Now that your account has all the data it needs to import, we can now start thinking about importing data from your existing database.
There’s a few steps to follow when working with an import file, but the process itself is broken down into just a few main components:
-
Exporting any relevant data from your current database
-
Preparing the import file (and double checking it!)
-
Performing the import
We’ll walk through each of these steps in the articles below to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.

What To Set Up Before You Import (follow instruction under heading below)
What To Set Up Before You Import
We recommend starting with configuring the data within your CSV first, and then adding new fields as you move forward with the Elvanto system. You can always revisit these when you’re ready!
-
People Categories (with additional custom fields)
-
Service Types (for people and service attendance)
-
Note Categories (for notes)
-
Chart of Accounts (for financial)
