Download Event Registrations

From the Events Dashboard, you can download Online Express donations into The Raiser's Edge and link registrants to constituent records. The process involves, linking the donor to a constituent record in The Raiser's Edge and then processing the transaction. You can download transactions in bulk, or individually.
