ResearchPoint April 2017 (4.95) Release
Published
This past weekend (April 15), we updated ResearchPoint standalone customers to the April 2017 (4.95) release. Here's a summary of the new features.
New Constituent and Model Score Update Batch Template
We've created a new batch template to add and update constituent records and model scores in one import, which saves you time and makes importing records more efficient. We are currently updating the Data Screening Bundle process to also use this new template as we work to streamline this service and eliminate possible exceptions that can occur when doing multiple imports.
You can use the Constituent and Model Score Update Batch template to import the following fields:
- Constituent attributes
- Model Scores and Ratings attributes
- Spouse attributes
- System model scores
- Existing fields in the Constituent Update Batch template
Date Added Column Available on Records with Constituent Attributes
Records that have Constituent Attributes now have a Date added column that shows when the attribute was added. We made this enhancement because of a request from our Healthcare users who have multiple attributes populated for multiple dates.
This provides a solution for differentiating which attributes were added on which date.
In addition, you can also now select Date added as a query filter and output field for segmentation and exporting.
Upcoming Updates to ResearchPoint
We're continuing to make improvements behind the scenes for new functionality that we'll be releasing in 2017. We're excited to
tell you about the merge capability we're currently developing. This feature will give you the ability to merge duplicate constituent prospect records in your system. This has been a longtime request from users in our community, and we are excited to finally work to deliver on this request. Look for this new functionality in ResearchPoint in 2017!

Target Analytics Data Updates
Since our 4.94 release, we have refreshed the data for Experian, NOZA, Federal Elections Commission (FEC), GuideStar, and Thomson Reuters Business Intelligence (TRBI) in our Target Analytics database. Now, when you perform WealthPoint screenings on a prospect's wealth and ratings record, or when you perform a screening on your research lists, you'll have the latest self-reported biographical data, philanthropic gifts, political donations, nonprofit and foundation affiliations, and income records.
