ACS exports giving history through the Gift Detail Listing report. You'll run it as a report, preview it, then save the underlying data as a CSV you can upload to Studio.
Steps
- Sign in to ACS.
- Open Searches and Reports and choose Reports.
- At the top, switch the report type from People to Contributions.
- In the upper sidebar, expand Lists and select Gift Detail Listing.
- In the Gift Detail Listing panel below, change the search setting to Use Report Setting for Search Results. (The default, Always Use Last Search Results, will pull whatever you last searched instead of your gifts.)
- Click Customize:
- On the General tab, set your date range.
- On the Report Options tab, select all of your funds and check the box to include deactivated people.
- Click Preview.
- When the report loads, click the View Report Data icon in the top row.
- Open the Export menu and export to Comma Separated Values (CSV).
Before You Upload
Two settings matter most: pick Use Report Setting for Search Results, and be sure to include all funds and deactivated people. Skip either and you'll silently leave gifts or past members out of the file.
