Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Our web-based Swift To-Do List Online that is available at http://www.swifttodolist.com/online also has CSV Export, and you can thus import tasks from it into the Swift To-Do List 8 for Windows.

 

This process is quite simple:

1.Export data from Swift To-Do List Online to a file in CSV format.
2.Then use File - Import Wizard in Swift To-Do List 8 to import that exported file.

 

Here is a step-by-step guide for importing from Swift To-Do List Online into Swift To-Do List 8:

 

Step 1: Log-in into your Swift To-Do List Online account

 

Step 2: Click the Print/Export button

This will open the Print/Export window.

 

Step 3: Include all to-do lists and columns in the export

Click "Columns and Sorting", and check all columns. Then return to the General tab and click Select All to select all to-do lists.

 

Step 4: Export to CSV

Select "CSV" in the Format dropdown, and click Export. Save the file to some location where you can find it easily.

 

Step 5: Open Swift To-Do List 8

Open Swift To-Do List 8 and use File - Import Wizard. This wizard has 4 easy steps.

 

In step 1, browse for the file you've just exported out of VIP Organizer.

 

You usually do not have to change anything in step 2.

 

In step 3, you usually do not have to change anything either. The imported fields can be mapped in this step. Most fields will be mapped automatically, but you can do some manual changes. To do that, just click the field names in the Swift To-Do List 8 column.
The import is quite flexible, so you can customize the mapping to your full satisfaction.
If Swift To-Do List 8 doesn't recognize the date formats, click the Field Formats... button to specify the date formats of the imported file.

 

In step 4, select the target to-do list in which the newly imported tasks should be placed.
If you check "Create Sub To-Do Lists", then new to-do lists will be created and the imported tasks placed into them, otherwise, all imported tasks will be placed into a single to-do list. (One of the imported fields needs to be mapped to "To-Do List" if you want to use this option.)

 

And that's it - click Finish and relax while your tasks are imported, you are done!
