7. CRM Upload Guideline Powered by DonorCommunity TM DonorCommunity eLearning Series v1.2, February 2012 Preparing to Upload 1.Using your CRM effectively involves understanding your data –The data you have already acquired or want to acquire only has value if it can be understood, organized and analyzed. –The data you have already acquired or want to acquire only has value if it can be understood, organized and analyzed. It must be sortable, searchable and able to be grouped or organized into smaller sets of data. For instance, knowing that you have 5,000 donors offers little value for understanding how to increase your donor base unless you understand how, when and under what form of interaction your current donors best respond. –To understand your data, look at your current fields and the values found within those fields. For example, if you have different address types (home, business, other, etc.), you will need to define those address types in the DonorCommunity CRM as one of the allowed "Parameters" and then include the allowed type in your import file. As another example, if you have different types of constituents, such as donors, board members or volunteers and you want to identify them by their type of role, the allowed role types must be defined in the DonorCommunity CRM using the Parameters tool BEFORE you include these values in the import file and perform your import.

20. CRM Upload Guideline Powered by DonorCommunity TM DonorCommunity eLearning Series v1.2, February 2012 General Rules DonorCommunity Constituent General Import File Rules –Constituent email address is mandatory Every constituent row must include an email address For constituents without a valid email, assign a pseudo-email that can help identify these constituents for later update and prepare special campaigns to update their data. Example: first.last1@yourdomainmember.org, first.last2@yourdomainmember.org, etc. –Staff member is optional If a constituent is not assigned to a staff member (left blank), only CRM USERS (staff members) with admin rights will be able to access these constituents. –Use Upload Constituents option to add new constituents and/or to update phones, addresses, roles, preferences and additional information (demographics) If constituent’s email exists in your CRM, the process will update its information. If constituent’s email is not found the constituent will be added. Phones and addresses are optional, columns can be excluded or fields left blank, but if any phone or address information is included all of the required phone or address columns must include data. –Values in the Import file must match system or custom parameters (constituent type (Individual or Group), phone type, address type, countries, states, etc.) Back to Contents

21. CRM Upload Guideline Powered by DonorCommunity TM DonorCommunity eLearning Series v1.2, February 2012 General Rules DonorCommunity Constituent Import File Rules –Here are the rules for the Constituent column (primary email – valid email format): 1.The email address serves as the record key and primary email address. 2.To update an existing record, you must specify a email address that already exists in your CRM database. If your intent is to update an existing record and you use a different email address than the existing email address associated with an existing record, a new record will be created (subject to email validation rules) and you will end up with an additional record for a given constituent rather than one record. Existing email addresses include the primary email address and any additional email addresses for a given constituent. 3.If an email address in the import file is not found in your database, a new constituent record will be created if the record data in the import file passes validation. 4.Only one email address is allowed in a single cell of the import file. 5.Quotation marks and carriage returns are invalid characters and will prevent the record from being imported. If your import fails and the data looks good, it is recommended that you open your import file in Excel and expand your row height and look for multiple values in a single cell. 6.Blank email values are not allowed, and those records with blank Constituent email values will not be loaded. 7.Invalid email formats are not allowed and those records with invalid Constituent email formats will not be loaded. 8.If an email address for a new Constituent is not known, create a pseudo email address, but you must make certain the address does not already exists in your CRM database or in another row of your import file. Using a consistent naming convention will help you manage pseudo email addresses and makes it easier to locate them in your database to correct the record with the actual email address. Example: first.lastxx@yourdomainmember.org where xx is a number. 9.When using a pseudo email, it is recommended that you include the Mailing column and set the record's value to No to reduce the number of rejected emails when sending out an email campaign.

If Group is the specified value, then the Group Name column must contain a value and that value must match one of the values specified in your Parameters for Constituent Groups (log in, go to CRM, select Parameters, select Constituent Groups to add, or edit). Example of Group Names can be: Business, Foundation or Other. Add or edit the Parameter values to match those in your import file, or modify the values in your import file to match the defined values in your database before you perform your import. Mismatched values will cause the individual record to not be imported and will be reported in your log file –First Name and Last Name are mandatory for constituents that have Type = Individual, optional for Group Constituents. When First or Last Name is not available, use a convention you will be able to manage in order to update this information at a later time that is also friendly for online marketing. Example: First=Friend, Last=email. –The Column named Mailing is optional, and if not included it will default to Yes. This column indicates that the constituent will be enabled for the Online Marketing module to receive emails. If you are using pseudo-emails, set the value under the column MAILING to No until you have time to correct the constituent record. Back to Contents
