Mapping events
Required fields
The only requirement for creating an event is that it have a name. In the context of importing constituents to an event, you need to have a value in the "Gen. Event Name" column/field.
NOTE: When loading gift records, you can associate gifts with events by using the "Gift Event Name" field.
Special fields
Now you will be able to match the columns in your import spreadsheet to the appropriate custom category/attributes in your import mapping.
Be sure you also assign a rule by using the "set defaults" rule for "Gen. event name", mapping it to the event you're importing into.
NOTE: It is possible to import to custom fields for only the one event you select in the Appeal and event connection section of your import mapping page.
It is also possible to have recurring events in LGL. Read the Recurring events or classes - how to record attendance Knowledge Base article for more information.
