Importing the Tntconnect DataSync file 

The Tntconnect DataSync file is the easiest and fastest way to sync all of your donor and gift information in one easy step.

1. From Reliant's website click on the “DataSync File” button to download your personal ntconnect DataSync file. This file is created the moment you click the button, so it will always have the most up to date data.
   
   
2. If your Tntconnect installation was associated with .tntmpd file types, you can simply double click the downloaded file. Otherwise, in the Tntconnect program, click on "Tools" (in the top menu bar) and select “Address and Gift Import from File,” and browse to your downloaded file [Figure a1].

4. Tntconnect will analyze the DataSync file and present you with a summary view [Figure a3] 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.

   Since you are just starting out, you should not have any donors yet in Tntconnect, so make sure the “Try to match new accounts with existing contacts” check box is UNCHECKED. Click "Next" to import your donors.
