Import Data Tool - Validation Results

The validation process reviews your import settings, source file, and GiftWorks information.  The results of this validation process include:

• Constituents to be added - this is the number of constituents that will be added to GiftWorks.

• Constituents to be updated - this is the number of constituents that will be updated within GiftWorks.  This is directly related to the import keys and which records it matched between your source file and existing records in GiftWorks.

• Contributions to be added - this is the number of donations that will be added to GiftWorks.

• Contributions to be updated - this is the number of donations that will be updated in GiftWorks.  This is directly related to the import keys and which records it matched between your source file and existing records in GiftWorks.

If the counts do not appear correctly, you may need to review the data that is in your source file or click the Edit Mappings button to go back to a previous step and correct the import settings or field mappings.

If the counts appear correct and you are ready to import this information into GiftWorks, click the Start Import! button to import this information into GiftWorks.  Note: Once you import this information into GiftWorks, there is no way to undo this import.  Be sure that your import settings, data, and validation information have been reviewed prior to importing this information.
