You can update student, faculty, and individual records in Blackbaud Student Information System with changes website users make to their profiles online. For example, when a student changes his address, this appears as a new transaction to download using the NetCommunity page. If a user makes changes to a relation’s profile, for example, a father changes his cell phone number and his son’s email address, these changes appear as one transaction on the page.
If a profile is updated more than once before processing, for example, a student changes his phone number and then his father changes it again, the last transaction processed is the change made to the record in Blackbaud Student Information System.
Tip: If you need to verify that a user accessed a profile and confirmed its accuracy, for example, parents who must check their child’s profile each year as part of reenrollment, we recommend that you add a required Yes/No attribute type to Blackbaud Student Information System, such as “Information is accurate.” Parents will view the profile, make changes if necessary, and then select the checkbox for “Information is accurate.” You can clear the checkbox for the next enrollment period by running a global change for the attribute.
Warning: The NetCommunity page updates only NetClassroom and Faculty Access for the Web users imported from Blackbaud Student Information System. You cannot update applicant records.
