Our favorite updates are when we can improve our products for a wide group of users – no matter your experience level, organization size, or Raiser’s Edge version. ImportOmatic version 3.6 is checking all the boxes – new features, tons of fixes, and touching on nearly every area of the ImportOmatic suite of tools!
We’re adding a couple highly-requested features in your import profiles:
-Duplicate Participants – Do you use the option to “Allow multiple registrations” on Raiser’s Edge Events? In the past ImportOmatic has been so focused on preventing duplicates, that it would not allow you to import more than one registration per person on a single event. Now you can override participant duplicate matching to allow a single individual to be listed on the same event multiple times! To learn more about how to enable this feature, check out this Knowledgebase article.
-Better Soft Credits – When you’re promoting nonconstituent spouses to full records, do you want to ensure they receive soft credits for future gifts from their spouse?How about importing multiple soft credit recipients for one gift? If you’ve ever been tasked with setting up soft credits for a gift, you know how robust soft credits can be in Raiser’s Edge. We’ve tried to incorporate these same handling options into profile configuration in a way that will make it easy to mimic your current practices when importing a large number of records.Test out these steps for spouses and multiple recipients, before applying the new soft crediting options to your next gift import.
In the fall, we added the ability to use RE Exports via the ImportOmatic Export module, allowing you more control over which records are syncing back to connected systems like Luminate Online, Classy, and MailChimp. We’ve made a few more improvements in that area, including the ability to utilize custom export headers. By renaming the field headers in your RE Export, you can easily map your fields, troubleshoot exceptions, and share your IOM Export profiles with colleagues.
When we released Retrace for tracking changes to records in the fall, we were eager to hear user feedback about where to focus our efforts for improvement. You spoke, and we heard you! We now offer more control over database storage and performance impacts that many were concerned about during trial runs. If you already used your free trial for Retrace, but you’d like to try it with these improvements, let us know!
Plus, there are tons of fixes to both FindOmatic and List Management, including new list columns for Primary Phone and Email!
