Step 3: Map your fields

Once your file has been uploaded, you will be prompted to map your fields.

 

 

Some columns will be automatically mapped by 'Donor Management' - but, we recommend double-checking that everything looks accurate!

 

A brief overview of your import file will appear on this page, similar to the one below:

Step 4: Re-map any columns if necessary

You can re-map a column by clicking the 'Edit Column' link above the respective column.

Then, you can select the correct Header from the drop-down list of options.

If you would rather not import certain data into 'Donor Management', check the box next to 'Ignore Column'.?


Once you have finished mapping all of your data, click the 'Next' button to move on to the final steps of the import process!
