- Columns:
- ID – Number of the row uploaded
In my example, there are 15 rows uploaded, but 18 rows returned.
This is caused by multiples, one email address shared by 2 or more people (usually couples). - STATUS – indicates if (blank), INVALID, NOT FOUND, MULTIPLES, & DECEASED
- (blank) – If status is blank a single record for that email address has been found. (Excel rows 15, 19, 24, 25)
- INVALID – this was not a valid email address (Excel rows 9, 14, 16, 17, 18) notice that these will show "BLANK LINE" or "NOT EMAIL" in the email column, not a return of the data uploaded
- NOT FOUND – valid email but not found in our DB (Excel rows 10, 13, 26)
- MULTIPLES – More than 1 record has been found for this email address (Excel rows 11 & 12: ID 3, 20 & 21: ID 11, 22 & 23: ID 12)
- DECEASED – This record is showing as belonging to a deceased alum. (Excel row 12, ID 3) This happens to be a "MULTIPLE", you can tell because they have the same ID number, 3.
- EMAIL – returns email originally uploaded, except in the cases of INVALID email,these will show "BLANK LINE" or "NOT EMAIL" in the email column
- EMPLID – aka common id
- NETID
- NAME
