Many calendar programs support so called comma separated values
(CSV) format for importing and exporting data. Active Desktop Calendar
is no different, but when it comes to importing it requires that
a CSV file is structured in a certain expected way.
In practice that means that a CSV file has to have the leading
row with data field names and the order of fields has to be the
same as the one created by Active Desktop Calendar when exporting
to CSV. Here is a single note example:
"Subject", "Start Date", "Start Time", "Description", "End
Date", "End Time", "All day event" "Meeting
in Detroit","26-07-04","00:00:01","Meeting
in Detroit","26-07-04","23:59:59","true"
To import data from a CSV file:
- Right click on the program's icon in the system tray and
choose Layers.
- Click Import data from a file, select CSV file with data
exported from Outlook and click Open.
- Choose the target layer and click Finish. If it happens
that Finish button is greyed out in then either the file
has no data
at all or its structure is not good and the program can
not read data from it.
To export data to a CSV file:
- Right click on the program's icon in the system tray and
choose Layers.
- Select a layer (fur multiple layers keep Ctrl pressed while
making selection) and click Export layer(s) data.
- Adjust export data interval if necessary.
- Choose comma separated values (CSV) as the exporting
format, click Create Export File.
- Select the target
folder, type in some file name and click Save.
Notes:
- When importing, for target layer we recommend you to go with "Import
as new layer" option because that way you will have greater
control over imported data. If you import data into an existing
layer then
you will only
be able to remove them manually.
- Dates in CSV files to import have to be written in the same
format as in an exported file on the same computer because date
format depends on the
regional settings. That means if you export to CSV on a computer that has
US regional
settings and try to import it on a computer that has German regional settings
the import will not succeed.
