Importing Event Data
Asthma Logbook X supports the import of data from other sources. The import process will inspect a selected file and present the extracted event data for inspection before continuing to add the new events to the logbook.
Supported formats
If you have existing data you can import it into Asthma Logbook X.
The currently support formats are:
- Asthma Logbook X export files
Selecting the data file
Data source: select who produced the data file/the file format.
Peak flow in: if the format doesn't specify the units, these will be used. This is preset from User Settings.
Default inhalers: if the name of the insulin is not recorded in the data file, we can use the default insulins from User Settings.
Use Categories: Asthma Logbook X will set the time period based on an event's time and the times in User Settings. But we can set the Event Name to the event's Category data if the data file format supports this.
Dates in format: what is the date format that the data file uses?
Import events: We can import all events in the data file or only those that are later than the last imported event from the previous import.
Cancel: stop the import process.
Select file & Inspect Data: once the settings above are configured correctly, click this button to select the data file and start its inspection.
Confirming the extracted events
After the data has been
inspected the above view is displayed and you will be able
to review the events and confirm, or not, its inclusion
into the logbook.
Cancel the Import: stops the import
process.
Import Data: confirms that the events
should be added to the logbook. A message will be displayed
when the import process in completed.
Any events that could not be properly processed with be
listed in an Error Log window, which can be closed once you
have finished checking it or manually adding the error
causing events to the logbook.
