Mapping an Community Brands Fundraising Online Form to Millennium Data

Use the following steps to map Millennium data to an existing form in Community Brands Fundraising Online. This allows you to prepopulate the form with constituent data from Millennium:

  1. Sign in to AFO as an administrator.
  2. Go to Campaign Management>Form List, and select the form that you want to display in Millennium.
  3. Go to the Form Details tab and click Edit in the Automatic Data Capture section.
  4. Click Add Rule to add a mapping rule for the Millennium variables you want to use in the form. For each rule, you must complete the mapping as follows:
    1. Select Question Answer in the Fills field and select the Community Brands Fundraising Online question to use in the form.

      Note: If the question you want to map is not shown in the drop-down list, you can add it using the Form Questions feature.

    2. Enter the Millennium variable name in the Source Variable field. The variable you enter should correspond in value to the question you selected in the previous step.
    3. In the On Success field, select an action for this question as will appear in the form on the Millennium page.
      • No Action—Select No Action to display the populated field on the form as an editable field.

        Note: If the constituent edits the information in a field, the information will only be changed on the Community Brands Fundraising Online form. No data will be changed in Millennium.

      • Show as read-only—Select Show as read-only to display the populated field on the form, but not allow the constituent to change the value.
      • Hide question—Select Hide question to hide the question and the populated value from the constituent.
  5. Repeat the previous step for each Millennium variable you want to record on the form.
  6. After you finish adding rules, click Save to save the mapping.
  7. Use smart tags in Millennium to include the form on a Millennium page, as described in Online Constituent Directory Setup-AFO Forms.
