Summary
This guide will cover the process of importing a CivicView general ledger into MindBridge.
Notes/Prerequisites
Note that the General Ledger column mapping section of this guide is based on data exported using our CivicView: Export the general ledger guide and after transforming using our CivicView: Transform the general ledger guide.
Import data
- Import your general ledger file into MindBridge through the File Manager, or by importing directly to the General Ledger section on the Data page. For step-by-step instructions, follow our Import a general ledger guide until the Map Columns step.
- At the Map Columns step, map the CivicView fields as follows:
| MindBridge Column | CivicView Field | Fields used in MindBridge | Used in Analytics* | Notes |
| Account ID | Control ACC | Required | Yes | |
| Effective Date | Trans Date | Required | Yes | Appears in format M/D/YYYY |
| Amount | Amount | Required | Yes | |
| Transaction ID | Batch | Recommended** | Yes | Please refer to our Transaction ID guide if one is not readily available. Also, see note ** below this table |
| Memo | Reference | Recommended | Yes | This will enable the Empty Text control point and allow you to see the memo field for each transaction/entry |
| Account Description | Account | Optional | No | Can be left out as this field will be picked up from the Chart of Accounts |
| Type | Transaction Type | Optional | Yes | |
| User ID | N/A | Optional | No | Use to sort and filter results for reports |
* Optional columns, even if not used in the analytics, can be included for filtering and other visualizations, as indicated under Notes.
** Transaction ID is required but does not necessarily need to be in one single column. In the Review Data step of the ingestion process, MindBridge will recommend a transaction ID based on your data, or you can choose and/or combine different columns to create one. For more information: Understand Transaction ID and data integrity.
