Align database event Response field with NXT event RSVP status field

All the information in the Response field for Events in database view is lost in the conversion to NXT. This is true for the Status field in database Events as well. The RSVP Status field in NXT pulls only from the Registration field in database view. So "No Show" and "Canceled" table options for Response in database view appear as "Attending" in NXT. It would be helpful if Blackbaud could expand the choices in the database Registration field to include No Show and Canceled so that we can do an import to transfer the data to the Registration field so that it shows up in NXT. The database's Registration field is currently limited to Registered, Not Registered, and Do Not Register, with no ability to edit the table.

    I can't understand why the options aren't the same in both versions. If I am running my queries in Database View based on RSVP status, then the option that is marked in NXT should be an option in Database view for me to query on. These fields should have the same values available if they are supposed to be used for the same information capturing.

    I think the comments are spot on, aligning the DatabaseView and WebView would benefit of a lot of organisations for multiple reasons.

    It's ridiculous that the information is not aligned. I delivered misinformation to my Board because I referred to the WebView on my phone and it said a donor had not responded when it was clear on Database view that they had.

    This needs to be fixed

    This definitely needs to be fixed. Need to be able to look at constituent records and see responses without having to open the actual event.

    I also vote to fix this, it is a no brainer really.

    I vote to fix this, I agree database & NXT status fields should align, it is difficult to keep good records if the details entered in database view events do not translate over to the NXT record.

    I agree that the RSVP status should be aligned in NXT with the database. Particularly the field Declined in NXT should come across in the database as a Do Not Register, since that is the only option. For me, a declined and a do not register mean the same thing.

    I agree that this is misleading. I vote to fix this.

    Its is very misleading to see "attending" for people who are a no show. Especially when the other are marked "Attended". Those two terms look very similar and are easy to confuse.

    We have taken to marking no shows as "Cancelled" in the registration field. This is not accurate but at least it switches the status label to "Invited" which is distinct from "Attended".
