Importing membership data into Currinda

How do I import my current membership data into Currinda?

Currently there is no automated tool for uploading your current membership data into your new Currinda site, however it can be achieved by getting in contact with us through support@currinda.com.

• Import formats that we support
• Summit
• Other Formats

Importing from Summit

We can import your current Summit database straight from the Summit database file.

Importing from other formats

If your data is not in one of the formats above, we would still love to import it. We are happy to work with you to ensure that we can get you up and running on Currinda as if you'd been using it for years. For this to happen however, we would ask you to go over the following checklist to make sure we can perform the data import as quickly as possible.

Data consistency

Data should be grouped consistently. eg. If the title of a column says 'Email', each data point in the column must be a valid email address (or be blank). We insist on this as we cannot interpret the data on individual cases and rely on the column title for information on the nature of the data within the column.
