Total Web Solution
As Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT shifts to a total web solution, we're moving features from database view exclusively to web view. As this shift progresses, we'll remove access to these features in database view.
To reduce the risk of service interruptions, gather feedback, and scale as needed, we're releasing these updates in waves instead of deploying everything at once.
To track details and timelines, bookmark this page. To review new features as they're made available in web view, review What's New.
Database view features - waves that are in progress
Under each feature area listed below, use Wave dates to understand when a feature area will begin to turn off in database view. If your organization is included in a wave, you will no longer have access to that specific feature beginning on the date listed. It's important to know that you may receive the updates immediately or in a future release.

Database view features that aren't moving to web view
Some database view features are deferred and considered out-of-scope for the completion of total web solution.
Some database view features are deferred and considered out-of-scope for the completion of total web solution.
For details and reasoning, review database view features that aren't moving to web view. This resource also includes recommendations on how to accomplish database view tasks in a similar way in web view, even without full feature implementation.
Note: To request integration of these features into web view, you can add or vote on ideas in the Financial Edge NXT Community. Based on demand, our strategy may shift.
Tip: To stay up-to-date on Financial Edge NXT, we recommend monitoring other resources, including What's Next, Financial Post in the Community, Product Update Briefing (PUBs), and Knowledgebase.
