Syntax

OrgNameToID( <CharacterValue> )

 

Purpose

Given the name of an organization, the OrgNameToID() function will search your donor database for a constituent record with a matching organization name. If one is found, the DonorQuest ID number for the constituent will be returned. If no constituent record with a matching organization can be found, then zero will be returned.

 

Parameters

The name of the organization to search for.

 

Returns

A numeric value that is the unique ID number of a matching constituent record if one is found.

 

Usage

OrgNameToID() is generally used during the DonorQuest import process to fetch the ID number of constituents based on organization name, so it may be assigned to ID fields such as the Donation Soft Link, and the Linkage Linked To fields.
