2. Click on the “ Tntconnect DataSync Download File” button to download your personal  Tntconnect DataSync file. This file is created the moment you click the button and is a personalized data file for you. It will always have the most up to date data on gifts and donors that Reliant has.
   
   

3. Before we do the import,  Tntconnect allows you to setup automatic tasks for newly inputted data. We do not recommend allowing automatic tasks for your first import. I f you do not turn this off,  Tntconnect will create tasks for all gifts you've ever received.  This could create thousands of tasks related to the donors and gifts you will be importing from Reliant. If you specifically want to have tasks created for all your Reliant imported gifts, then skip to step 4.   If however, you would not like to have tasks created for all your Reliant imported gifts, you can temporarily disable automatic task creation in  Tntconnect as follows: Select Tools in the top menu bar, and click on “Options” [Figure 1]. In the Options dialog, select the “Gifts” tag and uncheck the “Enable Automatic Actions for New Gifts” option [Figure 2].

6.  Tntconnect will analyze the DataSync file and present you with a summary view [Figure 5] which highlights the number of contacts that will be added to your  Tntconnect database, the gifts associated with those contacts, the total amount of those gifts, and the dates of the oldest and most recent gifts.  To sync Reliant data with your existing data, make sure you check the “Try to match new accounts with existing contacts” option.
