Finder Number Settings

A finder number is a sequential number assigned to each name in a marketing effort that is printed on each reply form. Finder numbers generally consist of 15 or fewer characters so they are quicker to enter in a batch than names and addresses.

Finder numbers are used to match a gift to a particular marketing effort. The program generates finder numbers for a marketing effort when you calculate segment counts. In a marketing effort export, you can include Finder number as one of your export fields.

When you configure finder number settings, you specify the next finder number to use and the number of characters available.
