ImportOmatic 3.5.1.2 is ready to go! Support for new RE features and many fixes!

Time to shake off the Winter blues with an update to ImportOmatic!  This update includes support for 2 new features in Raiser's Edge and many bug fixes across the suite of tools included with ImportOmatic.


Raiser's Edge recently improved Gender code tables and added new Consent records for tracking communication opt-in/opt-out preferences and GDPR compliance.  To access these features through ImportOmatic, you will need to be on Raiser's Edge 7.96 patch 8+ and ImportOmatic 3.5.1.0+.


If you are planning to use the new Consent features in Raiser's Edge, we recommend thoroughly reviewing Blackbaud's Resources first.  Then check out our advice on preparing to import Consent.


Check out the list of improvements below, or visit the Release Notes section of the ImportOmatic User Guide for more details!


When you're ready to install the update, head over to our Downloads page.   Our User Guide provides instructions on how to update, and our Support team is available for help too!
