Alum Directory: improve the RE/NXT API so that changes to employment and education records made by alums in Almabase do not create duplicate records in NXT when synced. The issue is that we pre-populated data into our alum directory from RE/NXT which has 40 years of data for us. After recently launching Almabase to our alums, they enthusiastically updated their profile data with titles for the employer record as well as updated majors and minors etc for their educational records. However, when this data is synced back to NXT, a duplicate record is created in NXT. For example, if NXT already showed someone went to Stanford and the alum came into Almabase and updated that information to show they majored in Biology, when you sync that data from data inbox, NXT will show two Stanford records...one showing the major as biology. The wanted behavior is to append to the NXT record, not add it. We have been through this extensively with support and yes, our transformations and sync rules are correct. We are told this a limitation to the Sync API for both education and employment records.

It would be greatly beneficial if address information from BBMS payments could be accessed and synced to Almabase and then Razor's Edge in the future.

We would like there to be a button to manually decide for each registrant if we want them to be a non-constituent record or not.

Raiser's Edge supports configuring Salutations. Almabase should be able to pull those into the system. This would help in addressing the constituents appropriately in the email communication sent from Almabase.

Currently, the Almabase integration pulls only the solicit codes. If it can pull the flag "Request no email" it would help to ensure the folks who have opted to not receive emails do not get any bulk emails sent through Almabase.

Why is it you can delete a profile who is a user but not a profile that isn't a user? Also, why, when a record is inactivated in RE is it not inactived in Almabase?

When you click on a record within the mapping search you have a link to 'View on Raiser’s Edge' to open the NXT page for that record. However if you click on 'Find constituent on Raiser's Edge instead' and select a record there you can't view the record on NXT for further verification, you can only map.

We are offering one event to reunion goers and some events are also open to the public. Rather than there being two events created we'd love the ability to select form an exsiting event rather than making a new event to collect the rsvp responses across multiple sites to one event.
