The following has changed in the 2024 Club Importer template:
- Mobile phone is now a mandatory field. There is an optional phone field for an alternative phone number of any type.
- Ability to enter more than one email address per participant.
- There is now a column per Gymsport. The Levels are displayed in a dropdown and no longer require a code. For more information, please refer to 2024 Athlete Coding Guide Release 2
- Parent/Guardian fields (Parent Guardian First Name, Parent Guardian Last Name, Parent Guardian Email) are now mandatory as all Gymnastics Clubs have agreed to provide this information under the National Integrity Framework. For adults (over 18s), this will the participant’s emergency contact. These headers will be relabelled in a future release.
How can I ensure a successful upload?
To you upload your file directly into the club importer please ensure the following to ensure you have a successful upload:
- The file is an xlsx format (Microsoft Excel)
- The headers have not been altered
- There are no special characters in any field. This includes removing names in brackets.
- The birthdates are not in the future and are valid dates in DD/MM/YYYY format.
- You have completed all mandatory information
- Every participant has at least one program registered and you are using the correct format for the levels (see 2024 Athlete Coding Guide Release 2 for more information).
- We recommend adding a space to all phone numbers to ensure that that the zeros at the front of the numbers do not drop off in excel. More info.
- There is no hidden data in the rows below and to the right of the table with the data. Here is how you can resolve.
