September's Stuff You Need to Know Forum Contest

Options
Hey, Raiser's Edge Community!


Each month I share some of my favorite resources on a topic for Stuff You Need to Know, and this month is Export. Take a look at some of my picks, and then I'd like to know what you think! 


Please share your favorite tips, tricks, and resources below to help your fellow RE users master the art of Raiser's Edge. The tip or resource that receives the most likes by the end of the month will receive a gift card (and Community-wide acclaim)! We'll be accepting submissions all month, but the sooner you post, the longer your suggestion will have to get likes.


So what do you think? What are some of YOUR favorite resources or tips that help you make the most of Export? 


For more great tips, please join me for our Live Chats on Export later this month on the 14th and 28th. We'll be sharing some handy tips and then hosting a Q&A. I'd love to see you there! smiley

    I have a couple of different tips I've found useful. First, re-naming column headers so that the export document comes out (for instance) reading "Spouse" rather than "CnSpSpBio_Name". This is done by right-clicking the output field after you select it. It makes it easier to create a one-click "finished document" export for novice database users without them having to decode and re-name all the excel columns after an export.

     

    The day they came out with this, angels sang.
