  3. Under Reporting, go to All Transactions.
  4. On the right side of the page, choose your dates for the export.
  5. A Member ID is needed for all transactions. If this field is blank for any transactions, go to step 6. If all Member IDs are present, proceed to step 13.
  6. An Envelope Number must be assigned in Servant Keeper to use in the Member ID field in SecureGive. To assign an Envelope Number, log in to the individual’s profile in Servant Keeper.
  7. Click on the “Assign #” field toward the bottom left of the screen. Another dialogue box will appear. Choose “Suggest New Envelope #”. A number will appear in the box. Click Save. The same number should now appear in the Env# field in the member’s profile.

  9. Go back to the All Transactions page in SecureGive.
  10. You will need to input a Servant Keeper Envelope number into the Member ID field for each member profile in SecureGive. You will only have to do this one time for each member, and it will stay connected to them for all future transactions. Do this by clicking the exclamation point in the Member ID column from the “All Transactions” page, and then enter their Member ID (Envelope Number) and choose the Update Member ID button. (Please see the GIF below.)

    You can also add a Member ID from the donor's profile by clicking the Add Member ID link, entering their Member ID, and then clicking the Update Member ID button. You can also click the Edit pencil at the top right, scroll down to the Servant Keeper Member ID blank, and then input the Member ID there. Be sure to select Save.
