Field Descriptions

Field Name

Description

Replace member name with

If you wish to remove the member name from the label (or database file, if using that output option) and replace it with generic text such as 'VALUED CREDIT UNION MEMBER,' enter that text here. Leave the field blank to use the member's name (first, middle initial, and last name, or the full organization name).

  • This is particularly useful if eliminating duplicates by household, since the program omits all but the first record found within a household, and that may or may not be the head of the household. It is also useful when sending a file to a third-party vendor to use for a marketing campaign or other mailing, to help protect member privacy.

Eliminate duplicates by

Choose one of the following to automatically prevent duplicate labels from printing or being included in the database file:

Address (A) – The system will read all of the address fields and discard all but one record for each unique address. All address fields must be identical. (This is the default selection.)

Household (H) – The system will look for household numbers for all of the members included in the mailing list, and will discard all but the first record found (in account number order) at an individual household number.

SSN/TIN (S) – The system will look for Social Security numbers for all of the members included on the list, and will discard all but the first record found (in account number order) with the same Social Security number or TIN.

Choose None if you do not wish the program to eliminate duplicate labels by address or household number (one label per account record).

Include Account #, Phone #, Email Address

If after viewing the names on the dashboard list you elect to produce either mailing labels or a database file, the setting here will control whether or not the member’s account number is printed on the labels or included in the exported database file.  (Exception: When exporting, if you choose the Member account numbers for Member Connect export option, you’ll get account numbers no matter what this setting is, since the Member Connect file only contains account numbers.)

  • BE CAREFUL: If the list was sorted by account base, even if you leave this unchecked the resulting file will include the account base as part of the sort data field (column LBSORT).  So be careful when sending this data to a third party!
