As a Raiser's Edge user, you can probably list which order every field goes in on every tab, but have you re-purposed them? Have you ever created an elegant solution by using a module for which it was not intended? Have you ever written code to automate Raiser's Edge processes? Welcome to the next level of being a database administrator. We'll talk about tips and tricks related to Fields and Attribute Config, some interesting ways to "re-purpose" modules and fields, some useful applications of the import and mail tools, and a small intro into the world of API/VBA. You know what The Raiser's Edge was meant to do. Now see what you can make it do.
Some common fields that get repurposed: Bio2/Org2 fields: Religion, Ethnicity, Target, Income, Industry, Birthplace SSN/SIN

Using the “Select From” option in query will allow you to create a daisychained AND merge (as in Query 1 AND Query 2 AND … as many times as you want). Segmentation allows you to build daisychained SUB queries.
