Steps to Enable Preferred Name Mapping

  1. Navigate to the App Directory
    Click on App directory and select Integration tab and click on Blackbaud


  2. Select the Student Object
    Within the Blackbaud integration, locate the Student object. This controls how student information is imported and mapped into Orah.


  3. Adjust the Name Mapping

    • By default, Orah may be set to pull the First Name field from Blackbaud.

    • Update the configuration so that Orah uses the Preferred Name field instead.

  4. Save and Sync
    After updating the mapping, save your changes. Then, run a sync to update student records in Orah so they reflect preferred names.
