I'm looking for a Class Directory to share with my Reunion Committees and Volunteers. I typically create a directory (as a PDF-- not a CSV) to share all contact information (Home and Business) with them and I can only do this in database view. The impact on this is HIGH.
I also rely heavily on the Alumni and Parent Directories. We share them with alumni during visits and at reunions, and we use them to compare parent and student records between Raiser’s Edge and Veracross (our SIS).
One of their most valuable functions is the ability to easily export constituent IDs (rather than names) to connect parents with students and grandparents with students. This is a key use case that I will miss most if these directories go away.
Constituent Lists do not replace this functionality, and Query for Relationships is not an equivalent alternative. I would like to retain the option to export the directories in PDF, CSV, and XLSX formats.
