Export Your Data

To export your data:

  1. Click Settings.

  2. Click Organization.

  3. In the Database Export section, click Create New Export. The export might several or more minutes to finish.

    Important: Stay on this page while the export runs. If you leave this page before export the finishes, you must create a new export.

  4. Click Download.
    The DataExport-[date].zip file downloads to your computer.

  5. Open the .ZIP file, which includes separate .CSV files for each data type:

  • Addresses

  • Appeals

  • Campaigns

  • Constituents

  • Custom Fields

  • Donations

  • Email interests

  • Emails (email addresses)

  • File Attachments

  • Funds

  • Households

  • Interactions

  • Notes (notes on constituent timelines)

  • Phones (phone numbers)

  • Pledge payments

  • Pledges

  • Processing info (transaction data)

  • Recurring donation payments

  • Recurring donations

  • Refunds

  • Relationship roles

  • Relationships

  • Soft credits

  • Tasks

  • Transaction processor accounts

  • Transactions

  • Tributes

  • Users

  • Wallet items (EFT and credit card data)

This data is not exported:

  • Email and letter templates and their data

  • Engagement scores

  • Built-in interaction fields for Volunteer Activity and Volunteer Hours

  • Groups

  • Membership programs and levels created with the membership management add-on

Note: You must wait one hour before you can export again.

Missing or Odd Data

Data added through conversions, imports, forms, or the API doesn't necessarily fill in all fields in Bloomerang CRM. Some constituents might have these blank fields:

  • Envelope, formal, informal, or recognition name

  • Sort name (only conversions, forms, and API)

  • Country for addresses or phone numbers

A row in the Processing Info file might have a $0 transaction. This is expected. When a recurring donation is created, the credit card is validated with $0 and then charged the donation amount.

Active tasks show 01/01/0001 as the completion date.
