If you are new to Akada Online and have been using a different management software then you should be able to import your basic account contact data from a .CSV file format.
To Import Account Data:
From the main menu locate Settings.
Click on Admin.
Select Import Data.
Click the Choose File button.
A Windows navigator window will appear.
Find and Select your file.
Your file name should now appear next to the Choose File button.
Click the Open File button.
Use the Import Accounts As drop-down to set the status of the accounts.
Use the First Row to Import tool to tell DanceWorks which row of your file to start the import at.
In the Data From File to be Imported grid you should see the data in each column of the first row to be imported.
Use the drop-down menu next to each piece of data to tell DanceWorks which field the data should be entered.*
Click the Import Data button to start the import process.
You will receive a message confirming your data has been imported successfully.
*In the figure above the account number will not be imported because the option to Ignore Data has been chosen.
