Laurel Kenerson & Jennifer Murphy | Page #5 © 2010 Blackbaud Support Roundtable: The Raiser’s Edge 7.91 Overview and Q&A Blackbaud Payment Service The Blackbaud Payment Service (BBPS) integrates with PA-DSS compliant versions of The Raiser's Edge, NetSolutions, Blackbaud NetCommunity, and Blackbaud Enterprise CRM. BBPS makes it possible to adhere to PCI-DSS and still process electronic transactions. Full credit card numbers are no longer visible in the software applications - full credit card numbers are stored in BBPS. In each application, credit card numbers are replaced with reference tokens. When credit card transactions are processed, the software application connects to the BBPS service. The reference token in your database will summon the stored credit card number to be used in the transaction. For more information about BBPS, review our BBPS FAQs.BBPS FAQs

During the update to 7.91, credit card numbers from these places are transferred to the BBPS if the credit card is less than 60 days expired. Credit card numbers for one-off (non-recurring) donations and credit cards with no expiration date are not stored in BBPS. After the update to version 7.91, credit card numbers are truncated. Truncated credit card numbers appear with either asterisks or question marks i.e. (************2468) or (????????????2468). Credit cards with asterisks are tokenized, with the full number stored in BBPS. Credit cards with question marks are truncated and not stored in BBPS. Users can NO LONGER view, print, or export full credit card numbers.

When the user re-logs into The Raiser’s Edge, they continue what they were previously working on. If a user is locked out, current processes (Reports, Mailings, Exports, etc.) continue to run, and a user license is still used. This feature was implemented to comply with PCI DSS rule , which states "If a session has been idle for more than 15 minutes, require the user to re-enter the password to reactivate the terminal." You can view this rule and the rest of the PCI compliance rules at For organizations that use Windows Authentication, users will still experience the inactivity lockout.

Laurel Kenerson & Jennifer Murphy | Page #14 © 2010 Blackbaud Support Roundtable: The Raiser’s Edge 7.91 Overview and Q&A Other Software Enhancements cont. Export Specific Attribute Descriptions – Users can export specific attribute descriptions if the attribute data type is a table. For example, in your database you may have an Interests constituent attribute; this has values of golf, soccer, football, baseball, etc. Currently when exporting this value, you can specify how many values to export, but you can’t select which to export (maybe I only want the value of golf to export). Now, users can select which value(s) they would like to export. This is for Table data type attributes only. It doesn’t make sense to have this feature for Text, Date, Number, etc attribute data types.
