Add and Manage Applications

To extend the functionality of Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT, your organization can use additional applications created by Blackbaud, Blackbaud Partners, someone at your organization, or other approved external developers in the Blackbaud Marketplace.

Marketplace admin permissions only! To manage apps for your organization, go to the Manage page in the Blackbaud Marketplace. You can view details about each application added, including the application publisher. To use an application, from the Browse page find and then select the application. On the application details page, select Connect. You can also manually side-load an application with its unique ID — acquired from the developer — on the Manage page.

Note: Do you think you should have permission to connect applications in the Blackbaud Marketplace? To learn how, see the Permissions to connect applications help.

Additional Set Up for Applications

Most applications require additional steps to purchase, set up, and use. Before you connect applications from the Blackbaud Marketplace , contact the application publisher for more information. Only connect applications you're familiar with and authorized to access your organization’s data.

Application Security

When you first connect an application, you authorize its access to your Blackbaud environment.  However, at this point, it doesn't have access to your Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT data yet. To access your data, all application users must provide consent to use Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT on their behalf. The application then respects the security rights of the consenting users.

Remove an Application

To stop use of an application, or to prevent its access to your data, you can remove it from the Manage page in the Blackbaud Marketplace. Find the application on the page and select Disconnect.
