LDAFile Data Import

For new subscribers, LDAFile is offering importation of 2008 activity report data.

When you subscribe to LDAFile, all of your 2008 quarterly reports will be entered into your account. Lobbyists, clients (and client IDs), and registrant information is all stored and filled in for you when you complete new reports.

Then, completing new reports is as simple as selecting the client from th drop-down list, selecting the issue area codes, adding your lobbyists from the drop-down list, and selected the agencies lobbied.

Here’s how LDAFile saves you even more time. If your new quarterly report includes the same issue area codes as the previous quarter, you can simply clone the previous report and the information will be filled in for you. Then just review and file.

Reports can also be saved as Drafts. With Drafts, your lobbyists can log into your LDAFile account, review and edit the reports, and you can file them when you are ready.
