RE Volunteer and/or Events Modules to reflect on NXT?

MariaLynn Okanlawon

I am trying to find a way to get information about a constituent's volunteer history to reflect on NXT. I understand that if I give the constituent a VOLUNTEER constituent code that will be reflected on NXT, but is there a way to capture what year that person volunteered and for which event? 


Thank you

Where is the info stored? In the Volunteer and Event modules? I only have the Event module, but for that, you can see limited info in NXT currently, like whether the person was invited to and/or attended an event. I assume the Volunteer module's current existence in NXT is similarly limited. I know they have plans long-term to integrate all of the optional modules.

Yes - it definitely helps to understand where all of the volunteer information is being kept in your database view.  Constituent codes can be seen in NXT but there isn't full-fledged event participation available in NXT (yet!) and Blackbaud has not started moving Volunteer information.


Blackbaud is currently looking for customers to provide feedback on managing volunteers, so definitely get in touch with Aaron:

If you are tracking volunteers in database view in an area that you think should be represented in NXT, definitely report back!  I'm sure the community can help!
