Importing GCM TntMPD DataSync file 

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

1. From GCM's website click on the “TntMPD DataSync File” button to download your personal GCM TntMPD 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 TntMPD installation was associated with .tntmpd file types, you can simply double click the downloaded file. Otherwise, in the TntMPD 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. TntMPD 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 TntMPD 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 TntMPD, so make sure the “Try to match new accounts with existing contacts” check box is UNCHECKED. Click "Next" to import your donors.

5. You will have the opportunity to customize which contacts to add to your TntMPD database [Figure a4]. By default, all contacts in the DataSync file will be imported. Clicking “Next” on this screen will add all your donors to your contact list.
