I would like to know how everyone is preparing to lose the query database view? We have a lot of important complex queries in the database view that we need to transition. How are you guys transitioning. We will start the process shortly, so it will be helpful to get suggestions. As always, thank you for the help.

    @Payal Sen Your existing queries also exist in webview.

    No, they don't. We can just see a handful of them in the webview.

    @Payal Sen All the folders/categories and queries should be there in RE NXT.

    Double check that you don't have a box checked, category selected, type selected etc.

    The defaults for this make it often appear things are not there.

    @JoAnn Strommen No, nothing is checked, and still we just have a handful of them in the web view.

    @Payal Sen At the top under Category is All Categories selected? You can also check if anything is selected under Type, Format, and created by.

    @Marie Stark, all categories, all types, all formats, and all users, still just 26 of them are showing up.

    @Payal Sen When you scroll to the bottom it will keep loading more.

    Look at what appears folder/category by folder/category. If there are truly only 26 that will show you for sure.

    I would search for one of the queries you believe is missing by name, date or other options. See if it will appear.
    If can't be found then contact support. Seems odd as all transitioned for other users.

    @Payal Sen By any chance are they query lists? I believe those are not currently supported.

    @Payal Sen Another thing to keep in mind. On my homepage in Database View, I have queries that I used regularly in folders I have created for the Homepage. Remember if you do this, none of those on the Database Home Page will carry over. The homepage in RE NXT is of course different from database (another frustrating thing from the folks who brought you CHAOS). So keep that in mind, you will have to do your RE NXT Homepage to get them on there by making them favorites in RE NXT. GOOD GRIEF for this MESS.

    @Joe Moretti Thanks for reminding me to move stuff from the DBMS homepage.

    I believe all queries pull across - if not, you'll need to reach out to support as that's very strange!

    My main concern is that this is going to make data cleaning very very difficult for any fields not yet editable (or even visible) in NXT. Please vote for this idea: and leave a comment (Blackbaud are more likely to review ideas that have lots of comments)
