  • I would love for the new RE certification information to be posted soon and to be able to start my RP certification.
  • I wish more of my staff would jump on the band wagon and take advantage of our Learn subscription my without having to prod them over and over. Yes, you're all busy, but yes, your jobs would be easier if you were more skilled in RE!





     
  • I wish someone could quickly teach me how to generate acknowledgement letters to the contact instead of the organisation name! Its driving me crazy!!

    I also second, or third, or fourth the wish for RE to produce the reports I actually want rather than what I ask for!

    Carley, I love to grant wishes!!



    See the private message I sent with info on including the contact name.



    Happy New Year!
  • I wish RE had a built in Audit tool to track all changes made to all aspects of all records!
  • Barbara Van Handel:

    I wish I would get to meet all the people who post about Raiser's Edge. These are the folks who truly understand my day to day life. I wish Friday at 4:30 we all could collectively say "You all did a great joy this week!  We all made through another week!  Talk to you Monday!

    There is always BBCON, or perhaps a group video chat.

  • Jennifer Claudy:

    I wish RE would magically have whatever data I need for requests from staff, without my having to (find it and) enter it first.  Just got my second of the week asking for a report that requires data I am fairly sure was never entered (or not in a way that makes it usable).



    And I second the glitter cannons...I want those whenever a particularly complex task (and maybe sometimes just a simple one) is completed...and the Siri feature.

    We will actually be having confetti cannons on the 31st.  So exciting!

  • I wish RE just exported all the email list without having to do any cleaning and sent it via constant contact :)

     
  • I wish a non-caloric chocolate bar would magically appear each time I successfully create a null/is not null formula in Crystal Reports.

    Also I wish a "high five" would auto generate for my RE users when they actually follow database procedures
  • I wish there were more informal, local users groups so we could meet our nearby colleagues and build a live community, too.

    I wish there were more informal, local users groups so we could meet our nearby colleagues and build a live community, too.

    We have actually had non-BB user groups through informal networking or other meetups.  It's good to know other users so you can ask each other questions or get references on products.

  • Distinguish between spouse and organizational soft credits.  
  • I wish RE could have a Member Spot light in the upper right corner or on the home page that spotlights a different member each day with a one-sentence tagline to remind us we are not alone and in this together.

    I wish there was a software lilke RE that didn't have over 3000 suggestions posted in their Discovery Idea Bank. 


    I do know that not all are valid as some suggest things that RE is already capable of but it sure would be nice to see more responsiveness to resolving issues/concerns/suggestions.

    I could "save the real suggestions for the Blackbaud Idea Banks"  as Josh suggests in original post but I'm afraid it will get lost there.  wink

     
  • JoAnn - I totally agree, the IdeaBank is scary ...  At one point, I think Blackbaud did go in and do some consolidation of ideas -- but not sure if that's done regularly.  There are umpteen ways of describing an issue/idea hence it's hard to use search, and with no categorization structure it's very time consuming to figure out what's what.  So I think that just encourages people to enter a new idea without even bothering to search for an already existing one, which then generates more like posts ....
  • Gina Gerhard:

    ...the IdeaBank is scary ... 

    Yeah it is!  I have read suggestions and thought, "OMG please don't let me ever get a job a this organization because it will surely be a mess!"  Not to mention all the things that haven't been addressed.

  • I wish i could think of something light and funny. Does that count? :)

    Actually, I wish i could find time to go see the new Star Wards movie. That's better.
