Export Terms

  • Job:  A Job is a container for a type of import. For example, the job named "Membership Export" is loaded by default. The Job has a set of mappings associated with it, and will contain many Job Executions.
  • Mapping: The mapping is a description of how to write a column of data and determines the column names for the CSV of output data. 

  • Job Execution: A job execution is one instance of the Job being run. It contains the Membership.csv file that was produced during the job execution. 


How to Run an Export

    • In ACME Back Office, go to Settings > Import Export > Export tab.

  2. Click on the Export job "Raiser's Edge Export Job".

    • If this job is not already present, please contact Product Support.

  3. Select export parameters.

    • "Export All Since Last Run" will find all eligible records since the last export date.

    • "Export All from mm/dd/yyyy" allows you to select a specific date from which to export records.

      • Note: for the first time an export is run in ACME, it is best to pick a date in the not too distant past for the first export otherwise the large quantity of data can cause the export to fail.
