Pmc 1 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi, After sending out a recent mass mail campaign, I have realised that a lot of the contacts have numbers where the names should be. Is there a way I can trace what file this data came from? I want to find out whether the names were replaced in the system, or whether they were like that on the file, before import, because if this is the case, I need to take it up with our data provider. Thanks in advance,Portia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahouston 3 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 If you are wanting to know if they were changed AFTER you imported, not during import, you can make the nameId field visible on your form. That field is a combination of Name and Id that is created when the record is created, but does not change if you change the name afterwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ahouston 3 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 unless you added a tag or set a field value when you imported the records, I don't think there is a way to know what file your data came from. You can tell when a record was imported based on time stamp if you know when you processed a particular file... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X2Peter 43 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hello Pmc, As of now there is no way to determine which file in particular was used for the import, however you can rollback imports (if needed) by going to Admin > Data Import & Export Utilities > Rollback Import.

Pmc 1 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi all, Thanks for your responses.With regards to the "nameid" field, it isn't present in the form editor. Any idea why not? Or am I looking in the wrong place?(I have double checked; it's not already in the form.) Thanks again,Portia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahouston 3 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Took another look and you can’t surface those fields onto forms anymore. So only other choice is To look at those columns on backend in the database. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
