Importing Data

Import your complete webCIS flying history into Block-Time. There are two ways to do it — directly from the website, or from a file you request by email.

1. 1

   Open Settings → Import & Export, then tap Import webCIS Data

   A sheet appears offering two import methods.

2. 2

   Choose an import method

Any spreadsheet that can be exported to CSV can be imported into Block-Time. You map the columns yourself, so it works with exports from other logbook apps or custom spreadsheets.

   Save it somewhere accessible — iCloud Drive works well.

2. 2

   Go to Settings → Import & Export → CSV Data Import

3. 3

   Select your CSV file

4. 4

   Map your columns

   Block-Time reads your column headers and lets you match each one to a logbook field. The table below lists every available field you can map to.

   Note

   Only Date is required. All other fields are optional — unmapped columns are simply ignored.
