When you have Blackbaud Student Information System, The Raiser’s Edge, and Online Campus Community, you can use Online Campus Community without integrating Blackbaud Student Information System and The Raiser’s Edge. If you do not integrate the two programs, when you import Blackbaud Student Information System records into Blackbaud NetCommunity, new sign-up requests transactions generate for the records in The Raiser’s Edge.
Tip: We recommend you evaluate whether individuals in these transactions should become constituents in The Raiser’s Edge. For example, you may want constituent records for alumni but not students.
If you integrate The Raiser’s Edge and Blackbaud Student Information System at a later date, the integration links the records and Blackbaud NetCommunity will no longer generate new sign-up request transactions for the records in The Raiser’s Edge.
