Importing Event Data
Diabetes 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 Diabetes Logbook X.
The currently support formats are:
- Diabetes Logbook X export files
- Logbook DM v3.3 for Palm, from a
CSV export file
- UTS Diabetes v1.3 for Palm, from a saved email
Selecting the data file
Data source: select who produced the data file/the file format.
Glucose in units: if the format doesn't specify the units, these will be used. This is preset from User Settings.
Default insulins: if the name of the insulin is not recorded in the data file, we can use the default insulins from User Settings.
Use Categories: Diabetes 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 the it or manually adding the event
to the logbook.
