Importing > VIP Organizer

To import tasks from VIP Organizer, VIP Team To-Do List, or VIP Simple To-Do List, you simply need to:

1.	Export data from VIP Organizer to a CSV file.

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 VIP Organizer (and other editions of this software) into Swift To-Do List 8:

Step 1: Start VIP Organizer

Step 2: Use File - Export - Export to CSV

Save the file to some location where you can find it easily. You can exit VIP Organizer now.

Step 3: 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.

►	Task Merlin might have exported many redundant fields, you can just ignore these.

►	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!
