In the URL field, enter the URL for your Blackbaud NetCommunity web service. Typically, the format of the URL is http://yourdomainname/PluginService/MasterService.asmx. |
Note: The IT Administrator at your organization can recommend the appropriate URL based on your system configuration. Other URL formats include http://yourmachinename/PluginService/MasterService.asmx and http://yourIPaddress/PluginService/MasterService.asmx. If Blackbaud hosts your website, the URL format is either http://<your blackbaud siteid>.bbnc.bbcust.com/PluginService/MasterService.asmx or http://<your blackbaud siteid>.plugin.bbcust.com/PluginService/MasterService.asmx.

To enable multiple users to process transactions for Memberships and Advocacy Actions at the same time, in the Maximum field, enter the maximum number of transactions to appear on a transactions screen for each user. The default is 250, but you can increase or decrease the number. |
Tip: The number in the Maximum field applies to all transaction types. However, because you can check out transactions for Sign-up Requests, Profile Updates, Donations, Volunteer Requests, and Event Registrations, these transaction types automatically allow for multiple users to process transactions at the same time.
You can also limit the number of transactions on a screen by enabling transaction assignments. For more information, see Transaction Assignments.
