Before importing a large volume of data into an NPSP org, it's crucial to ensure data quality and optimize performance. Here are the steps:
Check if the Data is Clean, Structured, and in its Final Format:
Review the data to ensure it is free of duplicates, correctly formatted, and complete.
Clean data before importing to avoid data quality issues.
Disable Certain Apex Classes Using TDTM:
Navigate to NPSP Settings in Salesforce.
Under "Settings", find "TDTM (Table Driven Trigger Management)".
Temporarily disable non-essential Apex classes that might interfere with the data import process. This helps improve the import performance and reduces the risk of errors.
By following these steps, you can ensure that the data import process is smooth and that the imported data maintains high quality.
