6.0 CONFIDENTIALITY - POLICYThe Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) sets forth requirements regarding the privacy of student records. FERPA governs: (1) release of student educational records maintained by an educational institution and (2) access to these records. The act requires the university to protect students’ rights to limit disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in their education records. Disclosure includes the release, transfer or other communication of information to any party by any means, including oral, written or electronic. Any information containing student or employee names and/or ID numbers must be destroyed prior to discarding (preferably shredded).
7.0 SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS - POLICYSocial Security Numbers are no longer stored or recorded in the AIS database. James Madison University will continue to record and maintain Social Security numbers for students in the student administration system. Any downloads from the SA system will not collect/populate social security numbers for AIS. Solicitation pieces will no longer collect the full social security number from donors. Legacy information in Viking has been archived and an algorithm created to disguise all but the last four digits of the social security number for existing records. This false number is displayed in the “Federal ID” field on the People/Biographical screen.

8.0 GRADUATION YEAR
8.1 Preferred Grad Year
Preferred graduation year should be recorded in the “Biographical” screen in the “Grad Year” field.
This field is used when a constituent has requested a grad year different from the year their degree was conferred (this is important in order for the constituent to be invited to return with the correct reunion class – the class they associate themselves with).
Under “Record Types,” click on “Alumnus” and “PREFERRED” should be typed in the comment field of the table showing the grad year.

10.0 NAMES - GUIDELINES FOR DATA ENTRY OF NAMESThis section includes specific information regarding the addition/entry of new constituents into the AIS database.
10.1 New EntriesThere are many ways Advancement Information services could be prompted to enter a new constituent ID in the Viking system. A pledge card and gift could arrive in the mail or a request could come from a department (I.E.: UREC student employee load, Development officer for new prospect). New constituents may be alumni, current students, parents, employees, or a friend of the university.
10.2 PrefixesA prefix represents a title that precedes a name.
Prefixes should be entered for all individuals, unless there is no way to determine what the prefix should be. Please use common sense when determining whether to omit a prefix. If a wife has informed us of her prefix as “Mrs.” and she lists her spouse as “John,” it is acceptable to assign John a prefix of “Mr.” If you are unsure, and the constituent is an employee of the university, call the employee to verify the name.
If a prefix is omitted for one spouse, it should not be entered for the corresponding spouse. Mixed prefix situations cause unreadable salutations on mailings.
NOTE: Before creating a new ID in Viking, a thorough name and ID search must be performed to ensure the person does not already exist in the system – this is to avoid duplication.
PAGE 12 of 66 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE Advancement Information Services
SOP NO. SOP TITLE EFFECTIVE DATE
001 Data Entry Standardization 25-Apr-2008
The following list of prefixes is not exhaustive. See the Abbreviation section of Webster’s Dictionary for additional options.
Dr. Doctor Fr. Father Gov Governor Hon. Honorable Judge Judge Miss Miss Mr. Mister Mrs. Mistress
Ms. Miss or Madame
Pres. President Prof. Professor Rabbi Rabbi Rep. Representative Rev. Reverend Sen. Senator
10.3 Salutations
In Viking, salutations and labels are populated in Biographical by clicking on “Update salutations” and clicking on the corresponding link. Options include the following:
Singular Formal Label
Singular Regular Label
Singular Formal Salutation
Singular Informal Salutation
Joint Formal Salutation
Joint Regular Label
Joint Formal Salutation
Joint Informal Salutation
Salutations must be viewed before updating to insure proper joint salutation is set.
PAGE 13 of 66 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE Advancement Information Services
SOP NO. SOP TITLE EFFECTIVE DATE
001 Data Entry Standardization 25-Apr-2008
Most salutations (single and joint) are automatically generated by the system based on the names (first, middle, last) entered in the Biographical screen.
The Requested and Honor Roll Labels however, must be manually populated. If a constituent requests that their name appear a specific way (and that is different from what has been system generated) a Requested Label must be created. Requested labels are singular and do not need to be duplicated on spouses if entered for an individual who is married.
Every Requested Label must have a corresponding Honor Roll Label. Note that Honor Roll labels are “household” labels containing both spouses and class years (if alumni). Both spouses would receive the same Honor Roll Label.
The RL (Requested Label) and HR (Honor Roll Label) labels override all other labels or salutations in the system. All reports and addresses will use the RL or HR label first (if one exists) for an individual. All estates will receive an Honor Roll label for printing in the Honor Roll list of donors each year.
NOTE: When a constituent has requested their middle name be used as their given name, a Requested Label (RL) must be created in salutations for that individual. If the individual is married, a Requested Label (RL) must be created for both the individual and their spouse so the information is correct on both records. The requested label will reflect the salutation of choice and be used for all mailing lists and reports.
Honor Roll and Requested Labels must be manually created as new salutations.
PAGE 14 of 66 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE Advancement Information Services
SOP NO. SOP TITLE EFFECTIVE DATE
001 Data Entry Standardization 25-Apr-2008
The Requested Label is a two part label, containing “Name 1” and “Salutation”.
The “Name 1” field contains the name that will appear on an envelope for a mailing (such as Ms. Tory K. Jenkins” in the example below).
The “Salutation” field contains the name that will appear as the salutation on a thank you letter (“Dear Ms. Jenkins” in the example below).

10.4 Military Prefixes
Please ensure the proper rank abbreviation is used/typed correctly when addressing correspondence, paying particular attention when addressing such to the other services (i.e., Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, & Coast Guard) as they are not all the same as the Army. For example, the Army abbreviation for Sergeant is typed “SGT” but is typed “Sgt” by the Marine Corps. Charts showing this information can be found in the appendix, and is linked below.
Please click on the link or go to the Appendix (Section 20.0) for a detailed list of military officer abbreviations:
Military Officer Rank Abbreviations
Please click on the link or go to the Appendix (Section 20.0) for a detailed list of military enlisted personnel abbreviations:
Military Enlisted Rank Abbreviations
Retired military:
Per the AP Stylebook, in the case of retired military, the most recent rank of the individual should be used as the prefix followed by their name, then lastly the abbreviation for retired - “(Ret.)”.
Examples:
Major General Charles D. Metcalf, USAF (Ret.)
James B. Davis, USAF (Ret.)
Captain Wayne P. Hughes, U.S. Navy, (Ret.)
Colonel Samuel S Creighton, U.S. Army (Ret.)
NOTE: Whenever an update is made to any part of a name, record the date, what part of the name was updated, the source for the change, and the processor’s initials in the Notes section on the Biographical screen in People.

001 Data Entry Standardization 25-Apr-2008
10.6 Former Names
When a person’s maiden or full middle name is found in the course of research, store that data in Former Names.
PAGE 18 of 66 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE Advancement Information Services
SOP NO. SOP TITLE EFFECTIVE DATE
001 Data Entry Standardization 25-Apr-2008
10.7 Proper Names
Enter the last, first and middle names exactly as the person has indicated. If given the full middle name, enter the full middle name. Do NOT change a full middle name to an initial.
Always use normal upper- and lower-case letters for names. If a person has written all upper-case letters, enter the normal upper- and lower-case letters. If the person’s name starts with a lower-case letter, enter the first letter in lower case.
Maintain spaces in last names (one space maximum) exactly as reported by the person. Examples:
Van Buren Van der Vaart Vander Vaart
Use hyphens, apostrophes or dashes exactly as the person indicates in writing when recording their name. Do not use commas or periods in any name. Do not add punctuation where there is none. Initials, of course, do require punctuation.
In the following examples, any could be correct: O’Donnell Odonnell Dell’Acqua DellAcqua Dellacqua Jones-Smith Al-Hassan AlHassan al-Hassan alHassan al Hassan St Denis StDenis St-Denis SainteDenis Saint-Denis Saint Denis
NOTE: Ensure that spouses last names are entered using the same spelling and punctuation.
NOTE: When information is received in Advancement Information Services regarding the marriage of an individual, do NOT change the individual’s last name to the married name unless they request it. For example, if a “Class Note” is published in Madison Magazine announcing a marriage, the female’s name should not be changed to her new husband’s last name without verification from the alumna, unless it is published with the new name.
VIKING HINT: You no longer have to use two apostrophes when performing a name look-up in Viking. Example: O’Donnell would be entered to search for O’Donnell.

SOP NO. SOP TITLE EFFECTIVE DATE
001 Data Entry Standardization 25-Apr-2008
10.8 Persons with two or more given namesIn cases where a single character is designated as the first name followed by a full middle name, place the single character in the first name field and the middle name in the middle name field.
Example: W Mark Jones Enter as: first name = W / middle name = Mark / last name = Jones
If a person has more than two given names, and has not specified which are considered first vs. middle name(s), enter the first two names into the First Name field and any other names into the middle name field.
Example: Anne Marie Susan Smith Enter as: first name = Anne Marie / middle name = Susan / last name = Smith
Example: Billy Joe Daryl Thomas Miller Enter as: first name = Billy Joe / middle name = Daryl Thomas / last name = Miller
Upon request, it is acceptable to enter two names in the first name field. Example: Anne Marie Smith Enter as: first name = Anne Marie / middle name = blank / last name = Smith
NOTE: When a constituent has requested their middle name be used as their given name, a Requested Label (RL) must be created in salutations for that individual. The requested label will reflect the salutation of choice and be used for all mailing lists and reports. An Honor Roll (HR) label would also be required for any constituent with a requested label.

10.9 Nicknames
Nicknames in the Biographical screen should never be populated unless known and requested by the individual. Nickname should never be a repeat of the actual first name.
Biographical:
If changing the name, make sure to check that the Sort Name has been updated. If the system does not overwrite the previous Sort Name, delete it and click Update again.

001 Data Entry Standardization 25-Apr-2008
10.10 Corporate NamesAll information is typed in upper/lower case format (i.e. not all caps or all lower). If an “article” (a, an, or the) is used as an adjective within the full legal name of a non-person entry, it should be included when entering the name in Viking. If a non-person name begins with the word ‘The’, it should be included when entering the name in Viking (e.g. The Community Foundation).
Examples:
ABC Trucking3M Company Department of Defense University of Virginia J F Kennedy Company Second National Bank The Village Inn
Use periods, commas, hyphens, apostrophes, dashes, or spaces exactly as the business indicates in writing or as indicated on a business check. NOTE: due to limitations in Viking, quotes are an exception to this rule – only use single, not double quotes in a corporate name. Do not add punctuation where there is none. The ampersand (&) should only be used as part of a legal name, otherwise do not use it in any other capacity.
Examples:
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (not B & O Railroad)I.C.U. Eyeglass Inc. (not ICU Eyeglass)Merck & Co., Inc. (not Merck and Company)
NOTE: The “Sort Name” for a business is automatically generated by the system as it is for an individual. The business “Sort Name” field must be manually populated with a name that will sort the business logically in alphabetical order in a list with the other businesses in the database. Example: “The Village Inn” would get the sort name “Village Inn, The”.

10.11 Corporate Honor Roll labels
Corporate Honor Roll labels are added for corporations whose legal name may be duplicated across multiple locations with differing giving levels. The location is added to the corporation in parenthesis for publishing in the Honor Roll list.
Corporate Honor Roll label (H) should be added in Former and Alternate Names by AGR staff during entry and creation of multiple corporate records and during review of the annual honor roll.
Example:ID Honor Roll Label Sort Name000902165 Courtyard by Marriott (Harrisonburg, VA) Courtyard by Marriott000067732 Courtyard by Marriott (Rockville, MD) Courtyard by Marriott000118390 Courtyard Marriott (Williamsburg, VA) Courtyard by Marriott
10.12 SuffixesA suffix is a professional designation that follows a name.
The only suffixes that will be utilized in the AIS database are those that are part of a legal name such as “Jr.”, “Sr.” or “III”.
Other suffixes are as follows although this list is not exhaustive. See the abbreviation section of Webster’s Dictionary for additional choices.
Suffix ReferenceCEO Chief Executive Officer CFO Chief Financial Officer CPA Certified Public Accountant DC Doctor of Chiropractic Dean Dean Director Director DDS Dentist DMD Doctor of Dental Medicine DO Doctor of Osteopathy DVM Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Esq. Esquire JD Juris Doctor Jr. JuniorLLD Doctor of Laws MD Doctor of Medicine OD Doctor of Optometry PhD Doctor of Philosophy Ret Retired RN Registered Nurse Sr. Senior
NOTE: Although most suffixes are not utilized in the constituent name in Viking, it is important to capture this career information in the database. Utilize the “Job” field in the Related Organizations screen to capture important career information and forward all such information to Prospect Research.

10.13 Anonymous donors/donations
There are multiple methods for handling anonymous donors in the AIS system. A donor may wish to remain entirely anonymous or may wish for one of many of their gifts to the University to be anonymous.
In general there are Anonymous Donors, Anonymous Gifts (transactions) and Anonymous IDs.
Please see AIS-SOP-002 – Entry and Tracking of Anonymous Donors - for a detailed description on how to handle donor requests for anonymity in the AIS system.
10.14 Deceased IndividualsThere are many ways AIS may learn that a constituent is deceased. AIS may receive returned mail that is marked ‘Deceased’ by the post office, receive a letter from the family, or receive a copy of an obituary. These sources are considered reliable and verifiable.
In all cases that are not reliable and verifiable, (I.E.: Call-center information or word of mouth) the information received must be forwarded to Prospect Research for further verification (after the constituent is updated to Deceased in the database).
In the case of information that is reliable and verifiable, AGR must check the Prospect Chronology screen in Viking to see if the deceased is defined as a Prospect. If the deceased is a Prospect, all documentation must be forwarded to Prospect Research for further investigation (after the constituent is updated to Deceased in the database).
When a gift is received from the estate of a deceased individual, the prefix in Viking should be changed to “Estate of” to ensure proper addressing of thank you notes, inclusion in Honor Roll and proper coding of gift by CFAE type.
Please see AIS-SOP-009 – Deceased Constituent Data Entry -- for a detailed description on how to further handle deceased constituents in the AIS system.
NOTE: When a married constituent dies, all joint salutations on both spouse’s records must be deleted. Requested labels and Honor Roll labels will also require updates.

11.0 ADDRESSES – GUIDELINES FOR DATA ENTRY OF ADDRESSESStreet names are composed of a number, the street name and a possible unit designator. Follow the guidelines below in entering an address into the AIS system.
11.1 Standards
All information is typed in upper/lower case format (i.e. not all caps or all lower).
11.2 SymbolsSymbols should never be used in the first position of an address field. The ampersand ‘&’ should never be used in place of ‘and’. The percent symbol ‘%’ should never be used. The designation for ‘in care of’ should be abbreviated as ‘C/O’ and should be entered on the first street address line.
11.3 Standardized USPS Delivery Address Line and Last Line
The Delivery Address Line and the Last Line of addresses output to the mail-piece should be complete, standardized, and validated with the ZIP+4 File and City State File, respectively. The Postal Service defines a complete address as one that has all the address elements necessary to allow an exact match with the current Postal Service ZIP+4 and City State Files.
A standardized address is one that is fully spelled out, abbreviated by using the Postal Service standard abbreviations or as shown in the current Postal Service ZIP+4 file.
11.4 Address PunctuationPunctuation in the street number and name is normally limited to periods, slashes and hyphens and should be used if space permits. With the exception of the hyphen in the ZIP+4 configuration, punctuation in the address may be omitted if necessary.
Periods: 39.2 RD Slashes (fractional addresses): 101 ½ Main St Hyphens (hyphenated address): 289-01 Montgomery Ave
11.5 Standard State/Province Abbreviations:State codes must be entered for all U.S. and Canadian addresses. For additional information, refer to the Postal Service Address Standards publication.
NOTE: If all searches for a constituent address have been exhausted and no address can be identified – enter “LOST” and the date MM/DD/YYYY in the Phone 3 field.

SOP NO. SOP TITLE EFFECTIVE DATE
001 Data Entry Standardization 25-Apr-2008
If the primary address uses all available characters on the address line, the secondary unit designator should be on the first address line preceding the primary address. The unit designator should never be on the line following the primary address.
Examples:
Ste 202
1356 S Executive Dr
Recommended abbreviations for common unit designators are:
Unit Designator Abbreviation
Apartment Apt
Building Bldg
Floor Fl
Room Rm
Suite Ste

Secondary Unit Designator
11.8 Compass DirectionsIf appropriate, compass directional words may be abbreviated at the beginning and/or end of the street name. Since a directional word could be confused with the street name, apparent directional words in the middle of the address line should be spelled out; the second directional word must always be spelled out if space will not allow both to be spelled out. Examples:
102 N Main St SW 160 N South St 1624 N South Blvd
Compass directional words should be abbreviated as follows: East E Northeast NE West W Northwest NW North N Southeast SE South S Southwest SW
PAGE 27 of 66 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE Advancement Information Services
SOP NO. SOP TITLE EFFECTIVE DATE
001 Data Entry Standardization 25-Apr-2008

12.0 PHONE NUMBERS – GUIDELINES FOR DATA ENTRY OF PHONE NUMBERS
12.1 Domestic Phone Numbers
The standard entry for all phone and fax numbers is as follows:
Area code must be in parenthesis.
One space between area code and phone number
Hyphen between first 3 and last 4 characters
Example: (540) 568-3555
The Primary home phone number should be entered in the HOME section; primary business phone number should be entered in the BUSINESS section of the Primary Address screen.
Phone 2 and Phone 3 fields should be coded as to what type of phone number they represent (cell, fax etc).
12.2 International Phone NumbersInternational telephone numbers consist of four to seven digits. International telephone numbers should include the country and city codes as part of the international access code field.
1. Country Code
The country code consists of one to four digits and is required (e.g. 876)
2. City Code
The city code consists of one to three digits. Not all countries utilize city codes. The city code is often reported with a leading zero (0).
“011” must be dialed when making international calls from the United States unless dialing to any country included in the North American Numbering Plan.
The North American Numbering Plan, held among many North American countries (Mexico is not included) establishes a procedure for dialing international numbers in a way that is similar to traditional United States procedures (1 + area code). The country code for all NANP countries is 1. The following countries are considered to be a part of the NANP and can be dialed using 1 + the three digit area code. Any phone numbers from NANP countries can be entered in the domestic phone number field in the Viking system.
NOTE: There are only two exceptions to entering text in any of the Phone fields. When entering an extension in a business phone, the extension begins with “x”; and if all searches have been exhausted and no address can be identified – enter “LOST” and the Date (MM/DD/YYYY) in the “Phone 3” field.
