Short Answer
Yes. You can import donation history without selecting a blood bank because Blood Bank Name is an optional field in the BDOI® import template.
Detailed Explanation
The BDOI® import template allows you to record your previous donation history even when you do not know the blood bank where a particular donation took place.
For each donation entry:
- Donation Date — Mandatory
- Donation Type — Mandatory
- No. of Donations — Mandatory
- State — Optional
- Blood Bank Name — Optional
If you remember the blood bank, you can enter its name to make your donation history more complete.
If you do not remember the blood bank, simply leave the Blood Bank Name field blank. Do not guess or enter an incorrect blood bank name.
This is particularly useful when importing older donation records where some historical details may no longer be available.
Key Points
- Yes, you can import a donation without selecting a blood bank.
- Blood Bank Name is optional.
- Donation Date is mandatory.

❤️ Motivation
