For Ellucian CRM Advance
Corral Works is built first for college and university advancement teams running Ellucian CRM Advance. It handles the small, day-to-day record edits that take more time in Advance than they should — with the validation, permissions, and audit trail your DBA will actually approve of.
Generic "data hygiene" tools weren't built for advancement. They don't know what a designation is, they don't understand the difference between an addressee and a salutation, and they don't speak Advance's validation rules. Corral Works does. It reads from and writes to the live Advance database, respects the security model your team already uses, and lets staff get the small stuff right without filing a ticket.
A few of the jobs that Corral Works was designed around. If your team has a sixth one we haven't listed, tell us on the waitlist — we're hearing them all and prioritizing the common ones first.
Update hundreds of constituent addresses in a single reviewed batch, with the right address-type and seasonal flags applied.
Batch-correct "Mr. and Mrs." / "Mx." / preferred name issues without one-by-one record opens.
Move gifts to the correct designations after a campaign wraps — with the audit trail finance will actually accept.
Adjust pledge installment dates and amounts across a cohort without re-keying every record.
Apply or remove codes across a list — e.g. tagging alumni after a reunion, flagging board members, retiring deprecated codes.
Resolve duplicate attendees, fix missing affiliations, and update event-related codes against your list, not the UI.
