File Import for Tags and Notes

This article provides steps to import Tags and Notes.

Church Manager customers can import tags or notes from a csv file into the system using the Tags Import or the Notes Import. Families or individuals are matched to their Directory entry by envelope number, and the imported tags or notes are applied in directory. Templates for each import are given in the following sections. 

Templates

The import file must be in csv format and requires an "EnvelopeNumber" header, along with a "Tag" or "Note" header as appropriate. Enter the envelope numbers and tags/notes in the rows beneath the headers.

Note* The Tags Import and Notes Import match Directory entries based on the envelope number. Before importing, make sure that the envelope number in your csv file correctly matches the envelope number assigned in Directory for the appropriate family or individual.
