We recently made an Activity Importer! You can now send us a spreadsheet of your activity records and we can import them for you. This is similar to recording outside participation on a user’s profile. Each row in the spreadsheet represents one user’s attendance at an event.
This importer will not add events to your calendar. It is only meant to mass-record outside participation.
The spreadsheet should follow this pattern:
Required Columns:
Last Name
First Name
Youth or Adult
(values should be either “youth” or “adult”)Event Date
(DD/MM/YYYY)Optional Columns:
Event title
Event type
(One of your troop’s available event types)Service hours
Tent nights
Cabin nights
Hiking miles
Canoeing miles
Round trip miles driven
Level
(One of your troop’s available levels—not applicable to everyone)The order of the headers doesn’t matter. Also, headers are case-insensitive (so you can use First Name
or first name
or FIRST NAME
). Dates should be in DD/MM/YYYY format. Youth or Adult
entries should either be Youth
or Adult
, and can be uppercase or lowercase. Gender
entries should be either Male
, Female
, or blank, and can be uppercase or lowercase.
We try to find users by first name, last name, and whether they’re a youth or adult, so be consistent in your naming. For example, if TroopTrack thinks John Smith Jr.'s first name is Johnny
, use Johnny
in the spreadsheet.
If the spreadsheet doesn’t contain all the required columns, we won’t be able to import your users. Also, if any rows in your spreadsheet are missing any required fields (for example, no Youth or Adult
is listed for a user), we won’t be able to perform the import.
Example:
