Home Page Tiles

Tiles, the blocks on the Home page, represent key data in snapshot form and enable you to drill in where necessary. Tiles are a combination of standard ones built and native to Raiser's Edge NXT and SKY Add-ins tiles.

Tip: The tile options available are dependent on your permissions. If you don't see a tile you think you should, contact your admin to review your permissions. For more information, see Home Page Permissions.

To customize your Home page by adding tiles, from the Home page, select Customize page.

SKY Add-ins are built as independent functionality that integrates into the user interface of Blackbaud solutions. They are implemented as web applications that run external to Raiser's Edge NXT, but they are rendered to look like native Blackbaud functionality. Blackbaud, Blackbaud partners, and 3rd party developers, such as a developer at your organization, can build add-ins that enable you to extend the functionality of Raiser's Edge NXT. Thus, they provide your organization the ability to customize the solution to your organization's needs. To see what SKY Add-ins are available, browse the Blackbaud Marketplace. You can even build your own SKY Add-ins using our SKY Developer tools, including low-code options. For more details on low-code options, we recommend you check out our Microsoft Power Platform documentation.
