Preserve relational exports for customized reporting


Database view currently allows Microsoft Access (.mdb) exports that preserve one-to-many relationships. We use these exports with SAP Crystal Reports to produce 82 customized parish progress reports at each month-end.

Custom Dashboard Builder dashboards do not provide an equivalent reporting process. Each component must be downloaded separately, and the available design options do not support the cohesive, formatted reports we distribute. Manually assembling 82 reports every month would add substantial staff time and opportunities for error.

Will Raiser’s Edge NXT retain .mdb exports or provide an equivalent relational download option compatible with Crystal Reports? If an alternative reporting solution is planned, will it support producing all 82 individually tailored reports from a reusable template without downloading and assembling separate components?

Please clarify the planned functionality and timeline.
