Obviously very exciting for new NPSP users, but what about existing users? How do they get these shiny new reports into their instance? Read on…

First things first, we need to make sure a few things are setup in your organization already around Opportunity record types. Because many of these reports depend on the existence of certain record types, they won’t deploy properly without them. Don’t fear, if you don’t have these existing type, you can create them, then deploy the reports, then modify the reports as needed and remove the unnecessary record types. You can also try and deploy without having the record types, though many of the reports may fail to deploy. To check your record types, go to: Setup|Customize|Opportunities|Record Types

While the record type label can be anything, you need to make sure you have the following record type names (see the name v. the label by clicking on the record type in the menu shown above)
You need record types for:
Donation
MajorGift
MatchingDonation
Grant
Membership

Once those are in place, you’ll need to download the zip file containing the report and dashboard metadata. You can use this link, just save the zip file to your desktop or other easily accessible location.

Now comes the “hard” part. Head over to https://workbench.developerforce.com Agree to the terms of service, and click on ‘Login with Salesforce’.

You’ll be asked to either provide your Salesforce credentials if you’re not already logged into your org, or to authorize the workbench to access your org. Either login, or click ‘Allow’. On the next screen, select ‘Deploy’ from the ‘Jump to’ menu, and click ‘Select’.

Now, check the box for ‘Rollback on Error’ and using the ‘Choose…’ button, select the zip file we downloaded earlier from your desktop (or wherever you stored it). Click ‘Next’.

Confirm you deployment settings, and go ahead and click deploy.

The deploy can take some time, practice patience here. When complete, you’ll get a list of the result and can drill down to each report/dashboard/folder to see how that particular object deployed. In the example below, we can see one failure and 56 successes, drilling down into the Contact LYBUNT report, we see it deployed successfully.

Finally, swing back into your org, click on any of the six new reports and dashboard folders, and admire the fruits of your, Tim, Albert, Marc, Ehren and Gorav’s labor!
