We have SO MANY duplicate records created through the event module, which requires much clean-up time. Efficiency would be enormously improved if we had the ability to match potential new constituents to existing records for anyone unmatched -- as we now have through the donation forms
Agree with everyone else here. The event forms are so frustrating to use in this regard that it makes me want to go back to using Online Express. It's ridiculous that this feature was not added before release. Please prioritize this.
Blackbaud decided to remove "New Constituent" indicator from NXT gift batch review. You now have to review every single constituent, and figure out if it's a new record or an existing one. At least bring that back!
We spend so much time merging records because a new one is created just because a registrant spells out "South" rather than just using an S in their address as an example. If the address is different at all it creates a new record, regardless of the email used. This is needed yesterday.
Please do this asap - we have duplicates coming out of our ears!!!
Please implement a review process or set up controls in RE like in Online Express, where you can approve / commit the creation of a new constituent record for a registrant not matched to a pre-existent constituent record. Not all registrants need to be in the database as constituents. With Latin names, or names that have accented letters, names misspelled during registration, etc, it will just create lots of duplicates.
