True indicates that the email address is valid and able to receive community emails.
False indicates that an email address is fake or that our emails have bounced from the inbox. Members with False in this column do not receive email campaigns.

Test Account—This column indicates whether or not an account is a test account. There is also an option to not include test accounts in member exports. Click here for more details about test accounts.

Birthdate—This column lists the date of birth indicated by the member during the registration process on the account creation page. This will populate if you have the Date of Birth profile field enabled and required.

If only month and year are collected, the Birthdate column will populate with the first day of the month in which the member was born. (ex: 04/01/1990)
If only the year is collected, the Birthdate column will populate with January 1 and the year the member selects during registration (ex: 01/01/1990)

If you ask for DOB outside of the account creation page (for example, in the screener), it will not appear in the Birthdate column. You will need to create a Profile Point and include it in the export settings if DOB data is from an outside source.

Age—This column lists the member’s age. This field is calculated with the birthdate information provided in Column J.

If only month and year are collected (e.g. April 1990), then age is calculated from the first day of the birth month.
If only day and year are selected (e.g. 5, 1990), then age is calculated from January 1st of that year.
If only a year is selected, (e.g. 1990), then age is calculated from January 1st of that year.

Gender—This column lists the gender indicated by the member during the registration process on the account creation page. This will populate if your generic Gender profile field is enabled and required.

If you ask for Gender outside of the account creation page (for example, in the screener), it will not appear in the Gender column of the member export. You will need to create a Profile Point and include it in the export settings if Gender data is from an outside source.
