  • 1.  Question about Org Records in Raiser's Edge

    Posted 07-10-2019 01:56 PM
    Good morning, everyone. I am working in RE Database view and have a question about organization records. Is there a secret that I am unaware of that would enable me to input a contact name for an organization that would appear in the "Addressee" field when I pull a list? Right now when my individuals and organizations are co-mingled in a mailing list, I am doing a lot of manual clean-up to have the names appear before the orgs for mailing. For example, this is what I have pulling based on how it is entered in RE: Addressee Address 1 Address 2 Company Name A Mr. John Smith 123 Main Street Dr. Jane Smith 555 Main Street Thanks so much in advance to anyone who might be able to make my life a little easier :) Lisa M.

    I pull out the contact addressee/salutation and then put them in the addressee/salutation column. It's pretty easy to do and then merges better.

    Oh sorry I forgot that part in my message! Yes the contact needs to be set up as a relationship and marked primary for that to happen.

That is what I export from RE and the Addressee is ready to go. If you need a salutation then you will have to add that manually but at least you have the full Addressee already there to refer to!

    You set up the Contact Person as a Relationship on the Relationship Tab. Be sure to mark or clean up your contacts so that you have a Contact Type of Primary, Secondary, Other or some other situation like Event Contact. Then when you export or do merges you have the option of Output being the Contact and what Type of Contact or you can export the fields for Contact. Christine A.
