Note: The Alumni Class Notes part will be replaced with the more powerful Personal Notes part in an upcoming release. Therefore, class note transactions only appear on the NetCommunity page when a new transaction exists to process. If a new transaction does not exist, the Class Notes category does not appear on the page. This is still true when “All Transaction Categories” is selected in the View field.
Alumni add notes to their class notes page on your website to keep in touch with one another and update classmates on their lives. When alumni add information to a class notes page and it is approved, you are notified in Class Notes on the NetCommunity page in The Raiser’s Edge. You can download this information to a notepad in The Raiser’s Edge. For example, an alumnus mentions in his class notes he got a new dog. If you store class note updates, you create a note on the Notes tab of his constituent record. Keeping track of constituent class notes is another way to know your donors better.
Before downloading class notes, you should select download options for class notes in Class Note Processing. Review that section before proceeding with this procedure.
