User Lists

From Control panel, Users, you can manage a list of your organization's users. As you work with the list, you can fine-tune its criteria to view only specific records and information.

Note: Everyone at your organization with a Blackbaud ID appears in the list of users— not just those with access to Raiser's Edge NXT. If the user already has a Blackbaud ID and you need to provide access to a new Blackbaud solution, edit their roles. For more information, see User Details.

To view records that share characteristics, you can create a custom list. When you create a list, you can save its filters or records for reuse.

  1. From Control panel, Users, select Add and Build a new list.

  4. To view specific information about the records in the list, select Columns, choose which details to include, and select Apply changes.

  5. To save the list for reuse, select Save, Save as a new list.

    Note: Each time you reopen a list, it dynamically includes the latest records that meet the saved filter criteria.

  6. Enter a unique name and a description, then choose whether others can manage the list (and how).
