Importing data from ReserveRight software


Here are some notes we have for importing ReserveRight data. If the 2 files mentioned below already exist and are up to date, then you should be able to use them directly. If not, (especially if the history file is not up to date -- check the file's Modified date), then they may need to be exported from ReserveRight.

IMPORTANT: Some preparation in Campground Master may be needed to get the Site names, "How heard", and "Rig Type" fields to match up for proper importing before proceeding. See the Importing Notes at the bottom of this page for details.

The field names listed below are the fields as shown in the right-click menus on the Import function. Fields with just a dash are unknown at this point, and fields in parenthesis can't be imported directly.

For basic information, refer to the program Help or documentation for the import function under File / Import / Import Customer/Reservation/Transaction data. Also see the notes at the bottom of this E-mail for details specific to ReserveRight.

When loading the files in the Import function, select the "Comma-separated" option.


history.asc file:
(import this one FIRST to get customer notes, even if you don't need the historical reservation data)

Note: Import the Reservation fields from this file only if you want the historical reservations to be imported -- otherwise just import the Customer fields.

Importing Notes:

The Site #'s in Campground Master must match the site numbers in the imported data. Likewise, the Rig Type and How Heard fields must match entries in those Pick Lists in Campground Master. So the things you need to have set up in Campground Master before importing are:
  • Sites (either the Abbreviation field or Full Name field in the Site Details must match the import data)
  • How Heard pick list (the Normal Text must match)
  • Rig Type pick list (the Normal Text must match) Examples from a sample file: 5WH, MH, TR
The rest of the fields are either free-form or they're understood by Campground Master in the current form (dates, numbers, etc.).

Individual Transaction information can't be imported directly, but the fields for deposits and balance could be imported to the Reservation / Notes field for reference, and then go through them afterwards to enter the appropriate transactions in Campground Master.

Note on reservation types -- when importing, the Reservation Type is always set to Normal (Reservright doesn't make any distinction). This can be later changed to Monthly or other types as needed through Reservation Details.

Deposits -- The imported data has a deposit amount but no specific transaction data. If there are just a few of these or you don't have deposits, then you can ignore this and enter any Deposit transactions manually after importing. If you want to import the deposits, then after importing the reserv.asc file as listed above, go back and do another Import of the same file. This time only select three fields:
  • 1 Reservation / Confirmation #
  • 2 Reservation / Site Name
  • 29 Transations / Total
This will add the Deposit transactions to the appropriate reservations.
