Processing Restore Files
Applicable to:
All restore files are saved in a preset directory on the PC where DemandTools is installed. Starting with DemandTools 2.2 all restore files are located in the ...My Documents/DemandToolsData/Restore directory. To verify or change the restore file directory location, select the "File Paths" tab in the DemandTools Options menu. More information on the File Paths tab can be found here.
The DemandTools options menu has a setting for "Default Restore File Extension", options include xls, xlsx, csv or mdb. By default, restore files are created for all the "Applicable" modules noted above.
NOTE: NO restore files are created for the Cleansing modules; Single Table Dedupe, Lead to Contact, or Lead to Account Deduplication.
When the need arises to process a restore file, in order to take the data back to the original state prior to the changes made, it will need to be processed through MassEffect. When processing a restore file it is important to remember that the ID in the restore file is the key to getting the information back to the correct location. It is also important to remember that if your restore file data includes blank fields that the "process blanks" check box is selected. MassEffect will need to be in "Update" mode for this reversal of data.
