How do I import custom fields for multiple volunteers?

Follow

If you are looking to quickly update custom field information for multiple volunteers, you can do so as a Web Admin. 

  1. If you have not already done so, make yourself a Web Admin
  2. Log in to the Web Terminal as a Web Admin. 
  3. Set up your spreadsheet. 
    • You must include a first name column and a last name column.
    • You may include any contact information or custom field information that you want to update in additional columns.
    • CAUTION: Any blank cells will erase information that exists in MSP! If there is a field you do not need updated, do not include it in the spreadsheet. 
  4. Use the import button to start the import process.

  8. If there are any issues with the spreadsheet, the importer will identify the row and column that needs to be fixed. Correct the issues in the spreadsheet and then reimport.

  9. MSP will confirm how many new and how many existing volunteers have been updated.
