For schools using Blackbaud as their LMS/SIS, there is an incredible amount of valuable data that you are able to access and utilize (such as advanced lists) to help manage your systems and data syncing. Think about syncing rosters, contact information, enrollments, etc.
Oftentimes, you are stuck with this process:
Create the Advanced List in Blackbaud
Run the Advanced list in Blackbaud
Download the data as a local spreadsheet
Repeat once there is new data and try to keep all the spreadsheets named correctly.
What if you could automatically sync advanced list data directly into a Google Sheet?
Suddenly, this process went from the tedious task of manually exporting outdated data to automatically pulling up-to-date data all the time.
This is the power of the Breaking into Blackbaud: BEM.

❌Your insights are limited to the last time you manually ran the Advanced List.
❌ Extracting crucial data demands manual effort and dedicated staff time.
Relying on individuals to pull and manage Advanced List exports diverts valuable resources from strategic initiatives.
❌You'll likely accumulate numerous versions of the same Advanced List, leading to confusion and potential errors:
StudentList, StudentList-1,
StudentList-2,
StudentList-1 Final,
StudentList-OFFICIAL.
✅Your Advanced List data in Google Sheets is always current!
✅Data refresh is automated – no manual intervention needed.
Set it and forget it!
✅No dependence on individual workstations for data extraction.
✅ Say goodbye to a cluttered hard drive filled with redundant spreadsheets!
