Import and export

The Transfers menu, to the right of the entries screen tabs, holds the imports and exports.

Importing

1. Click Transfers and, under Import, choose Lenex (.lxf/.lef) or CSV/Excel (.csv/.xlsx).
2. Pick the file. The Review import window opens, with the meet found in the file and a summary: Teams, Registered athletes, New entries, To update and Skipped.
3. Check the Entries, Relays, Events and Teams tabs. Each row shows its state (New, Update, Exists, Skipped) and badges such as no match (file event with no event in the meet) or not registered.
4. Adjust the options (below).
5. Click Import.

The options:

• Import results (shows the count found in the file; off by default): time and status go into the entry.
• Register athletes that don’t exist (on): only those with birth date and sex in the file.
• Register clubs that don’t exist (off): in the meet’s organization; in free-text mode, only for relay teams.
• Update existing entries (on): bib, start wave, empty age group and, with results, time and status.

In a free-text meet, the team name in the file becomes the entry’s team text; relays still require a registered club.

When it finishes, the Import finished window shows entries created and updated, teams created, results and athletes registered.

Note

The preview shows only some rows per tab, but the import writes all of them.

Exporting

Under Transfers › Export:

• Lenex (.lef) — the meet for another system;
• CSV — entries and CSV — results — spreadsheets.

At the desk, the same exports are in the Transfer menu of the results screen. They are generated in the cloud with what has already been sent: upload pending changes first.
