how to define custom field for imported members?
June 17, 2008, 06:03:33 am
I am uploading thousands of members and have a custom field for membership type with 15 different types.  Each has an abbreviation which has a longer explanation, like a code of COM means "complimentary".

Id like to import those fields and later be able to find members by that field.

How do I import correctly so I can later do this?

Many thanks in advance!

one fail safe way is to create an individual with all fields checked, then export, that way you can be sure you are using the right form for the content of the fields before you do your import.
