We'd love to help your transition from CFS Live into Breeze go as smoothly as possible. If you get stuck along the way, have any questions, or would prefer to have us import your data (at no additional cost), don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.
Exporting Data from CFS Live
Exporting People
- Navigate to Account.
- Click Download Data.
Notes on Export:
- The tables do not have column headers, you will need to add them.
- The Household ID and Family Status (h,s,d) are used to tie the tables together.
- To figure out the Family Status use this:
- The Household table has the head of household in the name fields, and spouse is in the spouse name fields.
- Dependents are in the the Dependent table.
Importing Data into Breeze
- Sign in to your Breeze account and click the Gear Icon (Account Settings button) in the top right corner.
- Select Bulk Tasks from the dropdown menu.
- Click the category on the left that you'd like to import (e.g. People, Giving, Tags, etc).
