I've discovered that if a dropped member renews their membership, the past membership does not show up in NXT when you click on the new gift to link it to membership. You would have to create a new membership which I do not want to do. I simply want to reactive the old one but NXT does not allow you to do this, the database version does. It is also a lot easier to link new gifts to membership in database view than it is in NXT. It should be the same or easier in NXT.
Linking gifts to membership is vital to what we do and there appears to be a lot of work to be done before NXT is able to be fully operational.
