Extracting Data From Your BridalTrack Database

Example of the BridalTrack View List Page, Data Extraction Area

The key to a lot of these tasks is the ability to easily extract your data in a format that best suits the task at hand. For example, because there are no formal rules for sending a Save The Date Notice, there is no right or wrong way to use your data for this task. You can use mailing labels, you can hand write them and you can send them to a professional printer for customization.

It is entirely up to you which method you choose. By using BridalTrack, multiple ways of extracting your data are available so you can accomplish any of those options and more.

This guide will explain how to extract your data from your database and detail all the output options you have available. Extracting data from your database, and this guide, are broken down into 5 key parts:

The first item of this guide explains how you apply criteria to your list so that you can extract just the contacts you need. The other 4 items are the actual formats to which you can output your data.

For example, if you wanted to generate mailing labels to everyone who is to be sent a Save The Date Notice, you can quickly apply criteria to your list to select just the contacts you designated to receive a Save The Date Notice and then select the "Mailing Labels" extraction option. Applying other criteria and using other extraction formats is just as simple.

While this guide will help you learn about extracting data from your BridalTrack Database, the best method is to experiment with your own BridalTrack Database. Sign up for an account, enter some contacts and see how easy it is to extract your data in the format you want. Have no fear of losing or deleting contacts when you extract your data because extracting data just copies your data from your database to desired output format. Familiarizing yourself with the extraction method will not change nor delete any of your information.
