IDLookup takes a list of people and attempts to look them up in Raiser's Edge. You can map various fields for looking up. These include first name or initial, last name, organisation name (it removes punctuation and words like "and", "inc.", etc and can check alias fields too), first line of address (it can recognise address type equivalents e.g. road, rd or rd.), zip code, email address. Just as with the RE import module you can map your file to the plug-in's standard naming convention and save this as a template for future use.
IDLookup Search allows you to use the functionality of IDLookup in finding one off constituents as you would in a regular search screen

Audit Trail tracks changes to data in The Raiser's Edge. At its most the audit includes new records, updates to records, deleting of records. It covers changes made to an individual record, additions made through a batch, imports, and global changes.
There are three version of this application; Audit Trail Free, Audit Trail Basic and Audit Trail Professional. Audit Trail Free is restricted to tracking deleted constituents and will do so to a file rather than to the database. Audit Trail Basic captures changes (additions, updates and deletions) made on a small subset of the constituent record whereas the Audit Trail Professional includes other areas of the constituent record and many other areas in The Raiser's Edge.
The accompanying audit viewer allows you see the changes that have been made over a period of time and filter them based on all the fields mentioned previously. The search can be based on a time frame, a user, a specific constituent, a specific area of the Raiser's Edge, a field within an area or any combination of these.
It is possible to set up audit standards so that you can, for example highlight changes that do not have a valid email address, do not start with an upper case letter or any rule you can think of.
Field profiles for Audit Trail means that you can create groups of critical fields to review, cutting out the 'noise' of those that aren't so important to your work. You set up any number of different field profiles; you can separate out different groups for different users, or areas of RE, or have a separate group to check certain fields where known errors occur on importing.
New in the latest version we have created the ability to undo some changes from the audit. Simply right click on the audit viewer results to revert the value back to the previous value in the audit.

BatchIt:Action allows you to enter actions en masse in a batch. This is the first of a series of modules in the Batch:It range.
Efficiency
Entering actions one by one is slow. Importing actions in one go is not always practical. BatchIt:Action provides the solution to simply and efficiently entering accurate data.
Templates
Create templates for different types of actions. For example, do you use actions to represent an event, or a request for information. Populate the template with defaults and hide pre-populated fields just as you would in a gift batch.
Custom Validation
For users with advanced requirements set up a custom validation file that implements your organisation's business rules. Does your event actions always need a t-shirt size? Should a phone action be prevented if the phone number is international? Create custom validation rules to enforce this or let us help you create them. (Requires coding skills, additional custom validation module required)

Google Calendar Integration for The Raiser's Edge
This plug-in allows you to publish your events online on your organisation's Google calendar. There are two plug-ins and one VBA customisation with the Google Calendar Integration.
The first plug-in is used to set up your credentials including GMail or Google Apps address and password and also select which calendar to publish to.
If you have the VBA module then you can set up the customisation to publish your events whenever they are saved. This will either work with all events or if you have specified an event attribute, just those events. If you do not have the VBA module you can test this functionality on the sample database.
The other plug-in can be used whether or not you have the VBA module. You are able to globally publish or, if they have already been published then globally update your events on Google Calendar.
