I would like to be able to make queries that have a lot of including/excluding etc. and have the ability for those queries to be used for generating a list. The user might still filter on that but this would give them a good set to begin with.
This is partially implemented with the static query from database view option when creating a new list. If you want dynamic queries, please continue to vote on this idea.
Safe harbour - all decisions should be made on what is currently available in the product. That being said, it is work that is planned for this next quarter.
Heather McLean - What's the ETA for this?
So excited about this! My take is that you can hook up a standard email list - such as for a monthly newsletter, to go out to a "full list" and the designer can just add that dynamic Full List to the email instead of asking to have a special static query set, then build a new list every time. . I hope I understand correctly!
This will solve so many issues for us. Can't wait!
I still don't really understand the need for basing lists off queries. I know lists are used for email marketing, but why? And where else are they required? I know that some organizations use them because they are easier than queries, but they are limited and frustrating to see and maintain. Now that query is in webview, it feels like Lists are just getting in the way.
Are we fixing the right problem?
Allison Dickerson - we are going to give you access to Query criteria builder in the List to expedite your segmentation and then focus on adding some high impact columns to lists for common use cases first.
Heather McLean - this is so exciting!!!!
This is great but we still need to include so many filters as mentioned, event participation, memberships, would personally helpful for me but I know so many others who could benefit.
Yes, you will be able to start a List from a Dynamic query and it will update.
I think the key here is "dynamic." Will we have the ability for lists to update dynamically from dynamic queries? Can the Admin add a note on what exactly is planned? Thank you!
This is necessary for our processes
Please also vote for my idea submitted on Jun 2, 2026 for a specific reason (RE import to Constant Contact) https://renxt.ideas.aha.io/ideas/RENXT-I-10033 to Automatically refresh query used for RE integration to Constant Contact
Thank you!
While the partial implementation is ok, to truly have the ability to create RENXT Lists via dynamic queries would be a huge game changer in countless ways. I upvoted on this topic but wanted to chime in. I've also brought this up to our Advisory Plus Guru Henry. He agrees it would be awesome.
Need more filters to build the list: Event registration/participation, for example. Fundraiser assignments. Prospect information.
This is a necessity for us!
According to the BBaud Constituent List help, "When you open or refresh a list based on a static query or query list, it automatically updates with any changes made in the database view." But this does not happen, the Webview Constituent list does not actually update. So you have to go back to the original static query, open it, run it, save it - then finally it will update in your Webview Constituent list - very frustrating.
I second Kari Cheng's comment, and all of the others, for that matter. It would be great to have this fully implemented prior to the transition to NXT from database view. Thank you.
We are working to send out a monthly email through NXT where the list of recipients would change each month according to certain criteria. To be able to use a dynamic query would be much better (and a time saver) instead of having to pull a static query each time.
Hoping to see this implemented soon, as we are being told we are fully transitioning from Database View to RENXT soon.
Having a dynamic query would help us immensely with the cumbersome email receipt process! We cannot fully implement NXT's e-receipt function w/out the segmentation options provided with query. Specifically, letter code. While static query is great, it is not feasible to pull a static query every week for 5 letter codes.
I find it very useful to schedule emails for event registration reminders and dynamic queries are important to make sure you aren't spamming people who have either already booked or have already declined. Without dynamic queries it is not possible to schedule effectively and this costs time. I hope you can resolve this soon.
