Bulk Importing Data

To import any previously downloaded compatible data files in to WKO+, you will need to use Windows Explorer to locate your stored data. Then highlight, copy and drop that data into the open WKO+ program. Simple enough if you have used those ‘internal’ Windows tools, but for those of you needing specific directions, follow the exact steps below:

1. Find your data that you want to import.  This will be different for each training device and computer environment (ie, different versions of windows).
2. Open Windows Explorer:
   • Start>Programs>Accessories>Windows Explorer
   • Or, right click on the Start icon located in the lower left hand corner and click Explore.
3. Locate "My Computer" then click on the [+] symbol beside your Local Drive C: (your hard drive). From here, it varies by device type.
4. Once you have found the data you want to import to WKO+, select all of that data and highlight it.
   • Go to Edit at the top of the screen and click on “Select All”. This will make all your data “turn blue” or become highlighted. Note: if there are other files within this folder besides your .csv (or .srm, .hrm, .txt) files, remove them. Do not import other files that do not contain training data (for example, do not try to import a .exe file). This will only slow down WKO+ or may cause a malfunction. Left click on the blue highlighted data, drag the data on to the open WKO+ program and drop (let go of the left click).
5. Next, select the correct WKO+ athlete profile you wish to import this data under.  Choose the correct Sport. Then, click on the Save button.
6. The data files will start copying into your calendar and will be converted into the .wko file format (the file format of WKO+). You are now ready to start looking at your data.
   • Please note: this import procedure behaves the same regardless of device type (the only difference being that the files will be located in different folders)

• Example Screenshots:
  First, drag and drop the selected files on to the open running WKO+ program.
  
  
  
• Next, select the athlete you want to import data into, the correct sport, and update workout dates if any were incorrect.
