Tasks

CiviCRM configuration

• Go to Administer > Global Settings > Localization. Under “Available Countries”, leave the right-hand side blank. Under “Available States and Provinces”, add Canada, the US, the UK, Germany, New Zealand, and Argentina.

Conversion process

• Import individual records (nominated members, and then non-members).

  • Edit file: South Korea -> “Korea, Republic of”.

  • Import into CRM. Maxx’s date format is mm/dd/yyyy. Ignore the phone field.

• Membership data:

  • Create ‘nominated’ membership. Emeritus members will be created as ‘nominated’ and then cancelled.

  • Does Pat have data for the initial start date?

• Import company records.

  • Export sponsor members from MatrixMaxx.

  • Edit file: “Corporate Member” -> “Sponsor”; “Active” -> “Current” (watch for ActiveState’s record!)

  • Edit file: fix @hitmeister.de e-mail, res@opsware.com e-mail

  • Import into CRM. Maxx’s date format is mm/dd/yyyy.

Exports must be in CSV format, UTF-8 encoding. Maxx’s exports are in Latin-1.

CiviCRM doesn’t support committees; should check that the committee rosters are up-to-date on the wiki or somewhere.

Perhaps Groups could be used for this? –KBK

Process

Target numbers: Companies: 37 total, 27 corporate members, 10 non-members.

Target numbers: Individuals: 138 nominated members, 23 non-members.

Should I bother converting the MatrixMaxx applications, for either companies or individuals? Probably not.
