Short Answer
State and Blood Bank Name are optional fields when importing donation history on BDOI®. You can import your donation record even if you do not know or do not want to provide these details.
Detailed Explanation
The BDOI® donation-history import template contains fields for:
- Donation Date
- Donation Type
- State
- Blood Bank
- No. of Donations
Among these, State and Blood Bank Name are optional.
This is useful when you are importing older donation records and may not remember the exact state or blood bank where you donated.
You should still provide the information you know accurately. If you know the state or blood bank, adding it can make your historical donation record more complete. However, you do not need to invent or guess information simply to complete the import.
Key Points
- State is optional.
- Blood Bank Name is optional.
- You can import a donation even when these details are unavailable.
- Enter State and Blood Bank information when you know it.
- Never guess or enter incorrect information.
- Donation Date and Donation Type should be entered accurately.
- Use the BDOI® import template for the correct format.
❤️ Motivation
Don't let a missing blood bank name or state erase a donation from your history. The most important thing is that the lifesaving donation happened. Record what you know, keep it genuine, and let your journey continue with BDOI®. ❤️
