How do I find the name of a field to map for an import?

I am having trouble with mapping the fields for my imports. I can see that there is an order to the field hierarchy, but I am having trouble translating your fields to the fields I am importing.

Because of the number of different fields that are mappable, the list of fields shown on the import screens have been changed from a flat list to a hierarchical list. Fields that are related to each other are grouped together. In addition, field names and categories are now searchable.

When you search for a field name, keep the following in mind:

• The most frequently used fields will always show first

• Both the names of groups and the names of field groups are searchable

• When searching for the field name or the field groups, enter the first few characters of the name

The exact list of fields in each import type can be found by clicking the name of the import type. Field groupings for the four types of imports are:

• Donation import groups:

  • Most frequently used

  • Donation

  • Billing address

  • Election period

  • Payment type

  • Recruiter

  • Sign up

  • Work address

• One time import and voter import groups

  • Most frequently used

  • Sign up

  • Address

  • Mailing address

  • Media Market

  • Membership level

  • Precinct
