How it works

Your list into a query, in one paste

SmartPASTE is a small add-on for the Raiser's Edge database view on Windows. Once it is installed, your list goes into the query screen you already use.

1

Copy your list

Select the column of constituent IDs, codes or other values in Excel and copy it.

2

Open your query

In the Raiser's Edge database view, add your criterion and choose the one of operator.

3

Paste the lot

Paste the whole list in one go and carry on building your query. Nothing else changes about how you work.

What you can do

Why teams keep it installed

List-based queries in minutes

A list of six hundred constituent IDs goes in as quickly as a list of six.

Work from the file you already have

Copy straight from the spreadsheet a colleague sent you, or from the export you just ran.

Fewer typing mistakes

Every value arrives exactly as it appears in the spreadsheet, so the query returns what you expected.

Nothing new to learn

It sits in the query screen your team uses every day. There is no separate application to open.

Still supplied and supported

SmartPASTE remains available to teams working in the database view, with our support desk behind it.

Free, with support if you need it

There is no charge and no time limit. Each user needs a free licence, which we issue by email.
