting for that revenue to maybe come in, what your net is for that event. So with that, you have the ability to put in expenses, planned expenses, budgeted expenses, record them as they're paid, and then see those totals, accumulate and also that net. So keep an eye out for that feature. Hopefully, you'll start using that on your event records. And then next feature we're gonna move on to is the ability to configure campaign, fund, appeal, and package for an event. This can be a great time saver and also a great way to help you with your analysis, with your reporting after the fact for these events. So on each event record, you're going to see on the fees tile the ability to set an appeal, a campaign, a fund, and a package. Now I did quickly see earlier somebody asking, can you set more than one package? Currently, the functionality is one one of these each for the event record. But then what happens is any payments that come in, either through your online registration forms or that you manually enter in will automatically have these applied to them. So it automatically lists that appeal, that campaign, that fund, and that package. And then what that enables you to do is better analysis. Now many organizations choose to create an appeal specific to an event so that they get those additional analysis options. So whatever the event might be called might also call the appeal the same thing so that when you go, for example, over to your dashboards, you have the ability to set a dashboard and view that analysis for a specific appeal. So with these dashboards, you can look at things like progress to goal for that particular appeal slash event, maybe gifts by constituent code for that event, giving levels, demographics. So if you do choose to have an appeal record that corresponds to your event, and then you set that event or that appeal on the fees, Again, any registrations or payments that you put in, any registrations that come in through online registration forms, and we'll give you the ability to be able to record and track that information. Also, with a lot of this, with your expenses, with your appeals, there's also many reports that you can run. So the more data that you're putting in, whether it's for expenses or whether it's for appeals or packages or campaigns or funds, gives you the ability to do more analysis and do more reporting. Alright. So we've got two new features so far. Let's move on to the next one here, and that is the ability to configure capacity per fee. So this is a great new feature that's gonna allow you to have more control over registrations for your events. So there are two types of fees, just as a little refresher, two types of fees that you can put in on an event. You can have registration fees. You can have multiple different registration fees. And you can have other fees, and you can have multiple other fees. Registration fees are more kind of a per person type thing. You're registering actual participants, whereas other fees are other things that might be purchased, maybe things like parking passes, maybe a special VIP experience, or something like that. And so for either or both of these, you have the ability to limit capacity for this fee. So, for example, based on this slide here, if we wanted to have just three corporate sponsors, kind of make it a little bit more exclusive, then we would limit capacity for this fee to three. And then what would happen both in our NXT if we were doing a manual registration or if someone went to our online registration form. Once those three registrations are purchased, then you would be able to see a sold out. So whether you are working internally in RE NXT to create a registration or, one of your, and one of your corporate sponsors in this case was going to the online registration form, they would see this is already sold out. And then once you set this capacity, again, whether it is for the registrations or the other fees, you will now see this on the fees tile. And so we can see here we've set limits for some things, for our corporate sponsors, for our VIP tables, for our speaker VIP meet and greets. But then if you're just doing regular registration for couples or individuals, currently, we don't have, any limited capacity on that. And, again, lots of great questions coming through in the q and a. We're gonna try to get to as many as we can, But with so many people, which is great, we're glad we have you all here. If you want to get all of these questions answered, definitely click on over to that docs tab. Sign up for the trainings. It's not just because, I, am an instructor, but we really want you to be able to get the information you need to be able to use these event records successfully. And we've got so much good information in our courses. We've got live instructors there to answer all of your questions. So just keep an eye in mind. If your question doesn't get answered today, definitely find some time for one of those courses. Final thing to mention here for new features on the event record is going to be the ability to edit the event location. So, previously, this is just database view. Now we've got this beautifully in the web view as well. And not only can you edit the event location, you also can once that event location is put in with the address, you can now see a map of that event location right there on that tile. Alright. I'm gonna give us just a minute to see if there are any common questions that we can answer. Again, we can't answer everything live here in the webinar, but if there are any common questions that we should jump in and answer, team feel free to let us know. There are lots of questions. Marie. I tried to catch just a few highlights that were common. There are not any region restrictions to any of the features we're taking a look at today, so it doesn't matter what country you're joining us from for the webinar. All of these features are available. They are all live, so we're not getting any previews of anything today. These are all live features, you should be seeing within your organization system. I saw a couple questions on the expense types, the expense or excuse me, the event categories, the event groups. Those are custom tables, and those are configured within the tables tool, finding settings and then tables from your navigation bar. Few questions on the, capacity. So you can set capacity per fee, and you can have as many different you know, I only sell five sponsorships. I've got a hundred early bird tickets. Those are unique to each fee. I also saw a question. Can you still use the overall form capacity? And yes. So if you wanted to just do a general, once I sell a thousand tickets on the form, it's sold, you can set overall form capacity. That is still there too. Alrighty. Those were, I think, the most common ones that I saw coming through. Alright. Great. Thanks, Kimberly. So that was highlighting some of the new features on event records. Let's now move on to some features new features that we have for working with participants. The first thing here is participant options. So it's very exciting. So first, to make sure everybody understands what participant options are, these are things that a participant can select when they register at no additional cost. So there's not an extra fee associated with it. It's something that we might say is included with registration or that we want them to indicate when they register. So couple of things here. Do, we wanna get maybe, consent a waiver consent. So we want them to be able to click yes on that. And, also, maybe this is a a fun run that we are hosting, and we wanna make sure everybody gets a t shirt. So we wanna know how many to order. They're not paying extra for the t shirt. It's included in registration. So we're gonna set it as a participant option. Now with these participant options, they might be similar across many events. Maybe you do a lot of galas and people need to select their dinner choice, or maybe you do a lot of, athletic events and people need T shirt sizes, or maybe every time you do an event, you wanna know, that waiver consent. And rather than setting it up for each individual event, you now have the ability to copy options from another event. So this can be a huge time saver for you. We know y'all work very hard. We want to save you as much time as possible. So this is a way to not have to set up those participant events on error options on every single event. So if I want to copy options from a previous event into this event record here, at on the participant options tile of the event record, I'll click on copy options from another event, and then I will see all of the events that we have in our system along with how many options there are for that event. Some events may not have options set up yet, so I'll be able to see, are there any options for that? Now currently, I will not be able to see what those options are, but you'll probably have a pretty good idea at your organization. Alright. For a walkathon type event, we do a waiver and we do a t shirt. So you'll see how many options have been set up. You'll click on that event, and then you'll click copy. That will then copy your all of the, participant options from that past event to the next event. Again, big time saver because if we're saying something like t shirts and we have 10 different t shirt sizes, now I don't have to reenter in those 10 different t shirt sizes. Now once those participant options get copied over to this event, you can then edit or delete them. So maybe if I copied over participant options from a previous event and we don't need all of them, we can just delete the ones we don't need. Or if maybe we've got a little bit different dinner options or a new dinner option that I wanna add to what participants can select, I can also edit those participant options. So that will get you started, definitely increase efficiency there with those participant options to be able to copy them and then edit or delete from there. Alright. Next feature that's going to be a nice time saver for our participants is the ability to bulk update participants. What this enables us to do is go to the participant list on an event record and select multiple participants at the same time and then do a number of things from there. So if it's before the event, maybe we want to update the invitation status or the RSVP status of multiple participants at the same time. We can check all the check boxes and then decide do we want to update RSVP or update invitation status, or maybe if it's at the event. As long as you have an Internet connection, you can access RE NXT and this event record on your laptop, on your tablet, on your phone, whatever it might be and check-in people as they show up there at the event as they're coming picking up their name tag right there from your device. You have the ability to mark them as attended at that moment at the event. And then after the event, you can mark everybody who's not attended. So going back in and seeing, okay, who it was said they were attending but didn't show up, something like that. You can go in and check all those boxes, mark them all as not attended all at the same time. Final thing then for our participant options is your event record has a, participant data health analysis for you right there on the event record where you can see what's happening with participants at this event, who's been invited, who has is marked as attending, and whether you have manually marked them as attending or they've done the online registration form, if anybody has midmarked as not attending. And then because you've got your your team working in RE NXT to add in invitations and maybe register people from your end, and you also have people who are completing the online registration form, our NXT is gonna be looking through and saying, okay. Looks like we maybe have a duplicate. Maybe somebody, called and registered on the phone and then, for some reason completed the online registration form at the same time. Looks like it's the same person. Any matched constituents, any new constituents that were generated from the registration form, any new named guests. And if you're wondering more about that registration form element and what exactly that looks like for matching constituents and creating new constituents, definitely take that event registration forms class where you can see how the registration form works, how it feeds in data to your organization as well. And then post event, so this event we've already completed, how many have actually attended, and then how many were no shows. So great data analysis that RE NXT automatically provides for you on that participants tile. Alright then. I'm going to pause one more time before we move on to registration forms and see if there's any other kind of themes of questions that have come through. Alrighty. I did see a lot of questions flying through. Couple key ones I tried to pull out that were common. There were a couple questions around RE NXT and then FE NXT Financial Edge NXT integration. That is coming. That's not a live feature in WebView just yet, but that will be coming if you do have both RE NXT and Financial Edge NXT. Couple other things. I saw some questions on, will this be a feature? Will that be a feature available? If you are finding that there's features functionality that you would like out of these event records or these event registration forms that's not alive yet, definitely some things to put in the ideas bank. So if you haven't heard of that ideas bank, that is over in Blackbaud's community. Communities are community of users where you can post questions to your fellow users and also submit ideas to the programmers, the people who make all the updates and great changes to the products. If there's anything you're wanting to see out of these event records, definitely, definitely check out the ideas bank, see if it's there. Go ahead vote on ideas or add them if they are not there already. If you are more curious about future updates, what we're covering again today is features that are already live, available, and, again, no region restrictions on anything. We're taking a look at today. It is live to all organizations. We do also have our product update briefings. I think the dates for those are gonna come out pretty, pretty soon in early May, but product update briefings should see lots of communication from us on those. That's gonna be your future road map. So what's gonna be the next phase, new updates and so forth of the product that'll be available to us in those product update briefings, I think, first week in May. But we should have lots of communication on that coming out pretty soon. I also saw, lots of questions on check-in options. So if you have access to the Internet at your event venue, you can absolutely be checking folks in. Just log in to your organization's Raiser's Edge NXT, open up that event record, and you can check-in folks from there. So as long as you can get on the Internet, if it's a phone, tablet, computer, doesn't matter, you can log in to Raiser's Edge NXT. You could check folks in as you do, work on that event day of. Okay. I'll move us over then to our event registration forms. So thinking about these event registration forms, as Marie mentioned, we do have a whole ninety minute session on these where you get to practice them. You get to build your own. Highlights I've got us for here, the webinar, are that for your event records, you get the ability to create event registration forms as many as you need for the event. So if you do want to have one for, you know, your usual, registrations for your gala, the tables and tickets you're selling, great. And then you've got one kinda stand alone sponsorship registration form you just wanna share, as needed, you can do that. You can create as many different forms as you might need per event. I did see common question as well on these was can they be copied to other events, and that would be not yet. So you cannot copy from a form from one event record to a different event record yet. Now with the event registration forms, I'm a big fan of these. Really, your donors doing your data entry for you. So if you happen to have worked with our our ENXT standard donation forms, The layout, the structure, how you build these is going to look really, really similar. So you're gonna use that drag and drop designer, add any additional information you want to ask about. You get to decide what fees are on the form. So any registration fees, any other fees. If you configured any other fees or, registration fees on the event record, you can potentially include all of those on the form itself or pick and choose, right, what would be appropriate for that particular form. You'll also see lots of options for checkboxes. Do I want to allow additional donations? So a ton of room for customization on these. But, again, your donors doing your data entry, or your event registration's doing that data entry. One would hope. Right? If I fill out your registration form, I'm gonna give you a really good, accurate, reliable information about myself. If it's a paid event, I'm paying for any fees that I am purchasing, and then, of course, we process those as gift records. So those paid registrations, although you can use these for free events, that's perfectly fine, but paid registrations are recorded in our Raiser's Edge NXT just like they would be if you're using any of our Raiser's Edge NXT online giving donation forms. Those are gonna go into an unapproved batch pending a human approval. Right? Someone's gotta take a look at that over in our web view batch tool, make sure everything's looking correct, make any, of course, changes as you might need, and then those would be approved as full gift records within the system. You're also able to customize a confirmation email. So as folks do fill out the registration form, they submit, we're all good. Right? They receive a confirmation email really summarizing what they filled out on that form, but it's custom. So it is going to be a custom email, including whatever information you do want to record there. I do wanna mention that the, confirmation email is delivered to everybody who completes the form. So heading over to my next slide here. As you're configuring the form, there are I mentioned some checkboxes. So you get to customize, right, the design of the form. One of those checkboxes, it's new, and it's allow registrants to decline RSVP. So you send them the email inviting them to the event. They click your link. Right? They say, no. I cannot attend. That's an option you can turn on if you'd like it. But if they do say, no. I'm not they will still receive a confirmation email. So everyone who completes the form, it's the same confirmation email. So just wanted to make sure that that was nice and clear. You also will see check boxes on the event registration form. Again, you're in charge of. You get to control these per form, of do we want individual guests to be unknown? So if I am selling, sponsorship. Right? And as part of sponsorship, you get a table at the gala, you get to fill five seats or whatever it might be. If the folks don't know who they're going to bring, right, the corporate sponsor's bringing yet, you could check that box, and those would just come in the system as guest of, you know, corporate sponsor, whatever the organization name for that might be. If that's gonna be a huge problem for your organization, you leave that checkbox selected. They'll be prompted to record guest names there. You can also choose to apply a constituent code of your choosing to registrants, created using that form. You can allow organizations to register. If you check that box, you will see they get the ability to record. I'm an organization and put organization information there. And, final checkbox we have is allow donations. So if you think that would be appropriate depending on the event registration form you are creating, check that box. Then on the event registration form itself, folks will get to choose fees, and then they'll get the option to add on additional donation. And, again, we get to control all of this. So lots of checkboxes you're gonna see within that custom drag and drop designer. That is our event registration form tool. Alrighty. Any big questions I may have missed, Marie, as we were talking about those event registration forms? And, again, we're trying to get to all of them, but there are a lot flying through there. Yeah. I'm just gonna call out a few that popped up here. With the registration form, some people noted, if this event is free, it's still asking me for a fee for the registration form. And yes, that is how it works. And you can just set a fee of zero. So in order to use the online registration forms, you do have to set up a fee, but the fee can be zero, but that will be required that there is a fee there. Also, a question from a little bit early about the participant options. If it is something additional you want them to pay for, then you would use the other fee. So participant options is used for if anything is included. If it's something additional that they would pay for, maybe they're paying for the t shirt, then there is the ability to put in an other fee separate from the registration fee. And I love that Kimberly covered, is there ability to allow donations? Because that was the question that came through, so she had a chance to cover that. And then one more common one is that, the confirmation email that's sent out to those who register, it is one email. And we have noted that there is sometimes, registrants who say, but I declined. Why did I get a confirmation? It's basically confirming that they, responded. And so you it's up to your organization to then maybe put in language to say, you're receiving this based on your response and to maybe try to clarify that in the confirmation email. But everyone will receive the same email, that they responded to the form regardless of the response. And let's see. Yeah. Let me just cover one more. I think I mentioned it earlier, but our product update briefings, a lot of the questions that y'all are answering up are asking, will this be available? When will this be available? That product update briefing is a great thing to attend because events is a big focus for RE NXT this year. So there are a lot of things on the road map. And in those product update briefings, you often get a preview of what it the hope is for what it looks like. Obviously, nothing is there exactly yet with that caveat, but they do demonstrate some planned functionality to be able to see kind of what's upcoming for you to look forward to there as well. I'm also seeing common question, add to calendar. Yes. So that is a setting you get to check, a box as well. I didn't capture out of this screen grab here I've got. But you can, check a box as you're designing the form. And then as folks complete the registration form, they're gonna see a confirmation page. They could add it to there's a couple different links there, Google Calendar, Apple, whatever they might be using. If you check that box, they can add that to their calendar platform. So that can be quite helpful right on that confirmation page. I did actually see a few more questions coming through on, either discounts or promos. So that's not a feature that's live available currently. I would say, again, check out our pubs, our product update briefings, we call them, for future state of the software. But currently, we don't have that available yet. If that's something you're looking for as it looks like a lot of us are, I would say vote on that idea over in the ideas thing. Let folks know that our designing these tools, we're really looking for that one. I also saw a few other questions on kind of integrations. If you check out Blackbaud's marketplace, there are lots of partner software applications. If you're looking for, like, auction management software, seeding software, there's a few different options there, for partner integrations that are gonna integrate directly with Raiser's Edge NXT that would have a little bit more functionality for auctions and that kinda thing. I did see that as an option, or question coming through, I should say, too. Alright. And I know we're trying to get through all those questions, but I appreciate all of those coming on over. I do wanna mention I think we've mentioned a few times, but, Marie and I love training. That is what we do all day long. So we wanted to mention some other training options available, and those are within Blackbaud University. So our motto at Blackbaud University is learn fast, work smart. We'd love to get you in an instructor led session. Those are capped at either 20 or 25 people. So as you can imagine, smaller group, we are gonna answer your questions. We're able to work a little bit slower and answer all the questions that you might have, and you get to work in a sample database. You get to test out creating an event record, test out a sample event registration form, practice that, and see what that looks like. So we definitely have trainings on those over in Blackbaud University. You can search for particular content. We've got direct links for you if you click the docs tab here, within the webinar between chat and q and a. You also have options to search. So if you just search for event, we will have a lot coming up for you on, those particular, event records and event registration forms I'm seeing coming through as well. We do also offer private training. So if your organization's interested in that, definitely reach out. We, we do offer private training for organizations, as an additional option. Now within Blackbaud University, we've got some different we call them product catalogs you can take a look at. So Blackbaud has a lot of products. Right? So if you go ahead over to, like, five U campus, that's just learn.blackbaud.com. Choose the product you're hoping to get training on. You can browse different learning paths. And I think I'm seeing some questions on, could we share a direct link over to Blackbaud University? If someone doesn't mind sharing that link to justlearn.Blackbaud.com, that would be great if that could come through the chat maybe there. But we've got lots of different training options. You just choose what you're looking for. You click the enroll button, and you're enrolled. And those are, again, instructor led sessions. We've got one on event records, just called events. We've got one on event registration forms. Those are available direct links over in lots of links coming through. Thank you. In the docs tab directly to those courses, those are also hyperlinked in the slides that we are sharing with you all today. And then I just wanted to to add in also for any of you that joined late. We mentioned quite a few things at the beginning, so just wanted to come back to them here. This session is recorded, and you'll see receive a recording. I did see quite a few questions that we had answered already in our presentation that maybe just you know, you're trying to pay attention to a lot of different things, so you missed it, or you came a little bit late, which we understand lots of things going on. So definitely go back and review this recording because some of the questions that have been asked actually just right now are things we covered a little bit earlier. Also that, we were focused on new features here. We mentioned that in the beginning. We were focused on new features, not a deep dive into things. That's why we mentioned these classes, not because we don't wanna answer your questions, but because this webinar was specifically focused on new features. And if you didn't know, there's over a thousand of you here. So we are, that's why we're not able to get to every single question. This is kind of presenting the information, answering as many questions as we can. That's why we always wanna provide you with those additional resources, the trainings, but also the on demand e learnings that you can access. Best pays for questions because you get somebody live in front of you is those classes, but lots of other resources to learn about events that we have at Blackbaud University as well. And with that, I think that's what we've got for today, unless there's anything final that you have. I think that about covers it. Thanks for your time today, everybody. Really great to see everybody. Thanks for all the great questions and comments coming through. Hopefully, we'll see you in some instructor led training soon.
