Changes in The Raiser's Edge

These are issues to be aware of after you download Fundraiser part transactions:

You can edit the online data on a gift record in The Raiser's Edge for a gift originally from Blackbaud NetCommunity. You can edit the gift amount, gift date, comments, and canvasser information from Blackbaud NetCommunity. When you synchronise the Fundraiser, changes made to the data in The Raiser's Edge appear in Blackbaud NetCommunity. If you edit canvasser information, you cannot distribute the gift to multiple canvassers. The gift can have only one canvasser.

Warning: To avoid duplicate data, you must click Synchronise Now before you edit online gift data in The Raiser's Edge.

If you move a canvasser to another team in The Raiser's Edge, the next time the canvasser logs into the Fundraiser part on your site, the canvasser is automatically a part of the new team.
To properly credit a canvasser with a donation using the Fundraiser part, Fundraiser participant information is downloaded to The Raiser's Edge before the donation from the part. Donations do not appear until the Fundraiser is downloaded.
  For more information about downloading donations, see Donations.
  If a team captain does not exist for a donation, a canvasser is not associated with the donation.
  For example, if a canvasser is not selected using the Promote to Captain menu option in The Raiser's Edge for a team, a canvasser is not credited with the donation.
