Export and Import

Some of you asked for and export/import facility – so we have added one. Now you can:

    • Export to another device
    • Backup your results

Exporting

  • Select the Event you want to export (Events menu for that event)
  • Menu (three dots on top right hand corner)
  • Export
  • Choose where you want to export to. Google Drive, email etc
  • Select the location to export to
  • Save

Importing

These instructions are written for Google Drive. You may also have success with other apps.


    • Locate the exported file in Google Drive
    • Pick the menu options for the file (triple dots beside the file)
    • Open With
    • A-Fleet
    • OK
    • Your event will be loaded as a new event and made the current event. Old versions will not be over-written
    • Contacts (related to the event) will be added or updated
What if A-Fleet is not provided as a choice?

Some users may find that the .xml backup file is automatically opened by another app. This will happen if your device settings specify a default app for viewing .xml files. Remove that setting, and you should be given A-Fleet as a choice when using Open With.

Try Googling “[My Device Name] clear default app”

For example: I my Samsung phone always opens .xml with “Internet”, the following would fix it:

  • Settings/Apps/Samsung Internet
  • Scroll to “Set as Default”
  • Clear Defaults

Your device may have a different method. 

Usage

    • It’s good to backup critical events prior to updating A-Fleet. We do our absolute best to not break your data. Backups provide an extra layer of protection
    • When running a major event, backup every few races
    • You can export an event and send it to anyone with A-Fleet. For example, you can set-up an HMS event (with seeding), and send it to the race committee to load onto the scoring tablet
