Mapping Notes
Field Mappings
If you do not map GIFT DATE when importing, it will be set to the Transaction Date.
You can allow a person's full name as a Tribute (Tribute Name). without having to be an iMIS ID.
Credit Card Payment Type
iDMS DOES NOT currently support importing gifts using a payment method of type Credit Card. As a work around, it is recommended to create a payment type of type Cash and title it in a way that indicates it was an imported credit card gift.
