Address / Phone Out of Sync
"Why is a donor's address or phone bold and red?"
When a donor's address and/or phone information is not in sync with your organization's information for this contact, and you have not told TntMPD which one to use, you will see the donor's address/phone in bold and red.
Often this difference may be due simply to differences in the ways the donor's address information is entered. This discrepancy resolved in the Organization Info box.
You have the option to keep the one you entered, or keep your organization's version. In general, if there is only a slight difference, it is probably better to keep the organization's, since they would have entered it directly either from the postal service version, or from the donor's information they entered themselves (when they gave the gift).
Reasons why a contact's donor information may vary in your TntMPD database vs. your organization's database
| • | (Most likely) Your donor's address information for your organization is slightly different from the way you entered it. Often this can be as simple as the difference between a street name and an official abbreviation. |
| • | Your donor has recently moved and has informed you, but not your organization. |
| • | Your donor has recently moved and has informed your organization, but not you. |
| • | You contact this donor at their home, but they give through their business. |

Note: TntMPD will only compare your organization's address with your database when you use Address Input from Web. It will not make this comparison on an ongoing basis as you download gifts. When you do an Address Input from Web, it will clear any choices you made previously about whether to accept TntMPD or accept your organization.
