General Information
As of App Version 1.0.48 (95), we introduced a new version of the import function (beta).
It currently supports the following file formats:
- CSV (UTF8) and xls(x)
from these sources:
- Squifly Export
- Squifly Import Template
- Skydiving Logbook (Android App)
- Larsen & Brusgaard ProTrack Excel Format
In order to import a jump log simply click “Import (Beta)” and select the file you want to import. Please note that the maximum number of jumps you can import in one run is currently limited to 1000. We will increase this in the future.
Should you import a previously exported Squifly Log the app will update these jumps in your logbook with the imported version.
Look at the Tutorial down below!
Squifly Import Template
If you have logged your jumps in any other formats of the above listed you can still import them via our Template. In order to do so please download the following Excel Template and copy paste your data into it.
Now that you downloaded the template you can follow the steps below. Some general notes to consider:
Important: Please make sure to avoid special characters in your text such as , ; " ' since they can break the csv file and will lead to no correct import.
Further please make sure to keep the same date format in place!!!
The order of import is from top to bottom! This means your oldest entries should be on top and your newest on at the end. Some other logbook apps might export it in reverse order so make sure to check this.
