Special Note: If you are importing a CSV data file that was NOT created by BPTrakr, then you will need to synchronize the data fields in this step. Use the drop-down lists to synchronize the data fields. For each data field, match the data field name to the appropriate column header name in the drop-down list. For example, the best match for the data field Note is the column header name Comment. For the Weight field, it is important to select either Kilograms or Pounds that appropriately matches the data type in the Weight field. Also for the Blood Glucose field, it is important to select either Milligrams per Decilitre or Millimoles per Litre that appropriately matches the data type in the Blood Glucose field. Also note that it is possible that not all fields will be available for import, depending on the data available in CSV data file that you are importing.
