In Raiser’s Edge 7.96, patch 8 and above, a new type of record exists to help track your constituents’ consent. Consent records are stored on individuals’ Bio 1 tab, and configured in Business Rules.
While one of the reasons this functionality was added to help users subject to GDPR, Consent records may be helpful for all organizations, including those who aren’t subject to GDPR. Consent records can be used to collect opt-out and/or opt-in preferences for constituents.
For more information on GDPR and preparing for the changes, see What is GDPR? and the GDPR Hub.
More information and screen shots of consent functionality can be found here.
NOTE: Additional functionality around Consent will be added to Query and Import in a later patch in early 2018. This article will be updated at that time.
